During World War I, it served as a Royal Army Medical Corps training camp and hospital, later adopting its current name. The hotel has hosted distinguished guests, including the King of Jordan, whose specially commissioned bathroom remains preserved.Nestled at the foot of the Brecon Beacons, we combine Victorian elegance with modern amenities, offering 60 en-suite rooms, event spaces like the De Winton Suite and Paris Ballroom, and proximity to attractions such as Elan Valley and the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show.

We brought friends for dinner here with high hopes. Unfortunately we were a little disappointed. The bar/ waiter was extremely helpful & friendly. But the restaurant was empty and quiet, no background music & cold. The food was very nice thought. We thought maybe we should have sat in the lounge area but again it was empty & the TV was showing sport.

We booked a night here for my friends wedding and was very impressed by how helpful and thoughtful the lady was when I phoned to book. The stay was fantastic, we had a beautiful, clean and lovely decorated room. A lovely comfortable bed. It had a huge plus from us as it had a proper coffee maker. We didn't eat in as we were at the wedding, but was very impressed with the menu on offer and the food looked amazing. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay. Beth and Will. Xxx

Stayed there for a week. Rooms are very individual and quirky, building has been restored beautifully. Breakfast was good and the staff was attentive. Outdoor seating area could use more supervision and the towels, although clean are not soft.
