About

Aberglais Inn is a charming 19‑century stone‑built hostelry perched at the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, offering a warm pub and restaurant experience in a picturesque setting. The venue features a full bar with an extensive wine selection, a cosy oak bar, and a natural stone fireplace that creates a welcoming atmosphere for up to 22 guests in the bar area and 28 in the adjoining restaurant. The menu blends local and international cuisines, ensuring there is something to please every palate. The inn’s location is one of its greatest assets: it sits beside the Taf Fechan River and close to the Taff Trail (National Cycle Route 8), giving guests stunning river views and easy access to a network of woodland and river‑side walks, including the nearby Blue Pool. The surrounding Brecon Beacons landscape, with the iconic Pontsarn Viaduct and the Taf Fechan Nature Reserve, offers a tranquil backdrop for dining and exploring. Guests also enjoy a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere that welcomes both tourists and locals alike. Whether you’re winding down after a day of hiking, enjoying a weekend brunch, or looking for a cozy spot to unwind with a drink, Aberglais Inn delivers a memorable experience that combines heritage, hospitality, and natural beauty. Reservations are welcomed and can be made via the website or by contacting the inn directly. The friendly staff are ready to accommodate your needs and help you plan a visit that fits your schedule, especially during busy periods when a booking is recommended.
