Brecon, Powys
Where Breakfast Becomes an Event
A lovingly restored coaching inn where Welsh warmth and morning glory await in equal measure.
Tucked into the heart of historic Brecon, The Coach House is the kind of place that ruins you for ordinary B&Bs forever. This beautifully restored 19th-century coaching inn has been reimagined as a stylish, contemporary retreat — six immaculately dressed en suite rooms, a secluded garden, and a lounge-library that practically demands you sink into a chair with a good book and forget the outside world entirely. The hosts have thought of every last detail, from the bespoke hospitality trays to the fast WiFi, and the welcome is the sort of genuine, unhurried warmth that no five-star hotel can manufacture.
But let us talk about breakfast, because at The Coach House, it has achieved something close to legendary status. Guests return again and again — some with theatrical warnings about expandable waistbands — for a morning spread that is inventive, freshly prepared, and clearly made with real devotion. This is not a buffet of limp pastries; this is a considered, award-winning culinary event that sets the tone for a day of striding out into the 500 square miles of the Brecon Beacons National Park on your doorstep.
For couples seeking a romantic escape, walkers craving a civilised base between trails, or anyone who simply believes that a great breakfast is the foundation of a great holiday, The Coach House delivers with quiet confidence. Book directly, book early — the rooms fill fast, and once you understand why, you will already be planning your return.

What They Say
“We had a fantastic stay at The Coach House. Kayt and Hugh were incredibly welcoming and informative from the moment we arrived, making us feel completely at home. The rooms were pristine clean and beautifully presented, with a really tasteful, calming aesthetic that made the stay even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely fantastic, clearly prepared with care and quality ingredients. The location is stunning too, perfectly situated around 30 minutes from breathtaking waterfalls and mountain hikes. We would highly recommend staying here and would happily return.”
“We were travelling for an annual weekend with friends,new location every year. Came across the coach house on booking.com and thought it was perfect for our needs. And it certainly didn't disappoint. Kayt is a great host. Breakfast menu very extensive and whatever you decide you will be happy. Delicious. Lovely rooms , very comfortable and warm . Thank you. If we're in the area again we'll be back.”
“I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for my short trip to Brecon. The room was perfect and had more in-room amenities than I have found in most 5 star hotels. From the homemade banana bread, to the lavender pillow mist, the little touches really made it personable. The host Kayt was welcoming and lovely, and the breakfast was probably one of the best I’ve had. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Perfect! We loved our stay from start to finish and wouldn't hesitate to return and recommend. We stayed here for two nights while visiting the Brecon Beacons. It's in an ideal location for hikes and exploring plus only a short walk to restaurants, pubs, shops etc in Brecon town. Kayt is such a lovely host. Warm, friendly and kind - nothing was too much trouble. We felt very well looked after. 😊 The accommodation itself is wonderful. Beautifully decorated with a tasteful, homely feel. It smelt amazing too! Lots of nice touches in the room added to our enjoyment such as the complimentary hot drinks and snacks, sleep spray, robes and more. We stayed in the smallest room but it was more than sufficient for us. I note that another review mentions the road outside - late morning and daytime it could be heard, but it wasn't particularly loud. At night, it was very peaceful. The breakfast was fantastic - an excellent selection including local dishes and quality ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed Welsh rarebit for the first time - we ended up having it both mornings! 10/10. We have stayed at several B&Bs and this was by far the best! We hope we have the opportunity to visit again. Many thanks Kayt and Hugh for a very enjoyable stay.”
“Dear Kayte+Huw, Thank you for always going the extra mile, on our visits back to Brecon. Outstanding bedrooms, food and hospitality. All of your extra efforts and attention to detail make a huge difference and are very much appreciated. The whole family all agreed the Coach House has a lovely, intimate, homely feel. And we will be back again ❤️”
