Restaurant at Peterstone Court Hotel in Powys

Visited Peterstone Court for afternoon tea with friends. Staff friendly and attentive. Received a very lovely greeting and welcome from the hotel’s dog on arrival. Sandwiches, cakes and savouries were very nice. Plenty of tea and coffee available. Would visit again, thank you Peterstone Court!

Excellent setting with a backdrop of the beautiful brecons! All staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble, the receptionist even moved her car out of a parking space so we could park there as the rest of the spaces were full. We had a Sunday lunch package of a roast dinner at 2pm then later cheese and biscuits and wine, then bed and breakfast, all of which was classy and superb!! Plenty of pretty walks all around the hotel and sheep in the fields. Loved it, thoroughly recommend it! Star staff member I think was called Ali or Abi, blond curly hair in a plait, told us all about her dogs. She was really cheerful and bubbly as well as efficient!!

We are a group of five friends who have been holidaying together for many years. Stumbled across this restaurant whilst searching for somewhere for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The food was excellent, well presented and piping hot. A young team of staff on duty who were attentive without being overbearing which is a sign they've been well trained. All in all a very nice lunch is a stunning venue.

went for a afternoon tea for two, amount of food pitiful, had a sandwich ham and tomato, cut into 4, half a sausage roll cut into 2, a scotch egg cut into 2, a welsh cake which was more a welsh biscuit the underneath was so overcooked, six small pieces of cake, and a pot of tea, expected scones but staff arrived and took the cake tower away, saying nothing, waited for a while nobody came back, so went to pay at the bar, and stated we had expected to have a scone, when told there were in the kitchen waiting, 2 small and hard scones then brought out to front door area with 2 small pots of jam, no cream or butter. for £45 ,not up to standard, will not return

We were here in January and Sunday Lunch - So delighted so we decided to return only to find it was nothing like what we had back then, I left my meat - They assured my daughter who has dairy allergy, they gave her an option of various meals inclding turkey then one of the staff member comes and says turkey is not availale any more because chef has put 'butter' on it! Really?? Previously table had complementary bred with balsamic vinegar & Olive oil, nothing this time. Place was cold. Such a shame - For that price there are other decent local pubs/resturants who offer much better menus and service.

Our lunch here was average: very standard menu. They took care to ask about allergies and intolerances over the telephone and during ordering but gluten contaminated one of our main courses (onion rings in batter) due to either carelessness, a lack of understanding or a failure in communication. The steaks were ok but over cooked and the Thai fish cake lacked flavour and bite. We sat outside on a lovely day and had to wrestle with faulty umbrellas over the tables. Despite this, we enjoyed our anniversary due to the sheer beauty of the place and the views. Perhaps the presence of an impending wedding limited the menu and the usual care but these are excuses. This place could be so much more …

We had dinner at this restaurant. It was tasty but not extraordinary. Many mistakes were made. We ordered a dry Martini and got a Welsh Martini. This one had nothing to do with Martini was heavy and sweet with a foam layer on top. We asked the waitress for an explanation but she was busy entering our order into the computer. We went to the bar with our Welsh Martini and asked for a regular white Martini with ice. We ordered a bottle of Montepulciano d'abruzzo and a glass of white wine with dinner. The waitress asked chardonnay or sauvignon? Chardonnay please. What did we got? A bottle of Montepulciano d'abruzzo and a bottle of white wine. We ordered the pepper sauce with 2 steaks and 1 steak without sauce. What did we got? 3 steaks with sauce. We ordered 2x cheese as a desert. What did we got? 1 portion of cheese for dessert and 1 double portion of cheese for dessert. When we pointed this out to the waitress, she went to the kitchen to ask for clarification. She came back with the explanation: “Never mind”. When checking the bill, our Welsh Martini that we had returned was stated on it. The explanation was that we had ordered these. We paid without discussion but are not going back.

Went here for a late Sunday lunch, as we attended a wedding here the day before. Very nice place with a good atmosphere, welcoming and pleasant staff. The food is a bit high priced, but absolutely very good.

