Possibly the oldest coaching inn in Wales, the friendly Kings Arms has its own micro brewery and an excellent restaurant serving tapas and à la carte dishes.

Standing since at least 1400, the inn still has many original features. It was visited by Roundheads, Cavaliers and even King Charles II. The elegant rooms have reasonable rates and a feeling of relaxed luxury.

The Kings Arms is on the edge of the Brecon Beacons and about 40 minutes from Cardiff. Newport, the site of the 2010 Ryder Cup, is 20 minutes away.

The Kings Arms hosts live music and special evenings of jazz, comedy and acoustic music every Friday and Saturday night. There is also an art gallery and a function area.
