Hotels in Brecon

Cathedral-town hotels — Beacons base, not a Hay book-town room.

Brecon hotels sit toward the high street, cathedral and canal basin — useful if you are mixing a Beacons day with town. Confirm parking; bank-holiday weekends fill. Hay book-town rooms are a different product on the same taxi table.
