Situated on the A4067 Swansea to Brecon road, in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park. This warm & friendly, traditional stone built Pub and Restaurant offers a wide, constantly changing, range of real ales and ciders from an eye catching 12 handpumps (less available in winter), plus generous home cooked food. Branch Pub of the Year on numerous occasions.

Plenty of car parking on site, with the bonus of hotel accommodation plus a campsite attached. A large beer garden area includes a pop-up style kitchen and separate bar called Little Briton, which are open in warm weather. It's ideal for campers and walkers and close to the famous Dan yr Ogof show caves and Craig y Nos castle.
