The Tanners Arms - A CAMRA award-winning inn with homemade meals and a log-fire restaurant

The Tanners Arms is set in the Northern foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Defynnog, featuring en-suite rooms with original 18th-century vaulted ceilings and Welsh slate windows. Each room includes a 32-inch flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, and complimentary toiletries. The Tannery Restaurant offers homemade meals, a log fire, and views of the River Senni and Brecon Beacons, while the bar provides free Wi-Fi, board games, and darts. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily, and the south-facing beer garden is available for relaxation. The hotel is 15 minutes from Brecon and 40 minutes from Abergavenny, with free parking and proximity to landmarks like Trecastle Antique Centre (5 km). The Tanners Arms also accommodates group events, including pre-wedding parties.

Pros

The CAMRA award-winning inn offers homemade meals and a cozy log-fire restaurant.

The en-suite rooms retain 18th-century character with vaulted ceilings and original Welsh slate windows.

A complimentary full breakfast is served daily, and free Wi-Fi is available in the bar.

The south-facing beer garden and sports area with board games and darts provide leisure options.

The property is well-located for exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park and nearby landmarks.

Cons

The nearest major airport (Cardiff) is 62 km away, requiring a longer transfer.

Limited dining variety beyond traditional homemade meals, though pizza options are available.

“The Tanners Arms strikes a comfortable balance, appealing to those exploring nearby Corn Du and Pen y Fan. With a cosy pub atmosphere and reports of delicious, home-cooked meals-including gluten-free options-it stands out for both convenience and warm hospitality. I think it's a particularly suitable spot for hikers and anyone seeking a relaxed, rural retreat.”
