Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Wellington enjoys a fabulous location right in the center of Brecon, next to the bus stop for Brecon Beacons National Park. Guests often find the rooms clean and comfortable, with good tea and coffee supplies, and some appreciate the presence of a fan, TV, and a long mirror. The breakfast is generally considered good value, though some have noted issues with the food preparation at other times. The hotel's courtyard is a perfect spot on a sunny day.

signature sharer quick service accessible access mouldy seal stained floor bath taps

I enjoyed the signature sharer meal option at the pub. The chef seems to put time and effort into each dish. Starters and mains arrived quickly, I was not kept waiting. The pub itself is clean and has accessible access.

The bathroom needed some attention. I saw mould on the seal around the bath, bath taps did not work. There was hair all over the floor, the floor was stained. I noticed mould on the ceiling in the bathroom.
