The Beacons Guest House, Brecon

A Welcoming Guest House in the Heart of Brecon

The Beacons Guest House is a handsome townhouse offering comfortable bed-and-breakfast accommodation right in the centre of Brecon, the historic market town at the gateway to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. Within easy walking distance of the town’s shops, inns and restaurants, yet on the doorstep of some of the finest walking country in Wales, it makes a relaxing and well-placed base for exploring the mountains, the canal and the wider countryside of mid Wales.

Comfortable En-Suite Rooms

The guest house offers a range of comfortable, individually decorated en-suite rooms, from singles and doubles to twin and family rooms, so it suits couples, solo travellers, friends and families alike. Many of the rooms keep the character of the period building, with handsome marble fireplaces, high ceilings and tall sash windows, freshened up with crisp white bedding and welcoming touches. Each room has a television and tea- and coffee-making facilities, and is a quiet, restful place to return to after a day in the hills.

A Hearty Breakfast and a Friendly Welcome

A proper breakfast sets you up for whatever the day holds, whether that is a long mountain walk or a gentle wander along the canal. With a genuinely warm welcome and helpful local knowledge on hand, the Beacons Guest House is the kind of place where you quickly feel at home, and its central position means everything Brecon has to offer is just a short stroll away.

Brecon and the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons)

Brecon is a lively little town with a cathedral, a Saturday market and plenty of independent shops and places to eat, set where the rivers Usk and Honddu meet. It is the natural base for the central Beacons: the high peaks of Pen y Fan and Corn Du, the highest summits in southern Britain, are a short drive away, while the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal offers gentle towpath walks and boat trips right from the town. Golfers are well served by Cradoc and Brecon golf courses nearby, and the surrounding hills are a paradise for walkers, cyclists and pony trekkers.

Exploring Further Afield

There is plenty more to discover across the national park and beyond. The famous “book town” of Hay-on-Wye, with its many bookshops and literary festival, lies to the north-east, while waterfall country around Ystradfellte and the Four Waterfalls walk is within reach to the south-west. The wilder Black Mountains, the reservoirs of the Elan Valley and the towns of Abergavenny and Crickhowell all make rewarding days out, making Brecon a fine touring base in every direction.
