Stayed for 1 night here after spending the day seeing the elan valley dam's and can honestly say it's a fabulous place to stay. Claerwen room is where we stayed and it was a good size with an enormous comfortable bed. Staff were lovely and friendly and the breakfast outstanding. The little shop that sells gifts and souvenirs is all at a good price too. Will definitely return.

Great place to stay in Elan Valley , a good base for exploring the whole area and many dams, very comfortable room, small gift shop. Super friendly hotel staff ,we have heard the Sunday lunches are very good and it's best to book your table early, there is a small cafe on site which sells afternoon teas and cakes which is always a popular break for hikers.Our host Em was very cheerful and always happy to chat with , great stay , great hotel ,if your in this area find them out it's a great place to stay for a few days

"While touring the surrounding scenery, you can take a break here and enjoy a comfortable lunch. The staff is very friendly, the service is excellent, the place is clean, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. There are also some unique souvenirs. If I have the time next time, I will definitely consider staying here."

We turned up all muddy having been mountain biking all morning, but we were really welcomed. The staff were friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much bother.The tuna sandwiches with crisps on the side were very tasty, I'd recommend this venue for sure!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Penbont House managed to accommodate at the last minute for an unplanned visit to friends who live near by. The accommodation was fantastic, staff attentive and friendly and breakfast was excellent (as promised). The location is outstanding, it is indeed remote but I can see that as being an attraction to walkers & ramblers. Would definitely stay again & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend friends and family.

Second visit and was not disappointed. Took out daughter and granddaughter for a treat whilst on holiday. A real friendly welcome from All the staff. What can I say about the Afternoon Tea. So fresh. So much. So good. No not good. An Excellent Tea. One of the best we’ve had. The price is so good also. Would recommend it to anyone.

Stopped here on the way back to Craig Goch Dam. We got some drinks and a Gluten Free Brownie, it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Lovely B & B which is part of the Tearooms. Staff were great - really friendly and helpful - Scott and Em! The tearooms are closed Tuesday and Wednesdays, Em was there to greet us on the Wednesday for our B&B reservation, so no problems. Do bear this in mind if you want to book an evening platter, they are not available on the days that the tearooms are closed. We did have a platter on the Thursday evening, which was excellent! This is left prepared and covered in the tearooms, which you have access to. Breakfast was superb! Cereals, fruit, yoghurts, toast - followed by a cooked breakfast of your choice, all delicious and generous. We stayed in Caban Cosh, which was small but perfectly formed! Spotlessly clean and a great shower. Bottled water supplied daily. There are some lovely walks from the tearooms too. We really enjoyed our stay here and plan to return! Thank you Scott, Em and the cook - who we didn't meet but provides great food.....and freshly baked cakes in the tearooms! Highly recommend.

Total peace & quiet, no mobile signal and very limited internet connection via free WiFi, perfect!! Excellent 2 night stay while walking in the area Comfortable clean room with en-suite facilities Breakfast was plentiful, excellent with good choice of cereals, yogurt and fruit, the cooked full Welsh, WOW !!! The B&B do not do evening meals but do offer a pre booked ploughman’s platter, again excellent and value for money. Didn’t try the hot food served in the tearooms during the day (too full from breakfast ?) did try the cakes served throughout the day with a good pot of tea after walks , again excellent. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay great, we will return

After a very enjoyable walk along the reservoir we were delighted to find this establishment to have a light lunch. The cleanliness of the place is first rate and the location superb. We only required soup/sandwich/cake/tea and it was beautifully served and very efficiently too. Congratulations to everybody 'behind the scene '.

I went to the tearooms first a work meeting. We had a lovely room with tea and coffee. In the afternoon we had an afternoon tea. I’m vegan and didn’t have high expectations but wow!! Sandwiches, falafel, ‘sausage’ roll, trifle, scone with ‘cream’ & jam and three different cakes. Absolutely stunning. The ‘normal’ and vegetarian afternoon teas looked great too. Staff were fantastic . Really can’t recommend it enough.