We have been wanting to return to Peterstone Court ever since we had an anniversary stay 8 years ago. As we were passing on our way back from a mini-break we took a chance and asked if they had a table free for lunch, which they did. When we arrived we were shown through to the bar where we were told that someone would come along to seat us. No one appeared, and the person from the desk came through to apologise, saying that we would be dealt with as soon as possible but to take a seat while we were waiting. Some time later we were given menus and our orders were taken before we were shown to our table. It emerged that they had one waitress on duty who was greeting guests, taking orders, delivering drinks and meals as well as clearing tables so it was no wonder that things seemed a little slow. This didn’t bother me at the time, however, as I was just ecstatic to be back in the beautiful surroundings. All three of us ordered the buttermilk chicken. When it arrived it was on the bone which isn’t a favourite of mine (this wasn’t mentioned on the menu) but everyone else was quite happy. Of the six pieces of chicken (between three people) one of them was visibly bloody. I’m aware that meat near to the bone is darker in colour however this was bright red blood. I didn’t want to make a fuss so waited for the waitress to pop by to check on us. As this didn’t happen, we finished our meals and I mentioned it quietly when she came to clear the table. She took it back to the kitchen and returned to tell us that it was thoroughly cooked and this was quite normal for meat on the bone. We asked for the bill but when, 15 mins later, we hadn’t had anything, my husband went to the bar to see the waitress having a chat with a young man, clearly in no rush to deal with us. She then proceeded to ask my husband if everything was alright with the meal, almost as though she’d completely forgotten about the issues we’d raised. We were billed £56 which, from my calculations means that three soft drinks cost £11 which seems steep. I think our experience was a blip as the reviews for Peterstone Court are so good but I can’t help but feel that, on the whole, we were essentially dismissed by all and ended up having an expensive KFC, which was so disappointing after the wonderful experience we had previously.

excellent anything would,nt do it justice lovey food plenty of it served by excellent staff 10/10 every time

Had a lovely evening meal here with friends, food lovely, service good. Bit disappointed that we had clearly asked to book steaknight to arrive and be told they didnt do it anymore.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here recently, the pate starter and steak were overall winners! Delicious! The views were stunning and the staff were great.

Idyllic Setting, very attentive staff, nice tasty food, reasonable wine list. Cod rarebit was unusual and good quality. Staff found us a nice table on the terrace. A very pleasant experience.

Having stayed here twice previously and falling in love with the place, on this visit we only stopped for lunch and were bitterly disappointed. The staff and service was absolutely terrible, which we have noticed to be a common trend across many restaurants post covid. Either they can't get the staff or they are not taking the time to train them properly. Service was very slow although the hotel was not busy, we had food sat getting cold without cutlery, waiters dropping things, and requests taking so long that we just got up and fetched our own serviettes and condiments. The food was also terrible and bread was only available at evening meal, regardless to you paying for it...... We also had to chase the bill. Such a shame as we really loved this place.

My wife and I have eaten at the restaurant on many occasions but not recently because of the Covid lockdown. Previously, our experience at the restaurant has been good and as my brother and sister in law were visiting, we thought it would be nice to take them there for dinner. Immediately, I noticed that I did not recognise any of the staff. Then I was concerned when I read the menu and the poor and limited choice of starters and main courses. Service was prompt but all four of us were disappointed when we received our starters. I had Devilled Kidneys that turned out to be a very small portion of sliced lamb's kidneys in a tasteless sauce on soggy sourdough toast accompanied by a limp piece of lettuce with a brown stem, and the large head of a broad bean plant! For main, I chose "Proper Fish Pie" - or so it was described. This comprised two small, shallow, oval dishes set on a large round plate. One dish held a mess of green beans, mange tout and broccoli. In the other was my fish pie - piped mash potato over a shallow base of small fish pieces in a dry sauce. The pie could only described as a starter portion and was all completely tasteless. I made my views clear to the waitress who said she would tell the chef. My fellow diners were disappointed to varying degrees but the other surprising and odd dish was the "braised brisket". This was presented as a large slab of beef covered in a brown sauce and accompanied by roasted new potatoes. The beef resembled an up-turned loaf cake covered with chocolate. It looked ridiculous and caused some hilarity but was tender and tasty. The starters cost around £8.50 each and the mains £18.50. Unfortunately, this food was no better that traditional pub grub costing half that price. When we paid the lady, who I presumed to be the restaurant manager, I said I was very unhappy with the meal and she said "yes, the waitress told the chef". And that was it! She showed no interest in discussing my complaint or asking if the others enjoyed their meals. That just about sums up the attitude of the establishment. Take it or leave it. We're not interested in your opinion. We just have to put it down to experience and move on. Dear reader, do not make the same mistake.

