The castle
Built into the ruins of an 11th-century Norman fortress raised in 1093 by Bernard de Neufmarché; later a coaching inn and, from 1809, developed by Sir Charles Morgan into a hotel — often cited as the oldest hotel in Wales.
Why stay here
42 rooms wrapped around genuine medieval castle remains, including a Regency ballroom attached to the ruined Great Hall, with views over the Brecon Beacons and the River Usk.
