  “Nice little pub and very helpful young lady serving. Most of the food was OK (masses of it). The chilli con carne was lovely, but the mushroom pasta was stodgy and not very pleasant - I think the quality varies from dish to dish. The prices were very good, but I think smaller portions, and more attention to the quality and presentation of some of the dishes is called for. Having said that I think the locals like the place, so maybe we are a bit too fussy!!”

  “We booked to stay the night here. The location was lovely with gorgeous views. We were met with an average welcome and the manager was there straight away with his card machine asking for payment. We had only just walked in! The room was nice and cosy with amazing views but unfortunately there were some issues. - No hand soap in bathroom (basic hygiene) - Only toiletries provided was a tiny bottle of conditioner! - No loo roll holder - No towel holder - Shower holder was broken and shower was arctic cold despite running it for 15 mins to try and warm up The room was clean though with a comfy bed Meal was nice in the evening with polite waitresses serving. When I asked about breakfast the next day, we were told that there wouldn't be any due to Sunday roast prep. This place is advertised as a B&B!!!!! When we left, the owners were just sat on a step smoking away not looking particularly busy with prepping roasts. This place has some positives but overall needs some improving with managers attitude and basic bits in bedrooms.”

  “Decided to call here for food and a drink after a walk down the promenade in Brecon. Excellent food we had the chicken in a mushroom sauce. It was a very hot sunny day so sat outside under the brolley as dogs are not allowed inside which didn’t matter. Anybody in the Brecon area give this little gem a visit you definitely won’t be disappointed!”

  “First time visit to this friendly place for Sunday lunch. Generous portions and my pleasure for gallons of gravy please was met with copious amount on the plate plus an extra gravy boat (as opposed to a thimble!) For the gravy alone they get brownie points. Lovely meal ..will be back. (Good parking too for those folk that can't walk far and absolutely super views!)”

  “Driven past here many times, but never tried it until today. Friendly welcome from whom I think was the landlady. Good selection on the menu, however it was different to what was on the website. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it, which sadly left no room for dessert, so we will be back again to try some. Also great views even on a rainy day!”

  “We stayed one night in this inn. Bar & Restaurant The inn has a welcoming bar with a few local beer options and a restaurant that serves good quality food. Parking & Scenery Parking is sufficient, even on busy days. The surrounding scenery is beautiful. While you can’t really enjoy it from inside the building, there are a couple of benches outside where you can sit with a drink and take in the view. Facilities There are no additional facilities nearby, but the inn itself provides a pleasant and comfortable stay. Rooms The rooms are clean but a little dated. The shower worked well, and the toilet was clean. The floors weren’t spotless or shiny, but still acceptable. Staff The staff were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Price For holiday periods, the price felt slightly higher than what you receive – but this seems to be the case with most places I’ve stayed in Wales.”

  “During our visit to Brecon, we stopped at The Old Ford Inn in Llanhamlach, and it turned out to be one of the loveliest experiences of our trip. The setting itself is beautiful—the inn sits in a charming spot surrounded by the rolling hills and greenery of the Brecon Beacons. From the moment we arrived, there was a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel instantly relaxed. We decided to have dinner there and ordered a rib-eye steak and the gammon. Both dishes were excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavour, and the gammon was just as delicious, hearty, and well-prepared. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and beautifully presented. It felt like real quality pub dining done with care. What made the evening even more special was the staff. Every member of the team we interacted with was genuinely kind, attentive, and friendly without ever being intrusive. They created such a pleasant environment, checking in at the right moments and making sure we had everything we needed. It really added to the overall experience. Between the lovely surroundings, the good food, and the kind hospitality, The Old Ford Inn is the kind of place that makes you want to return. Whether you’re visiting Brecon for a short trip or you’re a local looking for a nice meal out, this inn is well worth a stop. We left feeling full, happy, and very well looked after.”

  “If I could give Maria and her team 10 stars out of 5, I absolutely would. Maria was the most professional, friendly, flexible and extremely accommodating host. Our choir, Cantorion Cyfarthfa, were singing at Peterstone Court today for one of our member’s daughter’s wedding. As soon as I rang Maria to book, she understood completely that we were unsure of timescales etc. We even had to amend our booking and again, she was so kind and accommodating. She actually kept the pub open for the 14 of us! Every single meal was freshly cooked and delivered together. All our meals were homemade, hot and absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were also very generous too. We felt no pressure at all to rush and we actually felt so relaxed there. So we stayed for more drinks and dessert too. So reasonably priced. We chatted to Maria and her staff for quite a while and we have already organised a return booking for later in the year. What a treat and I would 100% highly recommend this little gem with THE most stunning views of the Beacons 🥰 Now to get hubby to bring me for lunch one day 🤞💖”
