Editorial
Hotel overview
Built in the 1840s, this historic inn sits quietly across from an old railroad station in the village of Talybont-on-Usk. It combines traditional charm with functional simplicity, offering travelers warm, inviting rooms that focus on comfort without frills.
The pub and beer garden provide a relaxed setting for unwinding after a day of exploring nearby natural highlights like the Brecon Beacons National Park, just a short drive away. Despite the absence of an on-site restaurant or air-conditioning, the inn caters well to guests seeking a peaceful countryside stay.
Guests appreciate the free parking and reliable Wi-Fi, useful for both families and solo adventurers alike. The smoke-free environment and proximity to footpaths encourage a refreshing break surrounded by nature, while welcoming hospitality ensures a hassle-free visit.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“A perfect 3-night stay, thank you Steve & Sam. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Our room was very clean and spacious. The whole property was beautifully presented and smelt wonderful! A real home from home with everything you need on the doorstep. A choice of places to eat within walking distance and access to footpaths for walks along the canal and nearby river. A peaceful setting and motorbike friendly! Thanks again.”
“What a gem of place to stay. Steve and Sam were fab, friendly, super-helpful hosts and the facilities were excellent. Will return soon.”
