2 Best Hotels in Brecon, Wales

This former coach house in the center of Brecon has been converted into a luxurious place to stay, and the friendly hosts—a wealth of information about the local area—can arrange transport to and from the best walking paths in the Beacons. Rooms are named after Welsh historical figures; Brychan, the suite, has a rolltop bath plus robes and slippers. Inventive Welsh breakfasts, such as scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and laverbread, are served in the bright dining room; there are also several options for vegans and vegetarians.

In the 17th century Felin Glais was a barn; today it provides spacious and comfortable accommodations but still hasn't lost its ancient character. Breakfast is great, with the meat and eggs coming from local producers. The owners will also provide packed lunches for hikers (£10). The inn is in Abersycir, 3 miles west of Brecon.
