Wye Knot Stop B&B, Cafe/Tearoom in Powys

IT WAS NOT TERRIBLE BUT . . . . . . having checked their website before leaving Cheltenham to check that the café was open that day and driven 50+ miles it was very annoying and disappointing to find it was CLOSED. The gentleman mowing the front lawn (possibly the owner or manager) replied to my disappointment saying "Oh, yes, I must get around to changing it (the website)".

We had planned a day of hiking preceded by a hearty breakfast. The latter was pivotal as many will spot! We turned up 0945hrs at the Wye Knot - closed, and no indication why, etc! That goodness for the Griffin Inn next door - saved the day, and the breakfast was quite probably the best any of us have ever had! - thank you the Griffin Inn and I hope this review brings you more business!

Delightful breakfast, would highly recommend this venue if you are driving past. Will return on our way back to North wales.

Last stopped here over 25 years ago! Lovely place to break our journey through Wales. Friendly, efficient service. We only called in for a brew but the food looked good that was being served, so maybe next time?

Fantastic veggie breakfast. Home made cakes. Amazing hosts. Our favourite place. A must visit. Dogs welcome

Lovely food in a very pleasant room with very attentive staff. Highly recommended. Will definitely call in again.

We decided to stop for lunch at the WYE KNOT STOP . Honestly didn’t expect to be so impressed. I’ve driven past countless times. Chuckled cause I like the name. Lovely food. Kind hosts snd beautiful surroundings xx

Found this delightful café after going through several towns and villages (on a Monday) that were all closed for the day. The Café is well presented and provided a good range of well priced meals, with good service. A great find.

Fantastic food, stopped on a little day out. Really pretty outside and welcoming. Menu was excellent value and I opted for Welsh Rarebit and salad. Both were absolutely gorgeous. My friends had Paninis and sweet potato chips, which were also delicious. If you are looking for excellent food, I can't recommend this place higher

Stayed here for 2 nights with 2 others over the weekend. We stayed in the Mill room which was upstairs. From the point of booking the hosts, Paola and Jonathan, were very helpful and welcoming. The room itself had plenty of space and was nice and cool during the heatwave which we are experiencing. Beds were also very comfortable. We found the hosts great and they were very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was lovely, and we also tried some of the cakes on sale which were sublime. Would definitely recommend visiting Wye Knot Stop for food and for an over night stay. Location was also good, with most places of interest not too far away.

We called in to the wye not stop for lunch, a great find excellent value , my husband had the Spanish pork and bean stew and he said it was delicious. The owner wife is Spanish so very orthentic and the cakes are to die for. Five star .

Often stop in this little gem on route to Cardiff.Food always tasty,clean and delightful owners and staff, .

Visited on our way back home to North Wales. Homely décor inside, Friendly staff and most of all fantastic pricing for a good Welsh fry up! Was delicious!

Had a lovely lunch with husband. Lasagne was delicious. It was served with a very tasty couscous and chickpea salad, chips and coleslaw. All homemade. Lovely lady serving. We took home cakes for tea. Service was excellent. Don't drive past stop and try. You won't be disappointed.

Booked last minute as I had a sudden urge for my first festive lunch of the season, so glad I did, the Turkey and trimmings were the best I've ever tasted, lots of flavour and seasoning. Have booked in for next week, cant wait!

My family and I are forever popping to the Wye Knot Stop for a bite to eat and we’ve never come away disappointed! John is an incredible chef, with all food cooked from scratch with the most amazing flavours that you will crave for days after! Paula is a wonderful Waitress and will make sure you are fed, watered and smiling at each visit - so if you’re popping past this gorgeous little restaurant...why not stop?

Popped in for lunch whilst in the area. Really tasty food at decent prices and friendly service. The Coffee and Walnut Cake was delicious.

Passing through the village and saw this wonderful view of a green piece of land, a tree and people sitting out enjoying their coffee. Decided to stop and join them. My wife had the chocolate orange cake and I had a scone. This was delightful, a totally unexpected stop but what a wonderful location. Excellent service as well.

