We took advantage of a Groupon offer for a luxury stay at Ty Mawr Mansion(not to be confused by the…read moresimilar named Ty Mawr restaurant and hotel in Brechfa) and were delighted with our experience at the beautifully restored Georgian mansion house. On our arrival the owner, Martin, was immediately on hand to help with luggage and welcome us to the lovely Ty Mawr. We were delighted with our huge suite room, named after previous guest Kiera Knightly, the bedroom with lounge area was dual aspect overlooking the free range chickens and lovely grounds and larger than the whole of our own upstairs house! The luxurious and modern bathroom with a spa bath and rainshower made for a very relaxing pre dinner freshen up. The hotel suite rooms also have their own computers with free broadband, maybe not the speediest of computers but useful for looking up local places and event. Tea tray included delicious home made biscuits, only tiny criticism could be lack of variety with only standard but high quality tea and coffee sachets. An extremely comfortable and huge bed which we were sad to leave. The food, as the previous reviewer of Ty Mawr has written, is delicious and of a very high quality both for dinner and a wonderful breakfast...want more home made bread and toast yum.

The welcome from the owners is like being greeted by friends. I have eaten in their small restaurant on three occasions. On each occasion it was full. The clients include many locals who have, like me, discovered this little gem in the midst of West Wales. The food is sourced locally and the menu reflects what is in season. The rooms are generous and beautifully furnished with modern, lavishly fitted bathrooms. The hotel has 5 star rating and the restaurant has been awarded 1 AA rosette. I highly recommend the restaurant, the food is absolutely superb.

Hopefully they will do something with the 'back garden' as we had views of rubble and a fire escape. A few flowers and bushes would have done wonders! Staff were very friendly, rooms nice and clean and comfy (but HOT - we kept the windows permanently open!!) On-suite showers great, lots of hot water, bathrooms spotless. Food pleasant and affordable. Clientele seems to be primarily coaching holidays (at least it was when we were there). Waitresses European so no Welsh spoken, but they are really very friendly and obviously take great pride in their work. Popped in to the bingo in the evening - the caller was a scream! Not sure if that's how it's usually done as I've never been to a bingo hall, but it's well worth a visit if your staying! The children had a whale of a time.

This is just such a beautiful walk, especially in the winter after some rain when the falls flow…read morewith such gusto. The waterfalls are amazing and the damp drippy green valley a wonder to walk along. There are pools which are fun to play in in summer. Sgwd Gwladys (Gwladys' waterfall) is about a kilometer from the car park I believe. There is a pub, and there are clean public toilets near the car park. Take sturdy boots if walking in winter as the path can be muddy. Not suitable for wheelchairs.

It's quite amazing to see just how many waterfalls are along this route as you follow the path…read morebeside the river into the wilds. The best place to start the walk is next to the Angel Inn at Pontneddfechan where there is a rocky path which leads you through the woods alongside the River Nedd Fechan. You will need to allow a good hour in both directions and the path is uneven and even dangerous when wet and slippery, so not suitable for everyone (there are several warning signs) and sturdy shoes are a must. You pass an old mill and the entrance to a disused silica mine. Further along, the Nedd Fechan and Pyrddin meet and the path now borders the Pyrddin. The first waterfall to see is the Sgwd Gwladys, a lovely sight. It's possible to climb behind the falls as well though I haven't done this myself! Further along you'll come to more waterfalls including the Horseshoe Falls and the Lower and Upper Ddwli Falls. There are lovely views everywhere of the falls and trees overhanging the river. Well worth a visit.

Love this place and wish we'd found it earlier in our stay in Brecon…read more Genuine pub, genuine people, genuinely funny landlord and landlady and two of the friendliest dogs I've ever met! Oh, and the beer and ale's not bad as well! We visited on a Saturday and had missed the Friday night live music, which we were gutted about because it sounded like a good night had been had by all. The barman was hilarious; he was sneaking a half a lager before his wife came back from walking the dogs. I put it to him that half a lager wouldn't hurt, to which he replied 'it's my fifth half and what the wife'll do to me if she finds out will definitely hurt'. Priceless. They had a guest beer on tap, though I've forgotten it's name. I do remember that it tasted great, though. If we're in Brecon again and fancying a wee tipple, we'll head straight for The Bull's Head and its warm welcome.

When I ate here I was very impressed with the quality of the meat and also the veg choice. I would eat here all the time if I wanted british food.

Once you get there you get a choice of pork, beef, lamb & sometimes turkey. You can have more than 1 of the meats too. The carvery has every sort of veg dish you can think of. Even mushy peas, sweetcorn, butterbeans if you want that sort of thing on your sunday roast. There is always a massive pile of roast spuds, roast parsnips & a giant pot of gravy. However I just dont get the condiment system, regular supermarket pots of mint sauce, apple sauce, mustard etc. Which isn't really enough for the sheer quantity of people that eat at their carvery. If it's not busy get a drink, some cutlery and bag a table, then go queue for your food. But as I said earlier be prepared for a long wait on a busy day. They do the carvery everyday too weekdays, last time I had a weekday carvery there it was cheaper than the sundays. You can also get a carvery to go, they will put it in a plastic tray. The decor is oldy worldy black adn white pub sort of thing, horse brasses, lots of dark brown wood, sticky carpet in places. Good clean toilets though. Loads of tables everywhere. But massive plus is the outdoor area, it's great. After the plate and meat, all the rest is self service so you can pile it on your plate and have 3 yorkshire puddings :) Well worth trying out this place!
