Modern and well furnished property at a great price. Check in instructions were precise and clear. I stayed on the top floor and both nights there was a loud hum (sounded like extract fan runs 24/7) though I didn’t take this up with management. I’d stay again. But would probably request a different room due to the noise mentioned.

Handy stay for a Brecon weekend

We enjoyed our stay, found the room to be decorated nicely. It could benefit from more practical storage space such as hooks, bigger wardrobe, better storage, bigger coffee table. It was a shame there was no mini fridge to store our own food items, the tea, coffee and int milk wasn’t a very generous portion considering a 2 people for a 2 night stay. Otherwise, well located, easy to find and convenient car park at the back and lots of pubs and places to eat nearby. I was uncomfortable by the property asking to bank transfer an additional £25 charge for us bring our dog. Whilst I don’t disagree with the charge, I’d have preferred to pay that when booking through a legitimate platform but we were asked to pay when already travelling and didn’t want to object and lose our booking

Our room was beautiful 5* Luxury. We encountered an issue the first night, not the fault of the hotel, however when notified they went out of their way to investigate and resolve the issue. In the interim, they offered us another room and partial refund if we wanted it. Whilst in discussion re: the issue we mentioned we were there for our anniversary and wanted to remain in the executive suite, so when we returned to the room we found a card and chocolates from the hotel staff. 5* service and very thoughtful staff. Highly recommended. Thank you Howfields for a very pleasant stay.

Contemporary lushness

Beautiful room! Very clean, contemporary, sense of luxury and really well thought out! The down is that it’s just a room with en suite- no other facilities- and no lift- But there is a delicious cafe downstairs for breakfast and lots of restaurants/takeaway places locally! Would highly recommend!

Worth going back to Merthyr, just to stay here!

Probably the nicest, best decorated and beautiful room I have stayed in (and I travel for work a lot). Very comfortable, excellent price. Close to the railways station and local restaurants.
