As I was tucking in to a delicious meal I couldn't help but feel guilty. The hotel began its life as a Victorian Workhouse and the food I was eat was vastly superior to the thin bowls of gruel the inmates would have eaten. The food was so good and so reasonably priced that we didn't bother to find somewhere... More

On arrival it certainly had the Wow! factor rural setting and high above us in the sky were the redkites and not just one or two but numerous redkites. We had booked the deal through KGB it has to be one of the best deals yet! from the initial approach to the Hotel the history attached to the building to... More

We booked a night here using our Unusual Escapes voucher and although there were some nice things about our stay, the place needs some simple improvements to make it much better. If we hadn't pre-booked our stay and were driving past we wouldn't have chosen it for a stay as the roadside hotel sign looks very run down and gives... More

Stayed here overnight en route to North Wales. The staff person on duty was friendly. The room at the top of the stairs was lovely but the bathroom was far far too small. You could hardly fit in it and the shower was next to useless. We didn't eat at the hotel but I would echo a previous contributor's comment... More

On the positive side we had to cancel our two day break at short notice and rearrange as we were both taken ill with flu. The hotel itself is in a beautiful spot and is a work in progress but reading the literature it has been a work in progress for quite a while and with a property that size... More

We have just returned from a two night KGB deal in Brynafon Country House Hotel. We stayed in Gables 3 the room was very large and clean as was the bathroom. The breakfast was well cooked and plenty of it. The dinner was good value for money. The bar area needs some attention with perhaps cosier seating as it seems... More

This hotel is as the owner says 'a work in progress'. The furnishings are generally old but to refurbish this large hotel will take some doing. There were quite a few people staying during our 2 day stay, so something must be working. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was good enough for us not to go... More

Stayed at Brynafon for the duration of the spring show at Builth Wells. Very convinient for us as it was only about 10 miles from the showground. A very warm welcome when we arrived. We stayed in the mews, a room for two. The only problem was that the room had two single beds, as we have a king size... More
