"A very well presented and convenient hotel for Hay on Wye and the surrounding areas. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The room itself was comfortable and finished to a high standard. Would be perfect for couples or solo travellers wanting to explore the local area. Will definitely be back."

"I was going to visit the Brecon Mountain Railway and I needed somewhere close by to stay for the night. Luckily, I chose the Butchers Arms. The room was lovely and clean and the bed very comfortable. The food was filling and tasty and I had breakfast looking across to the start of the Brecon Beacons. The beer was wonderful especially the Butty Bach (little friend in Welsh). "

"A really lovely stay and a great warm bath, a little noise from from the town centre on a Saturday night so suggest a room on the other side if you sleep with the window open. Lovely helpful staff, and a great breakfast."
"Me and my partner stayed for his birthday and had a nice time,, but I’d be weary if you have additional needs.
When we went to eat in the bar for dinner there was a live band playing. I have multiple disabilities that affect my sensory processing (autism, adhd and dcd) and I was unable to go in the restaurant or bar with my ear defenders because of the noise. My partner even said he found it too loud - you could hear it in the corridors! This was only one day but the staff let me know it’s every Wednesday and Friday so that is something to keep in mind when booking if you struggle. We ordered room service instead which was handy but the £8 fee for delivery was frustrating because I’m not able to help being sensitive to noise and I couldn’t find any information online and I feel it is helpful to let customers know before hand.
We also had multiple questionable stains on the sides of the chairs and one lightbulb was hanging out of the light fixture above the bed, we notified reception and was told someone would be sent down shortly due to it being a safety hazard, but no one came. This left me on edge for the whole two days as I was expecting someone to arrive any minute.
The amenities were lovely and we had a good time overall and would stay again,, just not on a Wednesday or Friday."
"Lovely Hotel.Reception staff were very helpful. I had a superior double room well worth the extra cost. Had a lovely ploughmans and sticky toffee pudding for lunch in bar area,really enjoyable.Nice patio outside for evening drinks!!!Breakfast was excellent set in a beautiful dining room,service was excellent especially from sue who went out her way to make it enjoyable!This was my first visit to the Castle Hotel of Brecon and it won't be my last!!"
"A tired but welcoming establishment.Riom was basic with a faulty bathroom tap but clean. Staff were great and the bar downstairs was excellent. A 7-8 minute drive to the Hay Literature Festival so a great lower budget option"
"We returned for our 2nd wedding anniversary and had an amazing stay. The staff were friendly and extremely accommodating. We had our two dogs with us who were treated as well as we were if not better! Breakfast had ample options and staff could not be more helpful. A relaxing atmosphere with beautiful views. We can’t wait to go back."
