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. ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Old Rectory Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crickhowell-Hotels-The-Old-Rectory-Country-Hotel.h20487392.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Lion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-White-Lion.h83265737.Hotel-Information) > - [The Manian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilgetty-Hotels-Manian-Lodge.h36895815.Hotel-Information) > - [Seiont Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Seiont-Manor-Hotel.h486288.Hotel-Information) > - [The Carlton Hotel Mumbles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-The-Carlton-Hotel-Mumbles.h46091627.Hotel-Information) > - [Romantic retreat, pet friendly, stunning views, log burner, walks from the door.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blaenau-Ffestiniog-Hotels-Cae-Canol-Bach.h58278144.Hotel-Information) > - [Caer Beris Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Builth-Wells-Hotels-Caer-Beris-Manor.h45360994.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lemon Tree - Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wrexham-Hotels-The-Lemon-Tree-Hotel.h1223186.Hotel-Information) > - [The George IV Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swansea-Hotels-The-George-IV-Inn.h49099040.Hotel-Information) > - [Elm Escapes - Oak Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knighton-Hotels-Elm-Escapes-Oak-Lodge.h68112930.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ashburnham Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burry-Port-Hotels-Ashburnham-Hotel.h1381479.Hotel-Information) > - [Caravan to rent trecco bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Caravan-To-Rent-Trecco-Bay.h40005587.Hotel-Information) > - [Llanerch Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Llanerch-Vineyard-Hotel.h5705762.Hotel-Information) > - [Springfield Hotel & Health Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holywell-Hotels-Springfield-Hotel-And-Restaurant.h1769633.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lion Hotel & Restaurant Berriew](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welshpool-Hotels-The-Lion-Hotel-Restaurant-Berriew.h44400552.Hotel-Information) > - [Ty Newydd Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdare-Hotels-Ty-Newydd-Country-Hotel.h54295966.Hotel-Information) > - [Tawny Lodge - 1 Bedroom - Blossom Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-Tawny-Lodge-1-Bedroom-Blossom-Farm.h83746860.Hotel-Information) > - [The Gatehouse (Seal and Porpoise)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardigan-Hotels-The-Gatehouse.h33040598.Hotel-Information) > - [Wide Horizons 2](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-Wide-Horizons-2.h49831135.Hotel-Information) > - [The Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cemaes-Bay-Hotels-The-Harbour-Hotel.h31347455.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cliff Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardigan-Hotels-The-Cliff-Hotel-Spa.h11900793.Hotel-Information) > - [Gazelle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Menai-Bridge-Hotels-Gazelle-Hotel.h35285692.Hotel-Information) > - [Vale Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Vale-Resort.h1057564.Hotel-Information) > - [The Coed-Y-Mwstwr Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-The-Coed-Y-Mwstwr-Hotel.h3717304.Hotel-Information) > - [Penally Abbey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-Penally-Abbey-Hotel.h48710719.Hotel-Information) > - [Court Colman Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Court-Colman-Manor.h3551641.Hotel-Information) > - [Tiger Inn Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Merthyr-Tydfil-Hotels-Tiger-Inn-Hotel.h95246230.Hotel-Information) > - [Tŷ Magor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Hotels-Ty-Hotel.h3928584.Hotel-Information) > - [The West Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llangollen-Hotels-The-West-Arms.h23686739.Hotel-Information) ---
