We recently stopped here a phew weeks ago, and I must say it was truly amazing! We were greeted by a young woman who was very polite and welcoming, the room was fabulous, nice decor well furnished, plenty of light coming in through the two large windows in the bedroom that over looked the A470. The food was superb, I... More

I have been here before and yet again it failed to reach expectations. The food was edible but nothing special. No vegetables served and the chips that were served came overcooked and form hard bits of starch. The pretentious extra charge for bread was removed as it was raw and inedible. Desserts were received well. Staff friendly but overall not... More

I wish I had read a previous review as we had a weirdly similar experience. I ordered the lamb special from the board; my husband had the special burger. The previous review is right - he got a soggy mush which had soaked into the bun meaning he couldn't eat it, so just ate the burger leaving the bread. The... More

What a treat!! After been treated to a surprise night away for my 40th Birthday at the Brigands Inn, I have nothing but praise for the hotel its self and it's staff. Fantastic food, a lovely log fire, amazing rooms, and the warmest of welcomes. It was just perfect in every way.

The place was not particularly busy, from placing the order to receiving starters was at least 45 minutes, that said the food was good and once starters receive the rest of the meal was served more quickly, and we had finished and paid the bill about 2.5 hours after arriving. (3 courses)

We have stayed in a nearby by holiday house several times over the years but because of having our dogs with us had never eaten at The Brigands. Having now moved to Wales we viewed a house for sale close by and decided as a treat afterwards to have lunch at The Brigands. We received a cheery welcome from the... More

Arrived on a wild and stormy night. Snuggled into the sofa next to a roaring fire. Been there before so a bit surprised that the place was empty. Ordered the food and realised why as it was awful. Greasy beef burger, greasy onions and chips that were hard and overcooked. The raspberry mousse is to be avoided. This is the... More

should have known it was going to be bad as no other people/locals came in for the entire time we were there (obviously they knew something we didnt). As the only people eating our expectations were high sadly we were disappointed although the service was fine the food was diabolical the duck was like rubber i swear it was frozen... More
