Highland Moors

We stayed for a cycling weekend and Sue was not only friendly but couldn't do enough for us! Hot showers, cold beers and a burger fit to feed two hungry cyclists. Thanks so much for you hospitality and support and we look forward to coming back!

We stayed at the Highland Moors overnight in August 2023. Online checks suggested it would be an interesting place to visit, in a good location just south of Llandrindod Wells, easy to find and with plenty of parking; and so it proved. Greeted at the front door by a gentleman in overalls waving a paint brush, we knew this must be Jeff, who, with his wife Sue, has spent the last 20 years restoring this dignified building to its former grand state and giving it a new lease of life. They have made a particular point of retaining as many of the original features as possible, and while some of these may not be to every guest’s liking (e.g., the plumbing, radiators, vintage door locks, etc), we certainly loved staying here. Most important, however, the guest house is a very ‘human’ place to stay. Sue seemed very happy to chat with us and pass on information about the house and town - fortunately for us, there were only a few other guests staying that night! We were offered a choice of rooms at check-in, and in the early evening had a lovely meal in the dining room. We had ordered our meals the previous day before we left home, and because I had mentioned an intolerance to onions Sue had very kindly made a separate portion of the plum sauce (on chicken) with no onion content. How considerate is that! Breakfast was also very good the following morning. No doubt some visitors would prefer to stay in an ultra-modern place with loads of gadgets and a huge TV screen in the room, but a few months ago when we stayed in such a hotel in mainland Europe, there seemed to be very little human interaction encouraged between staff and guests – everything depended on having the appropriate ‘App’ on your mobile phone to get any information – even one to help you sleep better! We know which kind of hotel we prefer, and where we feel more relaxed and comfortable. Thank you for a very pleasant stay, Sue & Jeff!

Both Sue and Jeff are awesome hosts, couldn't do enough for me at all. Very clean and super friendly. My room was clean, fresh and as modern as an old town house could be. I was here at a very low point in my life but Sue and Jeff picked me up and pointed me in all the right directions. I'd 100% stay for a break or minni holiday any time. I miss these two and the amazingly pretty town of Llandrindod Wells. P.s sorry for the late review, I only went and rated you on Google maps instead of here and just got a notification now lol, so thought I'd come on here and leave another one 🤣. Ahhh almost forgot, the fresh food (breakfast) is to die for. Would love to get back in touch one day, love to you both always Craig 😊
