This is the first time I've been inclined to write a review about anything, but feel that David and Andrew deserve it. I had a bank holiday stay booked as my birthday treat with my partner to do some kayaking down the river Wye and horse riding in the Black Mountains. Considering everything in terms of our needs, tastes, service,... More

Fantastic stay over May Day Bank Holiday weekend. Crisp, sparkling white sheets. Well-remodeled bathroom with huge bath, mirror, counter space, etc. Fantastic breakfast spread included. Extremely nice innkeepers. Highly recommend this establishment, especially having now seen other larger properties available there.

After a very long hike from Pandy, across what seemed like interminable moorland, The Bear was thankfully just 2 minutes' walk into town and opposite a friendly pub with great local ales. We had Room #1, next to the 'book nook'. Extremely spacious with a gorgeous bathroom and very good bed linen. The strawberry compote at breakfast was so delicious... More

We were made to feel incredibly welcome by David and Andrew, who gave us... More

Have just spent two nights at a brilliant B&B. One night in Room 1 (Dbl at front) and 1 night in Room 2 (twin at rear) - both beautifully furnished and decorated and very comfortable. David is a superb host - and met us with a welcome smile, pot of tea and log burning stove. Breakfasts are in a superb... More

The walking a real pleasure with David's knowledge of the local area, maps and guidebooks available as a bonus . The B & B is run with... More