Recently made use of a dinner bed and breakfast voucher that I had previously purchased as a present for my daughter and her partner. Unfortunately, despite the stay starting well it ended in complete upset and disappointment . The evening meal they reported as absolutely delicious best meal really top draw but ,the breakfast request they listed on their customer sheet beared no resemblance to what they actually received and they were asked to share 2 pastries and I pot of small yogurt, Orange juice and jam also all in short supply and On ration . Attempts to ask for more simply went unheeded. Having waited longer than necessary for additional breakfast items to arrive which subsequently did not appear they decided to check out . At this point they were then presented with a drinks bill for the previous evening that applied to someone else . !! It was only a very small amount of £15 but they did not want to pay for something that they hadn’t received so later requested a reimbursement and were told initially that this would be made to their bank card. Later the response was they were advised that it would now no longer be possible to do this as they had signed the drinks receipt and in doing so had entered into “a contract” which had to be maintained. My daughter explained that they had had a conversation with the member of staff at the time of their meal explaining that they had a voucher and been advised of the drinks allowance based around this . granted they should have checked the amount before signing but good customer service would suggest that if mistakes are mAde they should be helped to be rectified. Equally, one would assume that in terms of “the contract” they should have been presented with the correct information in the first instance . I purchased vouchers at the time they were released as I have been here many times before and enjoyed the experience .Myself and husband were prior to this ,rather looking forward to a stay here. However , We are now rather dreading the forthcoming experience . Verdict when we do go will see it out ensuring we apply scrutiny to the bill , be mindful of any contract law that may be applied to us and , make sure we eat well the night before to address the fact that breakfast is likely to be a very modest affair . Disappointing outcome to what was intended as an exciting family gift and disappointing response by an establishment that used to hold much higher standards.

The terrace has beautiful views across the river to the Brecon mountains. The initial service was prompt and a bowl of water brought for my dog. However, we had to ask three times for water for ourselves and the afternoon tea was disappointing. We were...

Great lunch! Full of flavour, beautiful presentation and good value. Highly recommended. Great view from some of the tables too.

I had full Welsh breakfast on my first morning: two rashers of nice thick bacon, big tasty sausage, good quality black pudding, beans, mushrooms, egg. I couldn't finish it. My wife had avocado on toast with scrambled egg. Lasrhe portion - she couldn't finish it...

Enjoyed a family lunch here during the summer holidays. The food was good, staff accomodating and the tables well spaced out. My son thoroughly enjoyed running around the grounds in between courses!

When my friends offered to treat me to sunday lunch I suggested (having looked at the website) that we meet up at Peterstone Court. The building and location are lovely but unfortunately the experience left me with a negative impression of the place....The waiting staff...

We were lucky enough to be able to visit for lunch on the first day of the Eat out to Help out menu this week. We were blessed with the weather and were seated on the outdoor terrace looking over the river and towards the...

Beautiful spa , beautiful food and awesome service. Had the buttermilk chicken and my auntie had the fish and chips. Delicious meals. Will recommend and will return.

I love the way you can sit down in the library room or bar area on a beautiful chesterfield sofa or chair next to the open fire, select your food while doing so and having a drink. When your food is ready you are then...

This place has a great atmosphere an ambience. The service was outstanding, I didn’t have foot here but it looked superb. Shout out to Suzanne for the outstanding service

Having been 4 or 5 times before location is ideal for meeting family. Although lunch was tasty both main meal and desert were quite cold. They were very busy and quite full so staff were very busy and several couples were having taster meals in...

