1. The Tiger Inn

What a gem!
Reviewed By TommySangersMy family and I had been to Treharris in the morning and came to Merthyr Tydfil in search of somewhere to eat. Thankfully we found The Tiger Inn. What a find. A gem of a place! Seek this spot out. Go out of your way for it. It’s worth it. The staff are so nice and the lady in charge is a ray of sunshine! So friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. If having wonderful staff is not reason enough to seek it out then the food certainly is. There was so much I wanted to try but in the end went with a traditionally Welsh lamb cawl. Spot on. Served with a chunk of bread and a wedge of cheese plus real butter. Just what I needed. We also shared the camembert loaf - one of the best things I’ve eaten in yonks! I live in Somerset UK bit would travel here again just for that! You won’t regret a trip here - check this place out.

Comfortable
Reviewed By GinaBeesBasic, but comfortable. No hairdryer though. Very clean and tidy. The room we had was quite large. A comfy chair would have been nice as I do not like sitting in bed watching TV in evening. Could also do with bigger bedside shelf, and USB sockets

A beautiful place to stay!
Reviewed By John SOur family of 6 stayed in Cottage 1 last week and I can’t praise the whole experience too highly. Our hosts Kath and Mike, together with all the rest of the staff, couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. My wife Joan was born in the area and her brother lives nearby so the rapport was instant! The cottage was warm and comfortable and was well provisioned when we arrived. Breakfast was first class with plenty of choice. There was plenty of parking and you’re in easy walking distance of 2 pubs. Thank you for a lovely stay! Joan & John

Great place, definitely recommend
Reviewed By samanthalH8073DLOn a one night business stay. Received a lovely welcome and room was spotlessly clean and very well presented. Had a good bar meal that evening and then an amazing breakfast the next morning. Couldn’t ask for anything more, definitely recommend.

The Grange is a relaxed boutique 5 bedroom guesthouse in the quiet village of Cefn-Coed-y-Cymmer on the edge of Merthyr Tydfil and the Brecon Beacons National Park. This beautiful 120 year old property is your home from home for outdoor sports (especially cycling) and exploring the stunning scenery of South Wales
Excellent bike friendly B&B
Reviewed By TobyAnscombeMy daughter and I stayed for a weekend so we could hit Bike Park Wales. Nikki and Gethin’s hospitality really is second to none; very accommodating and the attention to detail was stupendous! We stayed in the (red) family room which was well kitted out and included muscle-relaxing shower gel (its like they knew that I would be suffering on Sunday!). Beds were super-comfy and the room was equipped with a decent TV and all the apps etc. Breakfast was pre-ordered to make life easier; a very tasty bacon sandwich and toast, as well as juice and much coffee. The recommendations on where to eat in the evening was spot on (Thai in Brecon) as was the suggestion of a nice short-cut walk to the waterfalls in the area. We didn't need it but there is secure bike storage should you bring your own. 100% will be back - there is a promise of chili chocolate so y'know.. highly recommended as a base to explore the area on foot or by bike

Well decorated quiet room
Reviewed By joshbee2055The room was well decorated clean and well presented as shown in the photos. We received good communication with the provider who also recommended lots of local restaurants and provided tips on climbing Pen Y Fan. Based on the recommendations we had a well planned trip and enjoyed meals at the tea room and local restaurant as suggested. Pricing was fair and this was close enough to easily access Pen Y Fan although there wasn’t too much too do in Merthyr itself.

Spotlessly clean, beautiful decor and helpful hosts - location not ideal for us
Reviewed By Ailurophile1We stayed at Glenthorne for two nights recently we had a double room with an ensuite which was beautifully decorated, it was spotlessly clean and although we didn't meet the hosts due to covid Claire was available via text to give recommendations. Genthorne is a very quiet house we hardly heard a noise during out stay. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had high quality toiltries and there was complimentary welsh cakes, milk and water in the room which was a really nice welcoming touch. We stayed here to hike up Pen Y Fan and it was an ideal location in terms of distance its around a 20 minute drive and although we made the most of our stay I wouldn't be in a rush to return to this area of Wales. The Reasons I have given the review very good instead of excellent are as follows When booking the room I was made aware that there was no parking but it stated that the parking on the road was unrestricted however we did find that the cul de sac was too busy to park in and the next road had quiet a bit of double yellows and dipped curves which made it difficult. We did struggle to park nearby but eventually found parking on the road but given the area and the busy road it wasn't ideal. The town itself is very run down as we drove through the centre to look for a nice place to have a couple of drinks or some food we where shocked at the atmosphere in the town there was bouncers on all the pub doors and lots of drunk people falling in and out of pubs. Coming from Birmingham it takes a lot for me to consider somewhere unsafe or even unpleasant but we actually stayed in both nights because the local pubs looked so rough. I would say if you are looking for a nice base to stay and stay in on an evening and chill out in your room this place is ideal but if you are hoping to go to a nice area, with nice cafes, restraunts pubs etc I wouldn't recommend. The location really put a dampener on our weekend away and I wish I had realised how run down the local area was before learning the hard was and having a disappointing weekend compared to what I had in mind.
9. Arfryn House Bed and Breakfast
Overall Ratings

Small and friendly bed and breakfast giving a homely, relaxing and comfortable feel in a stunning but convenient location.Situated in the Brecon Beacons National Park. You can enjoy the countryside from the doorstep. Ideal for walking and easy access onto Pen y Fan. Llwyn Onn reservoir is situated just across the road for a leisurely stroll or fishing. A great area for cycling with The Taff Trail and Bike Park Wales close by. Arfryn House is situated on the A470 giving easy access to Cardiff and Swansea.
Delightful short stay
Reviewed By tashfeen14We stayed for three nights to celebrate my birthday and explore Brecon Beacons National park. It was a wonderful stay, made even better thanks to Alun and Sally who run the place Location: Extremely convenient, right on A470. There is a secure parking spot if you drove. If you are arriving after dark and from Cardiff, you need to be a bit careful as you may easily miss the house and there are no streetlights. Room: A very nice, clean room with very comfortable bed. The bathroom is also very well appointed and clean. There is a small seating area within the room overlooking the vegetable patch and a hill side with a small waterfall. There is a fridge, tea/coffee, cookies and fresh milk...all provided free of cost. Breakfast: yummy breakfast, delightfully cooked fresh to order by Sally. Alun also contributes with his yoghurt berry compote. Even better is the conversations my wife and I had with Alun and Sally. We ended up having one hour long breakfast thanks to the conversation. Helpfulness: Alun is a wonderful ambassador of the area. He showed us the way to the four trails waterfall and the devil's staircase...both of them were spectacular. He even let me borrow his walking shoes when he realised I don't have the right shoes! Very kind and gracious of both of them If you want to go for a quiet break and there are only two of you, I will recommend this B&B any day. I wish them all the success. Thank you for having us.

Beautiful Wales
Reviewed By Wendy MLovely bed and breakfast. It was spotlessly clean, our room was very spacious with a fantastic view. The breakfasts were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts - Ann and John, they arranged taxis for us and gave us lots of tips of places to visit and eat.
