Xmas family break
Went there for a break over Xmas with family, nice hotel, has lots of potential but in need of updating/modernising. The rooms are large but scruffy. Decent pool and sauna area

Location and staff couldn’t be faulted
We arrived as a last minute stay for a sunrise hike for Pen Y Fan on a winters night. The hotel is a 5 min drive from the national trust car park from where everyone ascends so a perfect location for anyone exploring the Brecons.
As with some of the other comments, the hotel was dated and in need of a refresh. The pool facilities were fine, though the hot tub wasn’t bubbling, or overly warm on our stay. However, the hotel staff were superb! They were super friendly, attentive and couldn’t help you enough. We found this with everyone we spoke with. The dinner (chicken and bacon in Stilton sauce) was incredible and the breakfast was a standard buffet continental and a cooked to order dish, all of which was perfect for what we needed.
Certainly worth staying if exploring the Brecons for a weekend.

Good place to stay
Overall a nice place to stay as near Brecon Beacons, the gym, spa and pool a bonus. Breakfast fab, the evening meal I had venison and only 2 small pieces, which was overcooked and expensive but otherwise all good….

We keep going back.
Always love going to the Nant Ddu Lodge.
Staff are amazing and the food is very good too.
Bit disappointed with the beds this time, maybe time to change a few mattresses?
But overall an excellent stay as usual.
This is why we keep going back

Lovely stay in the Brecons
Lovely location, great to have the spa and restaurant onsite. Food was delicious - evening and breakfast. Spa was a nice extra (pool, sauna, steam room, lukewarm jacuzzi) but glad we didn't have to pay as it is a bit tired. All in all a very nice stay and perfect location for Pen y Fan

Lovely hotel and spa . Friendly staff and great breakfast . My only negative was that on check in asked if we could book a table for dinner , advised fully booked so asked about a taxi to go and eat else where . Luckily popped into bar for a drink and told that we could eat the same menu in the bar . Feel this was important info to be given on check in !! We did eat in the bar and food was fab .

We were disappointed that the master suite accommodation we had booked for our wedding anniversary was nothing like the rooms advertised. Filthy windows, cigarette ends in the balcony, a broken TV, rusty fridge (with some out of date contents left in there), mouldy grout in the bathroom and a broken shower heat dial which only allowed scorching water too hot to stand under.
The spa facilities had broken tiles, dirty drains and rusty pipes and the outside of the property looked run down with peeling paint.
The staff were lovely and helpful and we enjoyed the meals so we can't understand why other aspects were so poor.
We also highlighted some issues to the receptionist when we were there as well as writing to them since but we have not received a reply. We feel naive in thinking issues raised previously would have been dealt with - we'd have thought customer satisfaction would be vital in this industry so why would you not address them?
I would not usually publicly leave a review like this but I wouldn't want others to be frustrated and feel cheated like we did because not enough people stated the reality.

Nant Ddu Lodge was a lovely relaxing place to stay, staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was lovely we had breakfast within the price our stay which had both continental and cooked along side fruit and cereals to choose from, we also had evening meal in the restaurant which I could not fault. The swimming pool was a lovey place to chill after a day of exploring.
Will definitely be returning again.
