I received an afternoon tea voucher as a gift and was keen to return after a superb afternoon tea at this hotel many years ago. When I phoned to book for an early table the hotel seemed doubtful about fitting us in, so I was pleased when they said they could squeeze us in for 3.30pm even though it was... More

we stayed for three nights over the bank holiday weekend, the owners never made themselves known to us, we had a double standard room on the first floor, the room was clean and tidy, but the bathroom door handle was falling off, the tv was small, there was no information book in our room so we had no idea what...

This hotel is very neglected in all aspects,if the general untidyness of the exterior of the hotel fails to put you off staying then the entrance foyer and reception area certainly will,the bedrooms are in the same tired and dated state.The food served is average at best.The staff however are very attentive and deserve praise .The hotel is situated in...

Thank you for the review. We don’t aim to be shabby at anything we do and based on the many positive comment we seem to be getting it right most of the time. The hotel is dated in part which we accept but generally clean and tidy, many of the rooms have been upgraded and the food is above average... More

We stayed here on the way to the Builth Wells Antique fair, which was a bit disappointing, but the best bit was the red kite feeding station next door. The hotel has unusual quirky rooms, the food was excellent and the staff helpful and friendly.

I had to take refuge at the Brynafon due to unseasonal snow on the A470 which temporarily made the road impassable. I was shown to a room which was gloriously warm. Even though it was 10.20pm they re-opened the kitchen and cooked some dinner for me. The owner dug the cars out of snow in the car-park in the morning... More

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay, the 'Den' has just been refurbished and is a great room, private and yet still part of the Hotel. But like all thing in an old place as one room gets sorted out another gives a problem: the lounge ceiling fell in so we had to move the leather sofas into the... More

We recently stayed for a two night anniversary break, using the hotel as a base to explore the surrounding countryside. This was a KGB deal and before booking we did some research via Tripadvisor but were really unsure what to expect. The hotel was excellent and exceeded our expectations; staff very friendly and the room was perfect (we stayed in... More

We have just spent a fabulous weekend at Brynafon. Excellent service, food was delicious... compliments to the chef. The belly pork is to die for. Absolutely delicious but so so so much on the plate. I felt guilty at having to return some of it uneaten. Would thoroughly recommend the Welsh Tapas. Fantastic experience and really good value for money.... More

The reason for staying here earlier in March was to meet up with our daughter who was at a school placement in Rhayader. We were given a warm welcome by Gerry the owner, as we arrived early, the rooms weren't ready so we waited in the comfortable lounge and was given coffee and tea. Our room was Rowan 1, with... More

Dear Guest, thank you for the ‘thumbs up’ during February we had some just terrible reviews but if you take the hotel, food and the location all together then it’s a great centre to explore what is a largely undiscovered area of Wales, hopefully we will see you again soon. More
