Very expensive for what you actually get. Whilst the two rooms we hired were very clean and had all the usual complimentary gifts including fresh milk, this is where the positives finish. Neither room had showers and we had to make do with mixer taps. There was nowhere to hang used towels and the beds were extremely uncomfortable with tired old mattresses. Car parking was extremely tight with very little space for each vehicle. This could have been alleviated by allowing cars to park opposite but for some reason there were 'no parking' signs preventing this. There was no breakfast on offer and the only time we saw our (friendly) host was on arrival even though we were there for two nights, with us being asked to leave our keys on the desk when vacating the premises for the final time.

Read moreBrilliant pub / B&B!!!!!!!
You couldn't ask for more from this lovely country pub. The new owners have really done a huge amount of work to improve the cosmetics of the pub, they're also lovely people who can't do enough for you during your visit. The food is freshly cooked daily & delicious and the portion sizes are very generous. The bar keeps a great offering of tap ales' and cider & is a lovely old room full of character and charm, the fireplace is also beautiful for the cooler days & nights of the year. Crucially this is a B&B, which means it's also someones home, it isn't a hotel and shouldn't be thought of as one! Instead it's a lovely relaxing B&B which offers a great breakfast and evening meal for its guests. The rooms were very clean and well presented.
The Usk Inn is a perfect stopping point for walking / cycling or outdoor activities in and around the central Brecon beacons & the black mountains.
I would definitely return & recommend to anyone and wish the new owners the very best of luck with...