We returned home to Abergavenny after visiting this hotel for afternoon tea for a 70th birthday celebration. To say poor would be a compliment. We were taken into the room to find our group of 12 plus a 5 year old had been put onto...

Again to be clear I write this after writing to the hotel and receiving no response which kind of sums up their approach to service. Well we paid £90 each for Christmas lunch and when we arrived the tables were not decorated just a runner...

Great meal last night. There is a great selection of everything from starters to desserts. Over the course of the evening p, we started with munchies in the bar and we had the fried whitebait. A perfect munchie to share and yummy with a garlic...

Last year we came here for our Christmas works party. Had a wonderful time good food and service, This year so different, packed in like sardines. Veg so scarce along with gravy.we won't go again obviously. Think again as this doesn't pay off

The evening meal in general was Okay, but not up to 5* Items we ordered never arrived or arrived late during the meal. The Breakfast was very disappointing, I asked for a banana which never arrived. I was told I was only allowed 1 hot...

stayed here for 4 nights and ate in the hotel 3/4 nights which tells you something. also dog friendly which is great. there is a dining room for non-dog lovers too.nice bar area with open fire then a choice of terrace or dining room to eat in. then retire to the library with its open fire to relax in.highly recommended

Peterstone Court has everything that you want - from breathtaking views to amazing food and friendly staff.

Went for catch up with a friend to this lovely Country house. Free parking a added bonus , greeted with a friendly smile and a value for money delicious 2 course set lunch for only £16-50.

Visited Peterstone Court for Sunday Lunch (4.8.2019) and have to say that the food quality is outstanding.

We visited the restaurant after using the spa, we were welcomed and looked after by very attentive staff. The menu was very extensive - even for vegetarians and vegans! We had a feast, and can highly reccomend the vegetarian mezze board and the buttermilk chicken (compliments to the chef Paul). It was a shame we didn't have room for dessert because the selection was mouthwatering - we settled for a cocktail instead. We sat out on the decking, in the sunshine, over looking the beacons.

Not as advertised. Menu has been changed - and not for the better. Poor wine list Will not be going back!

We were very impressed by the amount of choice on the vegan menu and had an absolutely delicious lasagna! As two veggies and one vegan it surpassed our expectations and we were very impressed with it. The staff were very pleasant too.

Lunch at Peterstone Court , was good in so many ways . The seating area had views over the garden and countryside . The décor was stunning . The menu was not over full but gave good choices . The service was excellent and the food was very good .

Had an amazing time at this hotel. Perfect, despite the dreadful weather, we met the best of people, the best of staff but the chef must have been on a night off. might have just been the night we ate there but it wasn't grand

I was held a wonderful baby shower here as a table of 12 for afternoon tea and I was completely amazed by the whole experience. The table was a perfect size for us all and looked very elegantly decorated and they even put a table to the side for gifts, etc to be placed. When the food came out, we was all in awe with how much was served and it was shared out amongst the table perfectly for everyone to share. When my vegan afternoon tea came out I had a tier to myself and it looked and tasted absolutely beautiful and there was a great selection for me too. The staff were great and very attentive without being too much. We was not rushed in the slightest either which was great. I very much recommend afternoon tea here in its beautiful surroundings.

The food and service were great. Housed in a wonderful building with lots of charm. The whole dinning experience was amazing a great find

We had a beautiful meal when we stayed in April, the menu was so good it was hard to choose, the dining room is a lovely setting as well

Good vegetarian options really well made, extremely enjoyable, service is fantastic, accomodate allergies,

The choice on menu was so hard to choose from! It all looked delightful. The lamb and Pheasant were so tender and presented in a special way. Desert was cracking, refreshing the pallet. Service was superior and attentive. Will differently return, very pleased. Thank you to all staff.

I love this place.Its great. you can take any type of visitor as its swanky but relaxed, have a romantic night etc. But £30 is the cheapest bottle of prosecco, come on ..that would be my biggest criticism. Food always really good, but sometimes portions seem a little small. Staff either fantastic or scatty it seems with orders. Cant knock it mostly, cant stop coming back.

