Stayed a couple of nights while visiting the area. Quite easy to find - though the road we were driving in on was closed due to an accident, so had to drive a 25 or so mile diversion to get to it, when we were less than 4 miles. Nice property, with a good restaurant. Room was ok - a bit of a maze. Only niggle was that the floor under the bath was rotting, owing to the bath not being sealed properly at the base - apparent in the breakfast room beneath, as the paper on the ceiling there was starting to peel (something that should be dealt with as a matter of urgency to prevent the bath ending up in the restaurant). There was an odour of chlorine from the swimming pool in the room too, though we did use the pool later on, so not such a nuisance. Staff friendly. Good parking. Bar fine, though surprising they stocked no Welsh beer, neither on pump or in bottles.

Great location, but sadly the room I was given badly needed some TLC. Damaged plaster work around the door, marks on the walls in the room, rusty shower curtain pole, dirty skirting boards and bath panel, bathroom door grubby, cracked plaster on the room walls. The whole room just needed a good re-decoration to bring it up to a suitable standard. On the plus side the food in the restaurant was enjoyable.

Excellent hotel based on 3 night stay

At first I was hesitant about booking to stay at Nant Ddu lodge hotel due to some of the reviews I have read. However upon arrival I was extremely impressed with this hotel, the staff on the reception were super helpful and friendly, the room and bathroom was beautiful, lovely and clean as well as the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was great, great selection of cold foods as well as hot. The hotel is in a fantastic location, only a 5 minute drive from Pen Y Fan and very local to the four waterfall walk which was awesome. The spa was lovely, pool, sauna, steam and jacuzzi was most enjoyable and very clean. Overall super impressed with our 3 night stay and will definitely be returning.

Booked this as a birthday surprise for my daughter. Spa limited, tired, dated, tiles falling off pool and sauna. Hot tub luke warm Limited towels, have to hire robes even when staying You have to book spa facilities but that was not relayed. Really disappointed with the spa in general. The room was average. But the food was amazing.

Worst hotel I've stayed in. Mould. Rude. Noisy.

Oh boy. The room can most generously be described as "spartan." The en-suite was laughable. Warped floor, lino peeling... Not even a real shower enclosure. A grubby shower curtain. That's not even the worst bit. Mould, and plenty of it, all around the shower head. The walls of the room are paper thin. You can hear everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) your neighbours are doing or talking about. Needless to say, that includes the TV. It's honestly like there isn't a wall there at all. Arrived to breakfast, and barked at by a member of staff for sitting at a table not set for breakfast, after being invited to sit "anywhere." Literally, the only difference is that table had a wine glass set on it as opposed to a coffee cup. Breakfast, if you don't want anything cooked, is a selection of supermarket pastries, or a small box of cereal. Topping it off, is checking out. Not even asking how our stay was. Just... "thanks." No "hope you enjoyed your stay." Nothing. How they have the audacity to class themselves as a spa is beyond me. It genuinely felt on par with Fawlty Towers. Without doubt, the worst hotel I've stayed in in the UK.

Thoroughly recommended

In the main all I ask for in a hotel is to be clean and safe. But occasionally I encounter a hotel that deserves praise. We stayed for two nights. The room was large and comfortable. Staff throughout the hotel were efficient and courteous. Breakfast was good, dinner even better. Add complimentary access to the pool, jacuzzi and sauna and the result is amazing value. Thoroughly recommended.

A little tired but comfortable and lovely food

Really late deal for me and my daughter. Staff were all fab, everyone we met was very accomodating. Pool and room were very tired, rotted skirtings and pool tiles lose in pool (my daughter made it a game to collect them). That said, food was amazing and bed very comfy.

Went there for a break over Xmas with family, nice hotel, has lots of potential but in need of updating/modernising. The rooms are large but scruffy. Decent pool and sauna area

Location and staff couldn’t be faulted

We arrived as a last minute stay for a sunrise hike for Pen Y Fan on a winters night. The hotel is a 5 min drive from the national trust car park from where everyone ascends so a perfect location for anyone exploring the Brecons. As with some of the other comments, the hotel was dated and in need of a refresh. The pool facilities were fine, though the hot tub wasn’t bubbling, or overly warm on our stay. However, the hotel staff were superb! They were super friendly, attentive and couldn’t help you enough. We found this with everyone we spoke with. The dinner (chicken and bacon in Stilton sauce) was incredible and the breakfast was a standard buffet continental and a cooked to order dish, all of which was perfect for what we needed. Certainly worth staying if exploring the Brecons for a weekend.
