I stayed at the hotel which is located right in the center of Brecon, offering a convenient spot close to town. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but in need of updating especially the bath area. The service was a bit of a mixed bag with some pleasant interactions and areas that could use improvement. The dining experience at the nearby bakery provided limited options with higher prices, but the ambiance was lovely. Overall, a decent stay for the price, but with some room for enhancement.
