A very well thought out and planned walking holiday with a variety of accommodation. We loved it and had fantastic weather - not a drop of rain. We did Blorenge at Abergavenny, Table Mountain At Crickhowell (possibly our favourite) and which made up our minds not to do Pen y Fan so we could do the other walk on the last day and visit the waterfalls which were delightful. For eating outside of included dinners we would recommend The Hop In Gin and Beer in Brecon. Small plates, homemade British cooking and quirky venue. Also had excellent lunch at The Royal Oak, Pencelli in their canalside garden on the walk from Crickhowell to Brecon. The breakfasts at The Coach House were brilliant with a huge choice. A mention for Crickhowell Taxis - that all worked superbly and we booked them to transfer us back from Brecon to collect our car at Abergavenny which was well worth it.
This was another wonderful Inntravel trip. The hiking was great--very varied and interesting and generally not difficult for us, though most days, we walked more distance than the route suggested. We loved the people, the food, the lack of crowds, the perfect weather which we were so lucky to have. Our train travel was totally smooth, no problems at all. We can't wait to do another trip with you; it will be our 5th one, and they have all been great. You make the traveling very easy without leading us around in a group, which we don't enjoy. Inntravel has been a perfect fit for us.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our The Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia: from Sea to Summit walking holidays
We thoroughly enjoyed our Welsh holiday with its combination of attractive countryside, fascinating industrial heritage and interesting small towns. It's hard to believe that the comfortable Bear hotel is almost 600 years old, but the history of the area made this walking trip memorable. Highlights included April wild flowers, ancient rocky paths lined with knarled old trees and the Coach House breakfasts.

Another excellent Inntravel holiday. We were pleased we had booked an extra night in Abergavenny as it enabled us to do both walks and explore Abergavenny which had amazing features. Don't miss the tapestry in the Tithe Barn, especially if you can get someone to provide the history of its making. Also the Jesse effigy in St Mary's Priory (again, a fascinating explanation freely provided by a local guide). For eating out we fully recommend The Gaff (restaurant not cafe); stunning food. The walks were a good mixture of peaceful canal and fields and more challenging hills. Great industrial history was evident everywhere. We did not climb Pen-y-Fan as it was raining but the alternative walk was one of the best and the sun was shining by the time we ate lunch at the "secret waterfall" in perfect isolation and tranquillity. Note that when we visited both the White Hart Inn and the Star Inn mentioned in Day 4's walk were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
It was a great 5 days of walking with a good mix of hill walks and canal walking. We especially enjoyed the hike up Corn Du and Pen y Fan from the Storey Arms, even though visibility was limited.
The Table Mountain walk was superb and gorgeous. And both the Angel and The Bear were excellent places to stay, as regards both accommodation and food and service
Very good UK walk. Fabulous weather for second week of October in beautiful part of UK. Well done Inntravel on providing more UK based options.
We were blessed with dry weather for this holiday. Each day's walk had plenty of variety with easy canal-side walking and some elevated stretches to achieve fine views of the surrounding coutryside. The highlight of the trip was Pen y Fan where the views over the the neighbouring mountains and valleys were stunning. The descent on a long ridge towards Brecon was particulalry rewarding. Tips: wise to book restaurants in advance particularly at weekends and check on closing days.
A lovely holiday, even in the most persistent rain, including outstanding hotels and memorably good food. The canal walking is hypnotically beautiful, the countryside around is gorgeous, and the Beacons are a splendid, majestic contrast. The opportunity to eat at the Walnut Tree is not to be missed.
We not familiar with South Wales and found this holiday provided us with truly enjoyable experience that helped us appreciate how beautiful this part of the country is. At each of the locations where we stayed the staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful and really added to our enjoyment. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Definite highlight was the tranquility of the canal sections. Also The Bear was outstanding as a stopover hotel.
Great views and nice mix of canal and hill walking.
The whole walk was very enjoyable but the highlight was probably ascending Pen y Fan in clear dry sunny weather then on the descent having a very close view of a red kite.
Expertly put together, we were impressed at the comprehensive planning and organisation of the trip that ran like clockwork whilst away. The accommodation and transfers were all at a very high standard in every respect. We only did some of the sugegsted walks, chosing to walk our own routes mostly, but those offered were well thought out and were supported by the OS maps and excellent route notes provided
Generally good. Worth highlightling also the Herbert Chapel in St Mary's Abergavenny which has one of the largest number of medieval effigies in the UK (Thats why it called the Westmisnster Abbey of Wales)
A lovely holiday in the Brecon Beacons. We booked it because its an area that we had never tried before and were not disappointed. There is a good mixture of walks along canals and up hills and we thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. The hotels were good and all three locations deserve further exploration so we shall definitely return.
Another enjoyable holiday with Inntravel. As always all the arrangements worked well. We were glad we followed Inntravel's advice and booked our evening meals in advance - restaurants were busy and some were closed on Sundays and Mondays.
We were blessed with glorious weather which really helped but the hotels were good, scenery lovely and walking just about right. A very enjoyable break.
The holiday was superb. Not having done an Inntravel holiday before we weren't quite sure what to expect. We loved the combination of having two nights in each place, walking every day, and having our luggage transferred! The organisation was excellent and we felt very confident with all the arrangements. We will definitely book another holiday with Inntravel.
A most enjoyable walking holiday in a lovely part of the world. Lovely soothing stretches along the quiet towpaths, and then venturing up into the neighbouring hills each day. A perfect balance. We had great weather the whole week with only Pen y Fan being completely misted out such that we could hardly see a path and, as a result, took the wrong trail down from the wrong place! Nonetheless, once we descended from the clouds the walk and views were still wonderful. Note: don't follow the crowd as we did, but read and reread the notes again (map was no use as we couldn't see in front of us to locate anything!).
Each of the hotels were superb, as were the very generous breakfasts and included meals. Extremely friendly, helpful hoteliers and lovely rooms.
Tip: Given the times we are in at the moment (and that it was the last week of school holidays), we booked restaurants for each night. In our view, the best were at the Hotels themselves (with the exception of Brecon where the accommodation is B&B only), and so we ate at both 2 nights running at the first 2 hotels. We booked Gurka Corner in Brecon a good few weeks ahead, but on the night were "bumped" and so ate at Zeera, an Indian in town, with which we were very happy.
There is a bakery in Brecon where we bought our picnic lunch for the last day. They have pre-made sandwiches, quiches, pasties etc, and will make up sandwiches to order. It is the same in Crickhowell.
Most excellent walking country. The canalside transfer walks were particularly delightful with a lush abundance of greenery, flowers and wildlife coupled with the remains of the industrial heritage of the area. All of the towns were well worth exploring in their own right.
Tips: We were unble to visit the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh as our day in Brecon was a Sunday when it is closed. Apart from the Wetherspoons pub it seemed that all restaurants in Brecon were fully booked on Saturday night. It may be advisable to book in advance.
