Viewed from Castle Square. The hotel has 40 bedrooms, 4 function rooms, a bar and a restaurant. The Norman Brecon Castle had long been a ruin when the Morgan family of Tredegar Park (near Newport in Monmouthshire), who had extensive Breconshire connections, turned their attention to the castle and the house adjoining. Work on repairing the house began in 1809. During the next few years much money was spent turning the house into a hotel. By 1835 many stagecoaches called here, including journeys to London on the Royal Mail, to Aberystwyth, Bristol, Carmarthen, and Llandrindod.
