4- and 5-star hotels in Llandovery
This shortlist is for travellers who want a high-rated base in a small Brecon Beacons town, whether for a weekend break, a walking trip or a family stay.
Staying in Llandovery
Llandovery is a small market town in the Brecon Beacons, with the shops and inns of the centre clustered around Market Square and Stone Street. These hotels sit in and around that core: several addresses name Market Square, Stone Street or Kings Road, while others are in the surrounding countryside at Penygaer, Bwlchmaenllwyd Farm in Siloh, Cilycwm, Penywaun and Cynghordy. That mix means you can choose between stepping out of your door into the town or staying in a quieter rural spot a short drive away. The town suits couples on a short break, walkers and riders using the Beacons, and families who want space. The New White Lion and The Bear Inn are 4-star with ratings of 4.9 and 4.5 from 64 and 392 reviews. The King's Head and Castle Hotel are 4-star with 4.4 and 4.2 from 537 and 854 reviews.
