The best restaurants in Bwlch Powys Mid Wales

Stayed with my daughter for a couple of nights before the school term restarts. Room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Very quiet with a gorgeous view of the Welsh countryside. Breakfast was lovely and filling. A real shame they don't do evening meals as it meant we ended up with takeaways in the car as I wasn't sure if we'd be allowed to bring in hot food. That aside, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book again.

Wow!!!! A diamond in the Beacons! Booked for a Sunday lunch here for my mother’s birthday. The host was warm and welcoming, the atmosphere lively and friendly……. The food!!!!! Amazing!!!!! A proper Sunday lunch, the leg of Welsh lamb cooked to perfection with the added bonus of the best cauliflower cheese ever, golden and delicious! You will need to book…. As it was very busy, however the service was never compromised for a second, swift, polite and piping hot 👌🏻

Louise & Sophie were very welcoming for our planned visit. All the food came piping hot- there was 15 of us!! Excellent food, very tasty & reasonably priced too. Louise even put the ice cream machine on for some delicious whippy ‘99’ ices which were lovely. This little diner is spotlessly clean, the decor is a great take on retro. Lovely atmosphere. If you haven’t called in to sample the food then you’re missing out!! We are definitely going back, well worth a visit.

We popped in for lunch after a visit to Tretower Castle. Unexpected delight. The food choices were great, many options. It was delicious food and beautifully presented. The staff were all friendly. We were sitting outside as we had our dog with us, but were told it was fine to bring him upstairs as it looked like it might rain. Proper food made by a proper chef.

Highly recommend this gem of a pub for Sunday lunch. Our Family of four arrived at the The Farmers Arms after a long journey back from North Wales. The meals were absolutely amazing! Both Adult and Children’s sized portions area available. Beef, Pork or Lamb or a nut roast were on the menu. Prices were clearly shown for one, two or three courses. We decided on beef and pork the meals were fantastic, served piping hot, the meat melted in your mouth, potatoes were tasty as was the gravy (extra gravy was served in a boat) vegetables broccoli, peas, carrots and cauliflower cheese were brought in serving dishes to help yourself all piping hot and cooked to perfection. The staff serving were very friendly and the toilets clean - cannot recommend a stop to eat at this pub enough - would give more stars if available!

We stayed at the hotel for several days. Originally we were going to sample the local restaurants, but having eaten in on our first night, we decide otherwise. Thoroughly recommended!

I know this place has some great reviews: maybe we got it on a bad day, maybe there are staff issues - but it was disappointing The restaurant area was very low on atmosphere The drink selection was disappointing (“red or white” was per much the only selection; despite being “cider mill” and in an area with lovely local ciders there were only two mainstream brands. The food was average pub grub (steak, burger, fish & chips). My burger was tasty (good quality meat) but the chicken was very over cooked. Staff were very pleasant but inexperienced and not very competent. It is a shame: country pubs are closing and We could do with more. I feel disloyal and I hope that They can “up the game”. But unless it changes I would not go back; there are other better pubs in Bwlch, Crickhowell, and surrounding areas.