Excellent food,steak cooked to perfection,lovely atmosphere and efficient staff .It was so relaxing sitting in front of the open log fire sipping wine before being taken to our table.I must say the sweet potato and ginger soup was excellent.

We very much enjoyed each of the meals for the three nights we stayed... particularly the 'full Welsh' breakfast!

An overnight stay and we wished we could have had more time to enjoy this lovely hotel. Staff were most welcoming, breakfast was perfect [never had such fabulous pancakes before! And the sourdough bread . . . fabulous!] The bedroom was spacious, extremely comfortable, wonderful views, huge bathroom. We really hope to visit again – for much longer. Many thanks to all.

Ate here as part of our stay. Had evening meal and breakfast and I recommend both! The pork starter was delicious and my bouillabaisse was well seasoned. Would have liked a chunk of bread to dip into the wonderful sauce. Pheasant was also perfectly cooked.

On arrival we were greeted by a very efficient receptionist who made sure our room was ready even though we arrived early. Our room was very big and very comfortable, The food was excellent and serviced matched. The staff were very welcoming. Thanks for a nice stay.

So my husband and I had a one nights stay at this hotel on the weekend ! On arrival I had a lovely welcome , all staff were very nice ! We stayed in the cantref suite which was very nice although I do feel it is a little over rated and really could do with a few tweaks ; the best part of the room was the view (fantastic) and the bed was amazingly comfy - the bathroom however really needs an upgrade ! The shower did not work (cold wAter) and the shower dial would come away from socket ! The bath looked amazing but is not really fit for purpose unless you’re a size 4 and 4 foot !

For the second time we were charmed by the staff and evening meal on the 30 December. The food and wine were outstanding. We will be back.

We've used this restaurant for family events numerous times, but after yesterday’s experience are unlikely to return. We were 15 adults (including some restaurant professionals) and two small children, booked months in advance and having sent in our menu choices some weeks ago. We had arranged to have the smaller dining room to ourselves. We arrived to find four places had been set at a separate table, despite there being space to put the tables together to make a whole-group table. We re-set that ourselves, demonstrating that it could have been done that way from the outset.

Excellent food - well worth a visit!! We had fish and chips, followed by sticky toffee pudding and a apple and raspberry crumble.

Have had meals here before and unable to fault them but yesterday went for afternoon tea and have to admit was terrible.

The food was delicious , the menu was lovely with a good but select choice. The wine was very good and the staff were very attentive. This all combined to make a perfect dinner out to celebrate my husband’s birthday . All of this in a beautiful old building full of character.

Whether sitting on the Sofa in front of The Fire or soaking up The Stunning Scenery on The Terrace-an INCREDIBLE Place!

This restaurant boasts top notch food. However our experience was that their sister hotel The Manor served us a much better quality meal. Sadly I chose lemon and garlic chicken which was dry and boring. The cheeseboard was a fraction of what was offered at the other hotel. It was a shame.

My meal of lamb was delicious, woth local sourced food. Husband’s salmon was overcooked to his order, so one has to be precise. Service wa good, and second night we ordered bar food which also were tasty sandwiches in the old traditional bar.

Ok so we paid £17.50 a head so it was never going to be the Ritz. The setting is glorious. But sandwiches with cheap and nasty - and stale - bread, with cheap and nasty fillings, broken biscuits and broken pieces shop-bought cake that had been days out of their packets? The scones were nice as was the clotted cream, though jam was served in those ghastly little pots. China was cracked and stained - charming? Um no... Just cracked and stained. Tea was served without milk even though we had requested it. The waiters weren't awful, just clearly untrained students employed on the cheap. We didn't complain as this was supposed to be a treat for friends and we didn't want to make a fuss. However, on leaving one of our guests noted the food hygiene rating that restaurants are obliged to post outside was a 1 - "in need of considerable improvement). Ouch! Embarassment not avoided! I hope this is out of date and that the hygiene improvements have indeed been made! Very sorry to say that we cannot recommend this place to eat for anything other than the glorious views and the very pleasant decor. It could be splendid with a top chef and trained staff.

