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.

This place is fantastic; right in the heart of Brecon town, it' a B&B of the best standard.

The hosts are wonderfully friendly and welcoming and will leave you along to get on with it or be on tap woth helpful hints and tips about the local area if you want insider input. The room are very nice - decorated in neutrals but with a modern twist - and there is ample aprking out the back. Really, if you are staying in Brecon, I can think of nowhere better. I just wish there were vacancies for this year's Brecon Jazz festival

What a lovely place! The Coach House is a calm, clean, tasteful place to stay. It's the antithesis…read moreof the dreaded musty old B&B - it's all landscaped garden, beige & taupe, and matching stripes. There are a few hitches - e.g. we had a Saniflow toilet in our room which made rude noises intermittently; and whoever has responsibility for putting up notices about the place is not a gifted speller - but frankly the warmth and genuine friendliness of the hosts more than made up for these small matters. What's more, I can't remember the last time I had such a fabulous cooked breakfast. Aah, the bacon! Ooh, the sausages! I would definitely return here. I wouldn't dream of bringing the kids though, as they would spoil the calm atmosphere and wouldn't appreciate the proper Welsh Breakfast like we did.

At the end of a rainy day in and around Brecon, my friend and I were looking for a nice meal to end…read moreour weekend. Luckily, we were able to secure a table for a late seating. The castle was big and welcoming, a site for cold rain soaked eyes! The menu was very promising, but unfortunately due to a bit of miscommunication they got our order wrong! We both wanted the lamb shank, but were told only one portion was left- I changed to the pork belly, but somehow the waitress thought we both changed, and brought my friend the completely wrong dish! They were very apologetic, but I wasn't too impressed as they made it clear they thought it was our fault! The pork belly was tender and rich, crackling was good but slightly burned in a little spot. Served with adequate mash, and a slightly overdone pork filet cut, it made for an enjoyable but mediocre meal. Sauce was tasty though, with bits of apricot running through it. The dessert really saved the meal...salted caramel profiteroles. Served with decadent cream and a chocolate sauce, they were absolutely delicious! Overall, decent meal for good price, but make sure you book a table and have a back up menu selection!

I was here for a wedding and had a big 3 course meal and spent quite a bit of time in the gardens…read moreand the bar during my time there. Lovely grounds very scenic with the castle joined to it at the side. They did great food for the wedding with mushrooms for appetizers and a wonderful sunday roast for the main course. The dessert was also terrific. Very friendly And helpful staff and it has a cool location with lots of parks and things to see nearby. Id go again.
