Stopover in Blaenavon What a lovely surprise, overnight stop on returning to the Midlands from watching rugby in Cardiff. Impressive refurbishment of old historic building to create cosy pub/restaurent with rooms. Atmosphere in evening was super, busy, satff very friendly and cask ale excellent. Food was 5 star both in the evening and at breakfast. (I had a very large flat iron sliced sirloin steak with garlic mushroom sauce grilled to perfection and wife a very agreeable cleanly fried fish + chips in evening whilst). All at reasonable price. Room and facilities very clean and comfortable. Visit to "Big Pit" not to be missed and will be back for a longer break to visit the rest of Blaenavon's heritage sites and Brecon Beacons.

Have stayed here before and would happily return. Staff are really helpful and friendly, and the food- we had breakfast and dinner - is tasty and plentiful. The whole place is clean and well-looked after and almost feels out of place in a town as run down as Blaenavon. We love the sauna, a bit of a treat after a long day out. Our only fault with the (twin) room is the shower as it's an over bath one rather than stand up cubicle; tricky for those with long hair. That said, theres a shower by the sauna so we washed our hair fine there instead so wasnt a huge issue.

,the location for visiting the world heritage centre of Blaenavon was good. The inn offered excellent meals. We were traveling without a car which made it a bit complicated to visit other sites. We did manage to visit Raglan Castle in Abervageny.

Nice hotel. Decent size room, good shower and very good breakfast. There is a restaurant and we enjoyed a nice meal. The staff were very helpful and were nice people. The town of Blaenavon is interesting and definitely worth a visit.
