Sakae Paradise Resort

Winter Escape was absolutely wonderful. We had a 2 night stay.
The room was lovely, a comfy large bed in a toasty warm room with a fab shower room. Tea/ coffee and a Welsh cake on arrival, really lovely attention to detail.
Plenty of room for our dogs crate / bed. 
Very dog friendly and accommodating. 

The meals were delicious and great service too. We had the veggie Sunday Lunch, which was possibly the best Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long time and dinner the following evening. 
We had a great walk in the Brecons which was stunning.
Thoroughly recommend the Felin Fach Griffin either for a meal or an overnight stay.

We had been given a recommendation to this place several times, but only just recently visited for two nights. It is gorgeous, and so thoughtfully run and designed. The food and wine menus were brilliant - great locally sourced ingredients, simple but really tasty cooking, and enough choice but not too much. Eating there is a real treat, and afterwards you can relax in front of a log fire and enjoy a quiet drink. The grounds are extensive, and the whole place is dog-friendly. The staff were outstanding - friendly, knowledgeable, happy to help in every way. It was a lovely experience.

We had a wonderful time. We have visited a few times over the years , usually with a dog but this time just us. Very welcoming and friendly people here. A nice room and bathroom. Great food ion both evenings with a good varied menu. Good cocktails too.

The Felin Fach Griffin is the very place should you need good beer, great food, the most hospitable of staff and an easy leather chair beside a relaxing glowing log fire.  It’s now on our go-to list as a weekend bolthole for a chill…And Basil and Boris and Billy like it too !!

We stayed here to celebrate my birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The room was lovely with a very comfy bed, the food was absolutely delicious and the staff were extremely good - both friendly and professional. There are lots of little touches which make this an exceptional stay - fresh milk for the room, huge fluffy towels, luxurious bathroom products, and quirky, interesting decor. This is also a place which is truly dog friendly, not just dog tolerant. As we took our dog with us we had a doggy welcome pack in the room including treats, towels and poo bags as well as a water dish and a throw to cover the bed. At meal times we were given a quiet corner table as our dog can be anxious, and the staff were really sensitive - friendly but not crowding us. I'm surprised that some reviewers said the food wasn't as good as it used to be as ours was perfect - extremely tasty, beautifully presented and seasonal. We're always a bit disappointed if we have a meal and think that we could have cooked something as good ourselves but the food we had at the Griffin was really top chef quality and we definitely couldn't have replicated it ourselves.

We found it in a number of carefully-compiled selections, so our expectations were already pretty high but they managed to exceed them. 

The hotel is comfortable, clean and quiet. It provides you with all the basic amenities you need when you are back from a day of hiking in a warm, welcoming and familiar environment. 

There is a nice outdoor area or a beautiful lounge inside to have your tea or beer. 

They have a restaurant on-site which is highly recommended, and half-board accommodation is available. It is often described as a gastro-pub, but as far as I am concerned a number of their Michelin-starred "competitors" should drop by here and take notes. They offer variety and quality, both in the locally-sourced ingredients and in the way the dishes are made and presented. 

The service is efficient and kind.

This place is strategically-located to access some of the activities within Brecon Beacons. With an easy drive you can reach Pont ar Daf, the National Trust parking for the Pen-Y-Fan hiking (you can start the hike there and close a loop in another parking nearby). Always with an easy drive you can reach the Black Mountains circuit, which is a 50-mile tour through nice villages, Norman ruins and ancient woods.

We recently stopped by the Felin Fach Griffin for lunch on our way to the Brecon Beacons.  This was a wonderfully cosy Welsh pub (with rooms) - we were quickly welcomed upon arrival and shown to our table.  Service was warm and professional.  The food was several notches above what would be on offer even at a good gastopub - and coupled with the setting made for a thoroughly enjoyable late lunch.  We will definitely return!

Pretty perfect really.
Huge room with two bathrooms and easily accommodated two extra beds for the kids.
Dinner and breakfast included in the price meant it was pretty cheap too.
The food at both dinner and breakfast was as good as I've had in a pub.
Wine list done with love with plenty of classics and quirky bottles.
Great pin of cask ale in the bar.
Nice staff - everything pretty effortless.
And let me charge my car for free too.
Will go back


We stayed for 2 nights dinner bed and breakfast. We also took our Cocker Spaniel with us and he was made to feel very welcome in our room and the restaurant. The room was very comfy and even had covers on the seat for our dog, it was very warm but we were staying on the hottest weekend of the year. It was a great base for exploring and walking in the Brecon Beacons. The highlight however was the food, it was some of the best food we have ever tasted and the side dishes fri the kitchen garden were wonderful, my wife is still talking about the tomato salad we shared with our Hake and Louise’s Cauliflower based vegetarian main. The other evening we had the steak and the cod loin again perfect. The beer and wine were also really good and a great selection.
We will definitely be back.

I highly recommend this hotel and restaurant. The bedrooms are lovely with small attention to detail such as ground coffee and a cafetière in the room. The bed was so comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious and lots of options for a picky eater and coeliac. Friendly and approachable staff who went above and beyond to look for my wife’s lost phone (we found it). Dog friendly too and again attention to detail with poo bags and feed bowls in the hallway.

Wonderful Winter Break with our dog

An exceptionally beautiful and restful place to spend a few days

A wonderful birthday treat.

Superb hotel, restaurant and pub

Good food; nice setting

Really pretty perfect -both room and dinner

Wonderful food and great accommodation.

On the strength of a Daily Telegraph review of The Griffin we booked back in March for a stay on their special deal for September. Two nights in a comfortable room with three course dinner each night. We were not disappointed. They have an excellent creative chef with daily tweaks to the menu on offer. We couldn't fault the food on either night, although on the second night the portions defeated us leaving no room to test the sweets. Beds comfortable but the hotel is on a main road, and even with a room at the back it is noisy.  The rooms are well equipped and most comfortable.
The staff were most welcoming and made every effort to please. The wine list is well marked up but there are some cheaper  options to try. 

One tip - check your bills. We were overcharged £140 - partly picked up by me before paying but the other amount was picked up very quickly when the person responsible for accounts checked in later in the morning. An email of apology was waiting on our return that lunchtime. All sorted the same day - but we finished up with items from other guests charged to our bill. It was hard on the person trying to serve breakfasts and deal with accounts - perhaps someone needs to be on duty a little earlier to deal with guest accounts so this doesn't happen again.  This small matter won't prevent us from visiting the Griffin again - if just for a wonderful well presented and tasty evening meal.

A worthwhile stopover for Brecon National Park.

Exceptional hotel- what a lucky find.

This was recommended by Debbie of The Lodge in Garthbrengy (AirBnB home) and lived up to all expectations!
The welcome was warm and friendly, the atmosphere was lovely and the decor was beautiful. Then the main reason for our visit, the food, was simply delicious and plentiful. The available choice was superb and both my wife’s & my starters and main courses were beautiful presented with fresh Al dente vegetables and perfectly cooked. The price was surprisingly reasonable given that they ticked all the boxes for a gourmet meal out.

Will definitely return if we’re back in the area.
