The Brigands Inn

What guests think

Travellers describe Brigands Inn as a historic, characterful stay with very friendly staff, excellent breakfasts and dinners, comfortable rooms, and a scenic location for exploring mid-Wales, while noting occasional old-building quirks, warm attic rooms, and some maintenance niggles.

Cleanliness and upkeep are mostly praised, though a few guests mention dated decor, a damp patch, a shower needing an update, or a one-off hot water outage that was promptly resolved. On-site parking is mentioned, and some report a quiet setting with minimal road noise. Best for travelers who value history and comfort over modern gloss.

Loved it. Room was adequate (once you’ve got used to all the creaks and bumps). This is a 16th century building in all its glory. Food was plentiful, well cooked and hot. Although our room over looked an island there was no problem with road noise. There was plenty of parking front and rear. Cannot sing it’s praises enough, in fact we’ll be going back just as soon as we can. Loved it!

Staff very welcoming but overall it’s disappointing. Far too expensive for the type of accommodation. Initial impression meeting guests is that it is dishevelled and messy. It’s an old building so the bedroom floor is all off the level . The room was very poor with a big patch of wallpaper covering a damp wall. Food was poor enough for the price. The rating isn’t reflective of the property.

Beautifull venue, great and very friendly personell. Great room. One minor point, we had a room in the attic and with 30+ and only a ventilator is was very very hot for a long time into the night. But that is the only minor point the staff made up for it in friendlyness and service.