Amazingly good food. Plenty of choice on the menu, we're a family of pescatarians and meat eaters, and we struggled to decide what to have! Local ingredients and a fantastic selection of cheeses. The staff are really attentive and very friendly.

Not too much choice and not too little. Food was absolutely perfect, in fact the best starter and the best dessert that I have ever had.

Mysef and my partner had booked in for a evening meal. The bar staff and waitress were great, very pleasant and friendly.

Wife and I ate here while staying at the hotel and the food was absolutely amazing. Every ingredient looked and tasted incredible and they were happy to go the extra mile to give us what we wanted if we had any peculiar requests. One act in particular helped to make our anniversary very special indeed and was a testament to just how good the staff were - they really made us feel like luxury guests and we loved every minute and every bite.

Stayed here a while ago, staff are good but the main manager disagreed with every concern we voiced about the room he gave us attitude and was rude. The taxi driver we spoke to also said we are not the first to have a problem with the head of this place.

The food here is excellent sourced from local ingredients. I had the Ribeye- it was beautiful. I cannot imagine being disappointed with any of the fare on offer. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service levels. Pricing on the high side but not unrealistic - in line with larger 4star hotels. Staff are efficient and friendly, with an easy manner. Really enjoyed it as a romantic evening.

Very good, very tasty, we will come back! The wine was also excellent price... reasonable. Lamb melted in my mouth

Thank you so much for a delightful welcome, delicious food and for two evenings in June being able to sit at a table on the terrace looking across at a fabulous views of the Beacons.

We ate at the restaurant as part of a dinner package with the hotel. You pay £40 for £50 of food. We had the Thai spring rolls, the hake and the chicken. All were fantastic. There is a good selection of items on the menu. The restaurant is smaller and quiet - perfect for a romantic dinner. We ended our meal with white chocolate cheesecake which was beautifully presented. Overall a great experience.

Fantastic local cuisine in a fantastically romantic setting. We sampled as much as we could from steak to the vegetarian options and as much beer and wine in between as possible. We stayed for two nights and had every meal here because we were consistently delighted. My husband is a fussy eater too so finding somewhere that he loves is always a coupe!

Visiting family in the Brecon Beacons we had a birthday to celebrate and were recommended to try the Peterstone Court Hotel for a celebratory birthday lunch. It’s a lovely setting, we had drinks in the lounge, moved to the restaurant where the view was great looking over the valley. The staff were attentive helpful throughout and worked hard to ensure all went smoothly. It’s is certainly at the top of the range for mid range cost but it’s a proper hotel and restaurant delivering quality food and service so the costs are commensurate. Well done to the whole team who looked after us.

Superb!!! All good beautifully prepared and presented. Very tasty and piping hot! Appetising and filling. (See my hotel review)

Very nice restaurant, excellent service . Great menu Not too long menu Stayed 2 nights with dinner Excellent value

Delicious food in a lovely setting. Good range of dishes to chose from in each course. We had whitebait and soup to start, followed by pheasant and the steak. My wife said the pheasant was delicious. I had the steak, which was quite pricey at £29, so I am pleased to say I wasn’t disappointed. Not sure why the chips were triple cooked, once would have been enough! There was a great range of ice creams and desserts and the cheese board consisted of a nice range of local cheeses. The service was excellent, so often good food is let down by poor service, but not in this case.

The aged sirloin steak melts in your mouth and is full of flavour. Triple cooked chips are irresistible. My wife had the “fish and chips “ crispy batter covered the moist beautifully cooked fish. Our desert was the chocolate

Would highly recommend to anyone, great relaxed atmosphere, first class staff, food and a great wine cellar. Fantastic customer experience that exceeded expectations.

We had afternoon tea at Peterstone Court with family visiting from USA, it was their first visit for many years and tea at Peterstone Court and was a fantastic highlight. Nothing was too much trouble, plentiful pots of tea, coffee and herbal teas, a wonderful...

We ate here one night on our stay in the hotel. Good quality food but very overpriced compared to others in the area.

