Simple, clean and comfortable room. The host, Claire, was wonderful - great communication and she went out of her way to help me out during my stay (providing advice on local activities, storing bags, drying some wet clothes). Breakfast was excellent.

The location was convenient and the price was reasonable, which is the reason I had booked. There are places to eat nearby, according to google maps.

All of the Staff were very friendly and lovely, and the food was so nice. The Welsh Breakfast was very tasty, used good quality local ingredients. We had Scallops to start which were cooked to perfection. My partner had the Cod which was so succulent and full of flavour with a good portion. I had the monkfish which was a little over and the portion of the overall dish was small for the price, but the taste was lush! We didnt use the pool area but it looked nice from outside!
Perfectly situated within the Valley and on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the hotel’s location allows easy access to many of the sites of interest in the area.

This guesthouse is fantastic. Very close to the town and if you drive there is plenty of street parking. Everything about the room was lovely. Comfy beds and very clean. The room I was given had a kitchen with stove and washing machine...a nice surprise. Absolutely no complaints .

Definitely need a car to get around this area.
Definitely need a car to get around this area. Not quite the luxury I was looking for. Accomodation and breakfast where I stayed was fairly basic. Quite limited in eating out options too.
Managed to walk the Pen y Fan which was the highlight of my stay here.

Nice town with some lovely places to go for a drink and a bite to eat. Friendly bar with live music at the weekend. Also there is a Wetherspoon. The Zip World was only a 30 min drive away and is fantastic. Great scenery and walks near by.

Only stayed 2 days and then was at an event so not enough time to explore. However on an evening plenty of places to eat and drink. Tesco Extra and range of other shops incl. Saturday street market. Train and bus transport hub, and plenty of places to explore a short distance away.

Liked the fact it has good public transport links to the Brecon Beacons the town itself looks a bit run down in places like many these days but had everything we needed with lots of things to do nearby. We enjoyed climbing Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, visiting Lyn Cwm Llwch, walking along parts of the Taff Trail, visiting The Brecon Mountain Railway, Cyfarthfa Castle and park as well as things further a field.

Great places to visit. We where only there for two nights. We enjoyed the waterfalls and the steam train ride. There are plenty of places to eat out.
We saw lots of cyclists whilst traveling in our car. Found the area very dog friendly which suited us .

Centre -lovely trails and views.
Also the Brecon Beacons were within easy reach.
We ate at Nant Ddu the first night and shared 3 tasty side dishes between us.
Not too far from 3 near locations where my Dad was born and lived in Penwhriceiber, Cefn Pennar and Mountain Ash. Able to visit as near.
The space was really comfortable and had everything I needed, including toilet, shower, sink, kitchen, a choice of bunk beds and a sofa bed. There was also a large screen TV with Netflix and Sky, and I believe there was a BBQ area and somewhere to lock your MTB, if you came here for Bike Park Wales. There were a good selection of breakfast items waiting for me in the kitchen along with tea and coffee. There were two electric heaters within the room which which kept it very warm.

The house was perfect for what we needed.
Lovely and clean.
Communication from the owner was brilliant with clear instructions for contactless check-in.
The security was brilliant, especially with us bringing bikes as we were attending Bike Park Wales.
Lovely comfy beds and the house had all the little facilities that you forget you need but really appreciate.
Cannot recommend enough and will be staying here in future rather than using a chain hotel we usually stay with.
Very homely cosy apartment, nicely situated next to the river and close to shops. Neil is fantastic, and really helpful. We stayed at Station House as we were visiting family in Merthyr Tydfil for Christmas. As well as off street parking, you also have access to a garage, so I imagine this would be a really great property if your visiting Bike Park Wales and it’s also very close to the Taff Trail. Great stay and will definitely return next time we are visiting family.
Location in South Wales is good; there are main roads nearby that link you to bigger towns and the mountains. There are ample fuel stations and big shops/supermarkets nearby. The room was clean and had supplies of towels etc. Communication from the owners was good (although the 'suggestions' emails could have been cut down a little - one would have been OK). The property had free parking available in a large car park behind the property. Shower was fine.
The food at the hotel was wonderful, from breakfast to evening meals. Very tasty and worth the money. The room looked a bit dated, but was clean. We didn't book a spa treatment but had access to the pool and this was quiet the whole time we were there so we were able to get a lounger each day with no problem. Easy access to Pen y Fan, Brecon town, and routes to Cardiff Neath and Swansea.
The area was quiet and free parking at the back of the hotel..the room was basic but well equipped for my needs. The shower was tall enough for me(I'm 6ft5) and water pressure was great..The TV was great and the single bed was very comfortable..the breakfast was fabulous and the staff very attentive but not obtrusive. This is my second time at Antelope Hotel and I will be back..
Loved the amount of space you get for parking and open space. Bike lockup was spot on and not noticable. Living room was great so was the kitchen. Bedrooms were spot on with a large bathroom. Location was fantastic. 10 minutes from BPW. Nice and quiet high up in the hills. We didn't struggle with takeaways. We'll definitely be back next year.
This is a fantastic property to stay in. We loved the quirkiness, the games room was fantastic, the outdoor area was lovely, the beds were super comfy and the quality of the linen and towels equal to a hotel stay, plus dogs are welcome. Finally the home grown honey from the owners bees was a beautiful touch. We will definitely return.
The room was very spacious, had a lovely ensuite too! There was a slight issue but the owners were super helpful so can't critisze them for that! There was onsite parking and it was a short drive to lots of great walks/activities. Breakfast was gorgeous! And the bed was something of a dream :)
The house was big and spacious for us and very clean.The location was also good because its near the place we wanted to visit and it's walking distance to the shops and takeaway..The host was also very helpful.I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit South of wales
Nice little cottage, plenty of room inside. Spacious back yard. Comfy beds. We only used it to store bikes and sleep in during the evening. It's approx 3 miles from Merthyr Tydfil high street. Local Londis two minute walk away.
Location was perfect for the Brecon Beacons and Bike Park Wales activities.
Bedroom and bathroom were very clean and tidy.
Breakfast was fantastic - many options available.
Staff was friendly and welcoming
Perfectly placed for bike park Wales, cheaper than any of the other hotels around there. Also allowed us to bring the bikes indoors over night providing secure storage. For the money it was bang on.
