Christine looks after us every year when we visit for the Fan Dance Test. The place is always spotless, and she cooks a fantastic breakfast to set us up for the day. There’s also free parking, which is a real bonus. Christine is incredibly kind and helpful, and this is truly a great place to stay. Step outside and you’re right in the heart of Brecon, with bars and restaurants just on your doorstep. Thank you, Christine – we’ll definitely be back!

Well situated for Brecon, the canal and the theatre. We were given lots of help and advice about our stay. The beds are comfortable and the rooms well laid out. Breakfast was very tasty and lots of it too. There is limited parking right outside but the guest house has an arrangement with the theatre carpark round the corner which we found more than satisfactory. Being an old building there are changes in level throughout upstairs which we did not find to be an issue. The guest house has a comfortable guest lounge with honesty bar and coffee machine - a definite plus.

Good points. Host Christine was very welcoming. House was characterful, and very clean. Cooked breakfast was nice, and well cooked. Bed was really comfortable, room was nice. Fresh milk in fridge on landing. House is very well positioned, - short walk to town centre, and bus stand. Disappointments. First and foremost, no hot water in room. Ran tap for more than a minute, but stopped because I did not want to waste water. I had to go out shortly after arriving, assuming that it would be OK by morning, but it wasn't. Mentioned this to Christine at breakfast. No wardrobe in room, which I found surprising. Room was on second floor, OK for me, but some might struggle with the stairs. No cereals with the cooked breakfast. TV picture constantly breaking up. Front door was shut, and door bell not working, so I had to phone to announce arrival. Turned out the door was not locked. Overall, it met my needs for the night, save the water situation. Struck me as a little expensive, taking everything into account.

Excellent pre-arrival communications and greeting when we got there. Efficient check-in, briefing and explanations. Checked where we had parked (to make sure safe from fines), discussed breakfast options and that we had booked somewhere for dinner as can be tricky in town when busy. Room clean and comfortable, had all we needed… good night’s sleep in comfortable bed. Guest house is on a main road but no real issue or disturbance with traffic noise. Breakfast was prepared and served nicely… met our needs (slice of lemon for smoked salmon produced almost immediately when requested) good quality ingredients and decent portion size. A very pleasant stay… and would return if in the area. Maybe worth mentioning that this is an old building with no lift. We were on the second floor which was fine for us but someone with mobility problems would probably struggle on the fairly steep and narrow stairs to that floor… worth asking for a room on a lower floor.

We had a lovely stay at the Ty Helyg. Christine was a wonderful host, breakfasts were delicious, great vegetarian options, and she was also accommodating for all our needs. I would definitely go again! The beds were also very comfortable, we slept so well. Brecon is a lovely little town, and the Pen y fan hike is really worth it, the views are just breathtaking. We also did horseback riding at the Cantref riding center, it was so fun! Everything was in walking distance of the bed and breakfast. I would recommend!

This was our second stay at Ty Helyg. It is a comfortable place to stay and very convenient for the restaurants and pubs in Brecon town centre, plus it is central to lots of fantastic walks in the surrounding countryside. Christine is a great host and full of useful local knowledge. Also, very importantly, the breakfasts are excellent. You definitely need a good walk after eating breakfast here. We will definitely return again.
