Quietly situated within 15 acres of ancient woodland, the YHA Brecon Beacons is in the Brecon Beacons National Park.

This location was stunning, the staff were very helpful and it was just what we needed and better

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location for outdoor activities. Cottage had everything (for self-catering & in living areas) we needed for a great weekend stay.

    Great location near the Brecon Beacons and the nearby reservoirs. Breakfast in the morning was good.

    Budget room, very clean and a stones throw from the Brecon Beacons. Definitely not fancy, room was what was expected. Sibren was awesome to deal with and communication was very good.

    Great location. Lovely pub with a fab host who was really friendly and helpful. Comfy cosy room, extremely clean and tidy place. Nice outside area with a great view of the hills. Food is fabulous. Everyone was friendly helpful and attentive, even though it’s quite a busy place. Chef came out for a few chats, nice guy, happy to do packed lunch and breakfasts for us heading off early and out walking all day. 20mins drive to Pen Y Fan.

    Absolutely nothing. Worst place ever!! Marketing photos are very carefully posed to make room look acceptable, but entire place is a total disgrace. Entry via rubble-strewn back alley. Poorly done conversion from one small flat above shops into 3 very cramped separate rooms. Cheap plasterboard walls. Shoddily painted. A poorly-planned space, constructed by untalented amateurs.
