Comfortable bed and the room had two easy chairs.
Good breakfast with freshly cooked hot choice. Plenty of fresh coffee!
Good private parking.
Poor shower - no soap on whb (yes, we could have asked for it but it was only a one night stop). Great bath sheets.
Asked for a quiet room but ours was on the main road and 'cos of listed status, single glazed window made it noisy!

This is a very professionally run family business. Generous breakfast with choices. We loved our top floor room which had a plug in heater and also fan for summer so you could control the temperature of the room.
Parking is on site. Guest house is very close to Brecon town. Some people might walk in - not us! Also there is probably a bus. There was a small, friendly pub just a few doors up the road and we ate there both nights.
We highly recommend Old Castle Farm Guest House and would stay there again.
We liked everything about this guest house.

We went to Brecon for a wake. It suited us fine
Brecon is a lovely place. Lots of independent shops. Well worth a visit. The Saturday market is good with local produce and locally made products.sad occasion made better by our surroundings

We loved everything about Old Castle Farm Guest House, from its location (easy to walk into town), the parking, the warm welcome from staff, the large room with everything we needed (plenty of storage space and hangers), and the fantastic Welsh breakfast! We will most definitely be back!
We loved everything!

Location was great
David, Mandy & family were friendly & helpful. Very attentive, but balanced with giving us space to be private. Couldn’t fault them.
Comfortable bed & quality bedding.

It was a good Guest House, very comfortable and clean. It was only a 10 minute walk into the town. Very good Welsh breakfast. A good area to stay for the Brecon Beacons.
All was good

Very welcoming and communicative hosts, and a good sized room for 3 of us, with kettle and selection of teas/coffees. Whilst I didn't have the full cooked breakfast, my husband and son had that and felt it was 'ok'. I had two perfectly cooked soft boiled eggs, and then some muesli. Others have mentioned yoghurts, but I only saw Muller corners when we were there. Tea and coffee all good. Pleasant atmosphere in the dining room, and we did not wait long for the food at all. Location is also great. Barely a 2 min walk from a fab ice cream parlour (queues out the door), and about 7-8 min walk to the centre of town, and we lucked on the last day of the Jazz music festival, so it was very festive! WiFi good. So much potential to make the most of the obvious age of the house, with its wonky rooms and wooden beams.
Our room (6), a triple room was on the main road, which is very noisy, and the bathroom only has a blind and a plain window looking out onto the road so you have to keep the blind closed. The shower had evidence of mould around the base, and unfortunately, the painted wooden slats on the bathroom door were really dusty from the inside - I wiped them to check it wasn't just old paintwork! The bedroom seemed clean though and the beds were certainly comfortable. Because it was noisy, we couldn't open the window on a hot night. Overall, the whole place looks tired and run down. The shared lounge smells musty and with very old, unappealing furniture. I can't imagine anyone using it! Garden looks like a typical suburban space full of toys/junk. But we only walked through that to get to the car park at the rear, so not sure if it's even available for guests to use. Renewing the stair carpet would probably make a huge difference to the initial impact of the place.

The breakfast was lovely and well done and the staff were very helpful.
The side of the mattress on the beds were really soft and didn’t provide support so had to try and stay in middle of single mattress for fear of falling of the side and lack of plugs for charging phones.

Good location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Couldn't fault it .
Did get lost trying to find the parking at the back of the property, but I think that was our fault 😅

Very warm welcome when we arrived. Large-sized room which was very clean and tidy. The breakfast was good – cereal/yoghurt and fruit followed by full Welsh breakfast. Parked motorcycle in small car park round the back of the Guest House which was well out of sight and safe.
The only power points we could find were on the extension plug behind the television so the room could have benefitted from more easily accessible power points. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great – could do with a boost.

Excellent breakfast! Room had plenty tea/coffee supplies. Nice hot shower, toiletries were supplied too. Beds comfortable and room clean. Excellent value for money, we would stay here again.
There wasn't anything we didn't like. The hotel is converted from a much older building so just a bit quirky but adds to character.

Great hosts. We got there early and they let us check in almost immediately as the room was already ready. They also checked dietary requirements and allergies for our breakfast which was included and this was pretty tasty. Really clean rooms with good towels and well stocked coffee and tea. It was a proper family run guest house.
Nothing the property could do extra really.
