"Cracking pub set on the foothills of the Brecon Beacons."
"Amazing customer service and a very friendly welcoming vibe throughout the whole of our experience."
"The beer garden isn't huge, but is big enough to fit many people due to the large picnic benches with umbrellas."
Cons:
"I sense this pub doesnβt have to wow because of its location. Iβd love to say otherwise, I just canβt recommend the food."
"Used to be a lovely relaxed atmosphere here, but today the music was too loud and gave the atmosphere of a town pub."

"The ladies toilets were unlit, the locks on the cubicles did not work."
"Not the nicest place - grotty and dirty looking. Tables were really sticky."