The food here is fantastic and so is the service. While on holiday with another family, Paola swiftly found enough chairs to seat 9 in total and she couldn’t do enough for us. During covid we ate outside under cover and managed to stay dry while it was raining. If staying in the area or just passing through, do yourself a favour and grab a coffee and a cake, you won’t be disappointed. We visited on several occasions and thoroughly enjoyed each time. Delicious

We were staying very close to Wye Knot Stop and visited a couple of times for tea/coffee and cake. We also ate breakfast there on our last morning before driving home. The food and service were wonderful and the staff were welcoming and attentive. Would definitely visit again if we return to the area.

This place caught our eye with its attractive floral displays so we stopped for lunch - so glad we did! We sat outside under the cover of the veranda and ordered Katsu Curry which was delicious. It also has lovely cakes and serves breakfasts - we would definitely return when passing.

Just visiting around Brecon beacon area and decided last minute to stay for a couple a nights, clean rooms, friendly and warmly welcome, 100% recommended!

Decided to stop here on our way from Llandudno to Cardiff. What a fantastic little place. Immaculately clean, pleasant hosts, gorgeous breakfast. Unfortunately it will be closed on our way home!

Really very impressed, we came back again this time to our lovely smiling hosts Jon & Paola. The food is inventive and carefully crafted from high quality ingredients, while the service is impeccable and always efficient.Keep up the good work guys, and we'll be back time and time again!See you soon :)

When visiting Brecon we booked in for a couple of nights. Hosts were so friendly and the room was great. We missed out on eating here as they close at 5pm, which was the only downside of the trip as the smells were amazing. Local pubs were good for evening meals but booking would be advised. I think we will be back :) A delightful stay which we would thoroughly recommend. Thank you 'Wye Knot Stop'

Meant to call in here many times while driving past to south wales,to day we did,so glad,amazing food service,and friendly reception,absolutely wonderful food so tasty and best quality food used,will definitely call in every time we drive that way,thank you so much,from welshpool

Came here for 2 nights with some friends for a wedding - the rooms are comfortable and the breakfast and service were both excellent. The floor I slept on after being unable to make it all the way to my bed was perfectly acceptable in my post wedding alcoholic haze, as was the toilet, which I vomited into at 5am. Room tip: pick a room with a floor and a toilet.

Lovely coffee and homemade cake here this afternoon...a fire burning on a rainy November day and a welcoming host.Enjoyed our stop off on journey from north to South Wales. Only surprised it was not busier...it deserves to be.

We have been here 3 times now and always the same high standards are readily found. A definite stop on our trips through Brecon. Welcomed by Paola and her warm service, and Jonathan's 5-star food is always something we look forward to. **Wye Knot Stop needs more 'foodies' to visit - guaranteed you will not be disappointed!**Keep up the good work, and we'll be seeing you again soon!

We stopped here on our way from South Wales to Tywyn. We had gammon and chips, cod and chips and the Welsh Rarebit. All were absolutely delicious and very good value.

This was our second visit and they really do all they can to accomodate you. The most friendly people ever. We stopped for breakfast again, on the way to Bala and had a cooked breakfast that is one of the nicest ever. The mushrooms were exceptional. Lovely and clean through out.This is becoming a regular stop for us and I am so glad we have found it.

I have visited this establishment on several occasions with my elderly mum and have never been disappointed. My mother has mobility problems and it is greatly appreciated that the owner will open the door for us when she sees us. She always greets us warmly remembering my mums menu choice (which does not change). In addition to the menu there is a specials board, portion sizes are generous. The salads accompanying the meals are fresh and tasty and I can also recommend the Sunday lunches.

Stopped here on way back to S Wales. Good coffee and tea. Had cranberry/white choc flapjack..delicious and goodcsized portion. V clean..staff polite and courteous

El Drive a la cafetería a través de una vegetación exuberante y ondulado, que era un verdadero placer en sí mismo!

Llamamos a las 10:00 el sábado por la mañana para disfrutar de una taza de café, pero un par de personas sentadas afuera recomienda un sándwich de tocino. En la final, los 4 de nosotros tuvimos un desayuno caliente y café. Todo era fabuloso y a £32 para 4 personas fue una buena relación calidad-precio. Recomendado.

