Welcoming, friendly staff. Not just traditional Welsh rarebit available but other interesting and delicious varieties. Seasonal menu. Cater very well for dietary requirements. Third visit - has been perfect every time.

Found this place by accident whilst looking on google maps for somewhere to eat. Absolutely fantastic place, great Welsh rarebit, lovely atmosphere, tasty coffee! There is a small shop where you can buy the chutneys etc, and some other gifts. Parking on the road behind, dog friendly Highly recommended!

Superb rarebits - best I’ve had - we shared a Spanish chorizo and the daily special. Cakes and flapjacks also excellent. Lovely service from Rose and terrific setting. Can’t wait to return.

What a fabulous place! The building is beautiful and the food superb. I had the Indian Summer version of the Welsh rarebit which was amazing. My partner forgot to mention that she was gluten free and suddenly realised when they brought the food. They made her another one even though we offered to pay as it was her mistake. Fabulous coffee, tea and cakes too. Plus some lovely cards and gifts. Can’t wait to go back.

This is not to be missed. The old school building has been so lovingly and beautifully restored by the manager that it’s worth going just to admire her taste and style. But then the rarebits are divine. Amazing flavours and clean, subtle combinations of ingredients - I am running out of superlatives. Go!!

Paid a lunch visit to this lovely, former school house as we were staying close by. What a delight! Super friendly owner and nice setting. We ordered 2 standard rarebits, which came with a lovely salad and the most delicious home made apple chutney. We followed that up with homemade rhubarb and orange cake and carrot and orange cake. Both were just delicious. We brought some luxury welsh cakes to takeaway and they were the best we had!! Nice little gift area too. Wish we'd visited earlier in the week, as we would've returned for another flavour for sure.

This was an excellent find. Between us we ordered four different rarebits and we were all delighted with our choices. I had the spring seasonal which had lemon zest running through it. I’d never have thought of it but it was unbelievable! The cakes we had afterwards were all lovely and the hot drinks wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s nothing not to like here.

Wonderful welsh rarebits for lunch. Broad selection of welsh rarebits available. I had a chorizo rarebit. My wife had a stout based one. My son had a Korean inspired one with sriracha and kimchi. My daughter had a standard. My children have dairy and gluten allergies and they catered. Friendly staff. Gets busy - would recommend booking. (Also had an amazing carrot cake) 🥕

It wasn’t very welcoming when we arrived. The staff member was rather rude and abrupt when we had difficulty getting through the entrance. “Well everybody else didn’t have a problem with the door” was not the sort of attitude we wanted to be welcomed with. We had the Rare Rabbit but it was overpriced for what it was. The welcome of staff member was a put off. Not going to be returning any time soon!

Great smell of rarebit as you enter. Parking available on the road. Staff were very informative and interactive. It has an art gallery area and plenty of welsh cards, books and crafts of real quality. It uses recycled wood pellets for heating. The rarebit menu was diverse and they were delicious. Quite a few local interest booklets laid out for visitors. Very fresh and bright decor.

We visited here yesterday, and we're not disappointed. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the restaurant is beautiful and has a lovely old worldly meets modern feel. My husband had the standard rarebit and I opted for their autumn rarebit and both were amazing, definitely worth the 45 min drive! If you haven't visited here you definitely need to! They also had an art exhibition upstairs showing amazing photos, we ended up buying one as they were all fantastic!

If you think Welsh Rarebit is just cheese on toast, think again and eat here. Several to choose from and all looked delicious. You get a slab of bread covered with combinations I have never heard of. My only criticism is that, as I love my cheese, I would have liked just a tad more, but I'm a pig. It is definitely way better than I've had anywhere else.

Visited during our stay locally at the Brecons. As a huge ‘cheese on toast’ fan I was super excited to taste the classic Welsh rarebit. Lovely little building, friendly welcome. We sat outside as it was quite busy and we didn’t book in advance. Was lovely food, little side salad was a nice touch. I was expecting it to be a little cheesier, however I would visit again as this was a lovely place for a quick lunch.

Called in today on our way past on the off-chance that 13 of us could be seated for lunch. We knew it might have been a stretch for such a large group, so did expect a chance of not being able to dine. We enquired, had a friendly exchange with the chap on the till and then a less than friendly exchange with the female manager, who instead of simply saying that they couldn't accomodate such a large group was incredibly rude and condescending, passing comments such as "well, you'd think you'd know to book for such a large group". Incredibly sorry that we hadn't fully planned in advance where we might stop for some cheese on toast, we won't make that mistake again. The fact I'm even writing the review highlights what a poor taste the exchange left with us all collectively.

Stopped here for lunch. Absolutely excellent. Welcoming staff, outstanding fresh rarebits and salad, clean loos, good Covid precautions. Can’t speak more highly of this gem of a cafe/restaurant. A perfect experience - worth making the effort to seek it out

Lovely place in a lovely town. Great ambience, pleasant and attractive decor and environment and a 5 star service The bar maids - Jess and Lucy are friendly, a pleasure to chat with, and not only barmaids but cocktail connoisseurs that make a great tipple! Fabulous drinks, fast service, and a pleasurable environment to be in. Not to mention - even though the place is pleasant enough with no trouble - the security there does a fab job in helping keep the place run smoothly even though he looks like an extra from Vikings. Well done to all the lounge! Definitely reccomed a visit here for a nice evening out :)
