As time went on we decided that we would like to stay and have dinner here but indoors as it was getting cold. There were 14 of us and they managed to fit us into the restaurant area on the proviso we ordered quickly before the 6:30pm booking arrived and one table had to vacate by 8pm. The staff were great and we did not feel that we were being rushed even though some people had starters. A lot of us picked from the specials board and the food came out devine and the service was outstanding. The place was busy as it was the jazz/fringe festival weekend so the clientelle was of all ages (a bit annoying having babies/kids screaming thoughout the meal) including elderly who came in through the fire door for easy access. I would definitely recommend this place which is also dog friendly. This place is soo good that Seasick Steve was playing there that evening and eating his dinner in the pub part as we left.

Firstly i will tell you that this is likely to be an expensive experience - but well worth the…read moremoney for a treat now and again. It is a beautiful Thatched Inn, built in 1371. It posseses open fireplaces, and a choice of cozy tables for 2 or 4, and long tables for larger parties in the back. HRH Prince Charles, Dylan Thomas have both visited here, to sample the beer still brewed on the premesis. The food is pricey, but what a meal you get for your money! A huge plateful that would be enough for two! the most reasonable is the Roast dinners, approx £10 a head. The walls and ceilings of the Inn are covered in memorobilia, from horse brasses to farming tolls, there is enough to occupy your mind while you wait for your meal. On your way to the loo you will encounter a full suit of armour, and in the back are fish tanks, and a talking parrot!

Stayed here the night before a cycling event in the Beacons. The owners and staff were fantastic…read more Very friendly, atmosphere was great on Saturday night. They even got up very early the following morning to cook our breakfast. The rooms were kept for us so we could freshen up after a long day in the saddle. Sunday lunch was extremely busy, but they still found a corner for us to squeeze in to. I highly recommend this hotel, and we'll definintely stay here again. Thanks very much to the owners and staff for making us feel so welcome. You're life savers!

Country pub way out in the back country. The Yelp map doesn't know where it is, but I'll tell you:…read moreit's right opposite the church which -is- shown on the map (and which is closed). The outside sign is in Welsh, Tafern Llew Goch. I would never have found this without the locals who took me there, and I have to say it was friendly, warm, and comfy. But I go to pubs for meals, and the menu wasn't entirely to my taste, a little precious and fussy: perhaps the chef is a little too upscale for the venue. I had a burger which was all right.

Now before you get all judgemental, lets have a little chat about the Wyndham. Yes, it was on Sky…read moreOnes roughest pubs ever and yes it does open at the crack of dawn. Yes the clientele is slightly on the rougher side, but really what do you expect in Merthyr Tydfil. But now, let me tell you a few things about the Wyndham that may come of surprise; the bar stock pretty much everything and anything, prices are god damn reasonable, the music is good and the place is generally very clean. So clean, customers even take their dogs there. Rough, scary looking beasts that once patted are as cute natured as a new born pup. The pub itself is big and airy and in general, a nice place to be. OK, the customers usually have no teeth and are completely plastered before the shops open but let me tell you now, what a bloody educating place the Wyndham is. Be warned, everyone will turn and look as you make your grand entrance, but once again, welcome to Wales! If your lucky enough to not get stared at and actually get involved with the conversation, i can guarantee, hands down, you'll have one of the best little afternoons of your life!

Well, we've been to practically every branch of Wetherspoon in South Wales (some far more than once) so we just had to try this one when we saw it! It's a big spacious building with a high ceiling and a light and airy feel. It used to be a cinema - The Olympia, hence the name. Not such a beautiful place as The York Palace in Llanelli - another Wetherspoon cinema conversion - but very pleasant nevertheless. It seemed very clean and well looked after. There was a huge flatscreen TV on the wall showing the tennis from Wimbledon. We were served by Debra and a young guy (I didn't find out his name) and both made us very welcome - they actually couldn't have been nicer. Debra reminded me to have my coffee card stamped (I wish all Wetherspoon staff would prompt customers in this way as it's so easy to forget) - which means that, next time I'm in a Wetherspoon's pub I can claim a free coffee! Lots of the usual great ales on offer, including Ruddles, Abbots, Guinness, Rhymney and some guest beers too - the Caledonian Flying Dutchman comes highly recommended by my husband!

We were incredibly pleased with how lovely the place is. Great outdoor dining area, and incredibly cosy inside. The staff were incredibly courteous, and the food was just unbelievably good. I'll admit, when I first ordered, I did think that they were a little expensive. However, it turns out that was because I was expecting the food to be of a lower standard. What they brought out to us was worth every penny. This is a fantastic little place, a hidden gem. Worth driving over an hour to go to, seriously.

For tourists this is in an ideal location for visiting Abergavenny, Blaenavon and most of the industrial heritage of Wales and the South West. If you know this area it has everything from historic interest to outward bound activities, scenery and it's oly 40 minutes from Cardiff if you need some serious retail therapy, (also the smaller Festival Park Outlet Village just 15 minutes away). Friendly landlord and landlady who will help with everything from a cot to booking tickets for the Theatre in Abergavenny, I can't recommend it highly enough. Free Car Parking, good links to trains and roads about an hour from Cardiff Wales Airport. Ideal place to stay during the food festival as it's walkable, but not in the expensive zone.