Excellent meals in the restaurant. Pigeon breasts as a starter with the lamb as a main. Good menu and suitable...

This was such a good restaurant. Great breakfast not your standard fare. Evening meal was brilliant and all the staff...

We had a very good Sunday lunch here. The starters of moules mariniere and garlic mushrooms were excellent. The beef...

Beautifully cooked and well presented food. Service is personal and friendly. Really enjoyed the whole evening. Highly recommended.

Confit of lamb was very tender and moist with a lovely rich flavour and accompanying sauce. Rump of lamb was served very pink, again had a lovely flavour. Supplied by our old family butcher. Came with dauphinois and leek potatoes, perfectly roast pumpkin, Cavolo Nero and rosemary jus. Very enjoyable.

We had dinner as part of our package staying at the Peterstone Court Hotel. The food quality, preparation and presentation was superb and unlike some restaurants, which focus on quality at the expense of quantity, we did not walk away feeling hungry.

My new friend had a long drive to me and I wanted lunch to be special - so Peterstone was my choice - smoked salmon starter for us both - v nice - steak for me and dover sole for him - we ate everything!! Weather wasn't brilliant so unable to sit out on patio - service was good - mission accomplished - we will be back

We came here last night as a party of 5 to complete my mother's 80th birthday celebrations. This is such a beautiful place. As you walk in you and are met with the glorious smell of real wood fires. The lounge areas are just so relaxing. I could have happily curled up by the fire for the entire evening, but there was such a selection of wonderful food, I decided it would be silly not to indulge! The smoked haddock croquettes were so delicious, and the duck bang bang was also apparently lovely, not that I was offered a taste, although I personally thought it a bit odd that it was served cold and the noodles were crispy, like just out of the packet. Didn't seem to bother the 2 people who ordered it though. The main courses were equally scrumptious. The slow cooked lamb was demolished (didn't get to try that either), the hake looked amazing as did the lemon sole. I had the pasta with seafood. It was a little too vinegary for me, but that's my fault, nothing wrong with meal. We all had desserts, well why not?! Having enjoyed the first 2 courses, we didn't want to miss out on the wonderful selection available. The sticky toffee pudding needed more toffee or something to make the actual portion less dry. This is according to my sister who is a bit of a connoisseur of sticky toffee pudding! The crumble was delicious, apparently, as was the lemon sorbet. I had the cheese and biscuits with a glass of port. Small portion but perfect for me. The service from all the staff was excellent, they brought my mother a complimentary glass of wine as it was her birthday. She's quite liking being 80!!! This is an excellent establishment with excellent staff. My main complaint is that my family clearly don't like sharing their food, but not really sure the staff have any control over this! Will try to stay the night when I go there next time, just to make the most of the experience.

The choice was excellent and almost too much. We enjoyed the bar snacks earlier in the day and then a three course evening meal. The food was good with reasonable portions. Starter was probably the best (Thai pork and soup). My main was a little small (duo of duck), but really nicely done. Enjoyed a desert as well even if they had run out of ice cream.

We stayed one night at the Peterstone and had dinner in its dining room. The room is lovely. There is an excellent selection to choose from. The service was friendly and first class. We travel a lot and eat entirely too much and this restaurant is about as good as one gets.

We recently had a family 60th birthday celebration lunch for eleven people and Peterstone Court really did us proud. We advised them in advance that our party included a number of vegetarians and the kitchen spontaneously offered additional vegetarian options. They managed to cope very well with some "faddy" eaters (including a vegetarian who does not like that many vegetables!). The food was wonderful (especially the creamed leaks) as was the service. We were thoroughly well looked after.

Attended a dinner with about 40 people my dietary requirements were given and food was just disappointing - no alternative to the dessert. Main course was vegetarian alternative then when I changed to chicken it was covered in salt.

Just to say we where thoroughly looked after, the food was excellent with well thought out menus and locally sourced ingredients, highly recommend and we will be returning.

Excellent service and amenities! Lovely staff! My wife and I enjoyed our relaxing day at this amazing hotel, but as we live nearby in Hay-on-Wye, we assume that the hotel achieves the same high standard as the Spa!

