Great place to stay in Elan Valley , a good base for exploring the whole area and many dams, very comfortable room, small gift shop. Super friendly hotel staff ,we have heard the Sunday lunches are very good and it's best to book your table early, there is a small cafe on site which sells afternoon teas and cakes which is always a popular break for hikers.
Our host Em was very cheerful and always happy to chat with , great stay , great hotel ,if your in this area find them out it's a great place to stay for a few days
We turned up all muddy having been mountain biking all morning, but we were really welcomed. The staff were friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much bother.
The tuna sandwiches with crisps on the side were very tasty, I'd recommend this venue for sure!
Stopped here for two nights in their ground floor dog friendly room. Spacious bright room with patio doors onto the terrace. Spotlessly clean and although they’re not open for evening meals they can supply a cold platter for the evening which was much more than we could eat. Beautiful and peaceful location especially after 4pm when the cafe closed and day trippers departed. Breakfast was great and even a sausage for our dog.
Service was very good, despite the sign saying pls be patient they were short staffed.
You may want to check they’re open for food before travelling as they don’t appear to be open on their summer opening hours yet.
Highly recommend if you want a quiet location and beautiful walks in the doorstep. We’ll definitely return.
"While touring the surrounding scenery, you can take a break here and enjoy a comfortable lunch. The staff is very friendly, the service is excellent, the place is clean, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. There are also some unique souvenirs. If I have the time next time, I will definitely consider staying here."
Cosy & Comfortable & Spotlessly Clean…
The Breakfast was delicious & plenty of it!
Attentive & polite staff
Highly recommended place to visit & stay
Elan Valley is one of favourite areas to stay, the scenery is stunning & perfect for walking & cycling as there’s many trails to follow.
We would definitely stay here again…
Decent food in a nice spot. Order and pay at reception. Bizarrely. Stopped on my bike half way round a lap of the dams. Fish finger sandwich. 8/10 - Fell apart during eating but was very tasty. Nice chips too. Tea could have done with another teabag. But hey British cafe tea is always too weak.
Stopped here on the way back to Craig Goch Dam. We got some drinks and a Gluten Free Brownie, it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
Beautiful little place we found at Elan Valley. Been 3 times now for food and drinks. Fully enjoyed every time
Stumbled across this place as I was exploring the dams and reservoir. Decided to stop here for a spot of lunch and was well worth it. Its a beautiful, well kept place with friendly staff. And the lunch was just lovely. The friendly chaffinches came and sat by on the nearby fence posts and even on the edges of the table hoping I'd spare some food as I enjoyed the food and good views.
Great spot for lunch & afternoon tea; we’ve tried both. Lovely staff & service, dogs welcome, great place.
