Recently reopened and refreshed, this inn is a family-owned place with a warm family feel to it - from the staff to the local customers. We stayed for a night and wouldn't hesitate to return when in the area again as we felt welcome and cared for. The room was super clean and cosy with all the amenities and en suite bathroom, plus full breakfast included in the price. In the world of Airbnb's, the more traditional and almost outdated inn room of this standard is a rare find!

This pub is ridiculously friendly. The food is very very good. The portions are VERY generous. The local beer was also very good, (I’m a stout drinker, but the local beer was very good). An excellent example of how a pub should be run. Thank you Ian and thank you local folk who made us feel so welcome.

Out annual community Council meal decided to head to Brunant Arms this year. We couldn't be happier with how things went, a great carvery, welcoming atmosphere, reasonably priced bar and all while still having a welsh rural pub feel.

Very tasty chilli beef burger with salty grilled bacon in a toasted bun (one of the best burgers I've had!), good onion rings. Great Belgian chocolate pudding. Friendly capable service.

This little gem is amazing! Must check before visiting as not always open and not always doing food but has a fine reputation for Sunday carvery. Cosy inside with a mix of seating and an array of great ciders as well as a local ale on draught and other lagers.

This is a lovely local pub. We go for a Sunday lunch here fairly regularly. The carvery is extremely popular and you need to book to ensure you get a table. Food is of a very good quality and the staff are friendly. It's a place in the middle of nowhere, ideal for a countryside getaway. Plenty to do in the surrounding areas if you're into the outdoors. They offer rooms here, so a good base to start your Welsh adventure.