We were fortunate enough to be invited to a wedding ceremony and subsequent wedding breakfast and evening party. The hotel is lovely with lots of different rooms to sit and socialise with other guests. The terraces at the rear have fabulous views across to the Pen y Fan saddle. The food was truly wonderful, each course was enjoyed by everyone. I would definitely visit again.

Breakfast was great and not over indulging. Could help self to continental. Dinner in evening was great. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented. Great food and staff were great.

Stopped by on a road trip in the Beacons looking for a dog friendly place for a light lunch and refreshment. Opted for the Welsh Rarebit, one with bacon and one without, food arrived quickly was well presented and tasted lovely. We couldn't have been made more welcome by the staff and the dog had lots of attention and a clean water bowl. Dogs are welcome in the library, bar and the conservatory area. The hotel is a popular wedding venue so check out if there is a wedding on before you visit !

We have come to Peterstone court on numerous occasions as a special treat for ourselves. We attended on Saturday for a 7:30 booking for dinner and had requested a table on the terrace. As soon as we arrived we were immediately put off, as we are shown to our table there are other patrons surrounding our table all smoking and have obviously been drinking all day. We wondered what they were all looking at, when we did see we were extremely uncomfortable by the fact that there were 2 men in there underwear in the swimming pool. This was supposed to be our view for the evening. As you can imagined this instantly put us off and set a bad tone for the evening. No one from the staff had the for thought to maybe ask these people to at least move away from our table so we could sit down and staff thought it funny that were 2 drunken men in the swimming pool in there underwear.We sat down and were given our menus 2 minutes later we were asked for a drinks order and had to request a wine list. After choosing a very special bottle of red the bottle was opened at the bar away from us and not presented at the table. As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry for several years I have never opened a bottle away from a table and made a point of expressing my surprise that this had been done especially as PeterStone Court is supposed to be a high dinning experience. Again this carried on the tone for the evening.We ordered our food stating that my mother is a vegetarian so could she just have a halumi salad as a main, very simple, it was reiterated a few times that she eats nothing with eyes. Starters arrived, my fathers terrine was inedible the only highlight he said was the homemade piccalilli which was excellent. I had ordered the tomato mozzarella Mille Feuille which sounded very intriguing what I got was a tomato and mozzarella salad.Mains arrived and my mother received a smoked salmon salad which we had to send back and wait for her to have a vegetarian salad made up, she said that once it did come it was excillent. Our luxury fish pies were disappointing although tasty, I don't think you should state you have put scallops in your fish pie when in fact you have just put the scallop tail in there which is the bit you cut off and don't serve. Pudding was a surprise my dad ordered a strawberry eat and mess and got a blueberry and blackberrie eat and mess, it was o.k but if there is a menu change I think you should inform your customer. My lemon tart was excellent however and the sticky toffee although having to request the ice-cream a second time was also tasty. We will come back and try you again as we have had previous experiences that have been good but we were all disappointed with this visit especially when you are spending that kind of money you expect it to be faultless. We will also check if there is a wedding in future as we will not be having a dinner at the same time.

Our Sunday lunch at Peterstone Court lived up to expectation. The restaurant was nicely busy, giving it a warm atmosphere but wasn't overly busy. Waiting staff were friendly and attentive and the service was very good. Our starters included a tomato soup, pulled pork terrine and buffalo mozzarella with peas and broad beans. We all enjoyed these and along with the home-made bread,they really did provide a good start to our meal. Traditional lunch choices of roast beef and roast pork were much enjoyed as was the roast hake. The accompanying vegetables were piping hot and included a range of choices - cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, roasted vegetables, summer greens with peas and beans. We ended our meals with delicious pudding choices - Eton Mess, Chocolate Brownie and raspberry sorbet. A coffee, enjoyed in the afternoon sunshine on the terrace, where we had wonderful views of Pen-y-Fan really topped our meal off perfectly.

The dinner we had here was very average and we only had a main each. They didn't have a bottle of wine we ordered so we had to swap. The service was friendly and fairly quick. The breakfast was yummy with a good range of options on the bed and breakfast.
