We stayed here after a long walk over Pen y Fan. Our lovely room was a welcome sight after such a day. The shower was powerful/hot and the beds comfy with good TV and all very clean. …

A fantastic family run hotel. Ideally located for those wishing to stay or travelling through mid Wales. Well presented rooms maybe not to modern boutique expectations but clean, tidy and maintained. Staff were incredibly friendly. Food especially the Thai dishes were amazing. Off street parking. Good bar.

We stayed for one night to break a long journey. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was very quiet and noticeably clean. Ours was a small twin, which was more than adequate to our needs.  …

A beautiful quiet stay at Llanelwedd Arms. Not a bustling place at all but they do hotel stays and food just right if you looking for something pleasant and mellow.Waiting times are longer but they do try to keep restaurant bookings to 1-2 tables at a time to serve you better. Also some of the best Thai food I’ve had

I cannot be too awful about our experience at this hotel because, look, it is what it is. A small family run hotel in quite an out of the way place. It is not pretending to be anything it is not. …
