Lovely breakfast and very clean and tidy. Great place to stay.
Christine was a great host. We had the suite, we recommend this room, it was beautiful. The town was charming. Thank you Christine for the great stay. From your Cuban friends
A lovely property with great character and comfortable rooms. Very friendly and attentive hosts who provided good local knowledge and advice. Ideal location in Brecon.
Every intention of returning.
A warm welcome from Christine, good communication before arrival.
The room was clean and the bed linen was a good quality.
The breakfast was fresh with lovely local ingredients.
A great weekend away.
Christine was very friendly and made sure we had a great stay. She cooks an amazing English breakfast as that we enjoyed before our trip out of town. The room was very comfortable and has everything you need. There’s lots of great places to eat and a grocery store very close by as well. We fully recommend staying here!
We spent two nights at Ty Helyg and found it very cosy and comfortable. Nicely furnished even to the extent of having quite dark curtains AND a black out blind which in itself, rates highly for me. Very conveniently situated for Brecon town and local area. Free wifi with good reception in our room. Christine and John are a lovely couple, very friendly and helpful couple. We would definitely recommend this B&B.
Our hostess, Christine, was very welcoming. She was a wealth of knowledge of the local area, providing valuable information about parking options. Christine also provided suggestions for our evening meal, with her local being our choice for dinner.
Breakfast was fresh and her poached eggs were awesome. Highly recommended.

The hosts were exceptionally helpful and attentive. Our room was clean and beds were comfortable . Shower room was small but that was no problem .
Only thing I would say is that the breakfast options were not clear . We were only offered hot breakfast and not aware other options were available
