Dogs accompany diners in Patti Bar instead of main dining room. Evening meals on all our Selected Opening Dates.
"The food was excellent. There was a good choice at breakfast. The food was plentiful, hot, well presented and delicious. The evening meal was also of a high standard. Again, there was a great choice on the set menu. The steak was cooked just as I liked it. The chips were to die for and the pudding heavenly."
The day's menu normally has 5 choices of each course. See sample Evening Bar Meals menu here (menu on day will vary).

The food ... was delicious and presented beautifully, and there was a good selection the evening before which was also delicious. Allergies and other dietry requirements were well catered for which was very much appreciated.
Nicolini Lounge
A Dog Friendly Reception Room
Ample seating on leather chesterfield sofas.
Views over Brecon Beacons Country Park from bay window.
Large log burner provides homely warmth in the winter months.
This room was formerly the Library, in the days of Adelina Patti - see below 100 years ago.
It was the office of her second Husband, Nicolini, hence its name - the Nicolini Room.
It had fallen into disrepair as a little used bar area
We found floors and ceiling were rotten so it had a major overhaul and rebuild.
