A historic town-centre hotel in Brecon

This is an easy, sociable place to stay in the heart of Brecon. A former house built towards the end of the 17th century, with a front remodelled in early Victorian times, the George has a real sense of its past — it appeared on the town plan of 1834 and has been known as the George Hotel since at least 1888. Today it offers comfortable rooms above a lively bar and dining room, with food served from early morning and a licensed outdoor area to relax in.

Comfortable and central

With accommodation, food and drink all on site, plus free WiFi, step-free access and a central location, the George takes the fuss out of a town break. It is the kind of dependable, good-value base where you can settle in, eat in if you like and head straight out to explore.

Things to do nearby

Brecon is the gateway to the central Brecon Beacons, and there is plenty to explore. The central peaks, crowned by Pen y Fan — the highest mountain in southern Britain — are a short drive away, with miles of walking and cycling across the national park. The lovely Llangorse Lake, the largest natural lake in South Wales, is close by for paddling and sailing, and the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal offers gentle towpath walking and boating right from town. Brecon itself, with its cathedral and famous summer jazz festival, is well worth a wander.

Being able to eat in and walk to everything makes it especially handy for a town-based break or an overnight stop while touring the Beacons.

As a Wetherspoon hotel, the George offers familiar, good-value food and drink downstairs and comfortable rooms above, right in the middle of town.