Mi madre nos alojamos en el anexo separado por tres noches en una visita familiar. , s difícil encontrar un estar y ser lo que realmente se ocupa de sus clientes. La mayoría sólo ofrecen lo básico y esencial y no toque personal. Encantado con el servicio, las instalaciones y la mayoría de todo nada era demasiado problema. La comida era estupenda, una ubicación increíble. Si estás de paso o quieres una base para salir a explorar el río muchos paseos - parada aquí, te encantará. mwell glasbury ubicado para heno, Builth, Brecon.

We had 2 lovely meals for less than £20 today. Quiet, with beautiful mountain views, Will definitely call again!

Nos alojamos aquí durante las habitaciones estaban muy limpias y eran espaciosas. Los propietarios eran geniales. cenamos allí y me sorprendió lo bien que estaba la comida con una botella de vino, fue excelente relación calidad-precio. El desayuno era igual de bueno. Sin duda me alojaría allí de nuevo o si estoy pasando por probar su asado los domingos.

Qué parada encantadora este estaba en nuestro largo viaje en coche desde Snowdonia volver a Devon. La comida es genial, bien cocinada y presentada a un muy buen precio. Es difícil conseguir una buena relación calidad-precio en este viaje y esta joyita vale la pena conocer.

Great place to stop at ,friendly ,fabulous food , great location ,it's must if you in the Brecon area , Thank you John all best

Hoy fue mi primera visita a la encantadora cafetería tienda y sin duda volveremos! No sé lo que era anteriormente, pero los nuevos propietarios son bastante encantador y la variedad y calidad de la comida era excelente. Tortas y pasteles aspecto y sabor celestial, y...

Paramos aquí para el almuerzo, ya que conduciendo a B. Al-Shalhoob en nuestro camino a St Ives, y me alegro tanto de haberlo hecho. Es un pintoresco café con opciones de almuerzo encantador y elegimos el mozzarella jamón panini con un plato de ensalada y estaba delicioso! Tienen wifi gratis! incluso FaceTime nuestra hija en Mallorca y funcionó muy bien y claro! Un inodoro limpio y servicio dentro y amable. Recomiendo hacer una parada aquí. Es lindo! No tengo ninguna queja.

Four old crinkley bikers called in for a brew and light bite.Sue and her colleague were very good. Patient ! The lattes were brilliant ! I think we all had two each . The soup and fresh granary bread was really nice . My bro, a chubby lad ,had the double egg ham and chips which he said was spot on . We can't comment cos he didn't share ! All in all recommended for a stop offSteve

I stopped for a coffee on my way up the A470, and it was a great place to have a quick break and a coffee (made with soya milk, which was handy, otherwise I'd have had to have an americano), and a very nice gluten free cake.Very friendly service, nice pottery for sale and a beautiful location.

We travelled from Wiltshire to Aberystwyth and back in one day!! so stopping here for breakfast was a real treat on the way! Greeted with a lovely Welsh welcome by the owner and her lovely staff we found that nothing in the way of food or drink would have been too much to be prepared for us. Delightful. Thank you.

great food and good service in a local cafe for us. we have been going here for years and really enjoy the cafe

We recently stayed in Llyswen overnight so looked for a light lunch on the saturday afternoon and breakfast on the Sunday morning. I spoke to Sue on the phone to check if she was ok to cater for a party of 8 and she was really helpful. The food on both the saturday and sunday was freshly prepared and great value for money - really recommend the full english breakfast, one of the best I have had. Many thanks to Sue and her staff!

We seem to stop here, either going to wales or coming back to devon as its almost half way. Its a lovely spot and a lovely family run establishment with just the right choices for travellers or just a spot to head for on a drive or ride in the lovely countryside. They also sell some local produce and gifts and I will always make this place to eat en route over and above the service stations.

Driving from Oswestry to Swansea is not for the faint hearted & by the time we'd got to the Wye Knot we needed a break from driving. We'd noticed this place several times but never had the opportunity to drop in. Well we did today & what a pleasant surprise. A small, intimate space with a roaring log fire, good coffee, lovely sandwiches and some locally made postcards & other knick knacks on sale. Reading the posters it seems this is a real community hub with live entertainment on offer. A real gem that we'll make a point of stopping in next time we pass through.

Just pulled over on of chance. Had coffee and a (huge ) slice of cake. Value for money. Very friendly and helpfull as needed directions, quick service.
