Brecon Lodge

Brecon Lodge B&B is ideally located for Cardiff City Centre and the Millennium Stadium, on the west side of the city, with excellent public transport by bus and train. Yet you are just five minutes walk from the delightful seaside, and a short drive into fine open countryside. Wonderful shopping, top entertainment, premier sports events, all are easily accessed from here.

The Wales Millennium Centre ("Opera House") is just an eight minute taxi ride, and many theatre patrons are choosing to stay with us, to sample both Welsh Hospitality and Welsh Culture, whilst Brecon Lodge is also ideally situated for artistes and their managers, who need to be at the Stage Door within less than 10 minutes.

Each of our rooms is either En-Suite or with Private Bathroom, individually furnished, and all retain the charm and character of the period, when our gentleman's residence was first constructed. Carefully chosen soft furnishings, comfortable beds, good furniture and quality decor, all make your restful stay an experience to remember. Each room has colour TV, an Alarm Clock Radio, bedside lights, fully carpeted, wonderfully warm, and a Hospitality Tray with tea and coffee.

The En-Suite rooms each have a power shower and/or a luxury bath, with lashings of hot water, fluffy towels, and complimentary toiletries.

In the morning, Gaynor serves a mouth-watering Welsh Breakfast, that will keep you going until nightfall, if necessary. Fresh produce, purchased locally, and cooked whilst you wait, is the essence of Brecon Lodge's attention to detail. This will include fruit juice, a range of cereals, brown and white bread/toast, and the Full Welsh Breakfast of Black Pudding, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs and fried bread (if required), together with honey, marmalade, jams and more.

ALTERNATELY, we can now offer the Option of a Light Breakfast, Continental style, at a very competitive rate, for those watching their weight, or in a hurry to get away in the mornings. We will happily quote you for whichever Meal Option you prefer - Continental or Full. PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY - The Price Grid shows Per Person rates for Weekdays for 2 people, with a Full Welsh Cooked Breakfast. Our Continental Option is available at a lower nightly rate. Please call us for full details.

We are asked, daily, how close we are to Cardiff, and its bright lights. Well, just 15 minutes drive by fast car, fast train or fast bus, is the quick answer . Our guests can be watching rugby, football, the cinema, Welsh National Opera or a Pop concert, within a few minutes of leaving Brecon Lodge. Many guests prefer to leave their cars safely with us, and take an inexpensive ride on public transport, to the front door of Cardiff's many attractions. Why not follow them.

From "Brecon Lodge" you can also take bracing coastal walks towards Cardiff Bay, with its lively yacht marina and passing shipping, or towards Lavernock Point and Sully Island. At Lavernock, Sngr. Marconi sent the World's First Radio Signals across Water, from the farmyard to Flat Holm Island, and , a few days later, as far as Brean Down, near Weston. Sully Island has the remnants of an ancient fortress, as well as a vicious current on incoming tides, which can trap the unwary. Penarth itself is a gem of a Victorian town, largely unspoilt, and containing outstanding examples of period architecture, unrivalled in Wales.

Many of our visitors take the Penarth Town Trail, following the red footprints on a free easy to read map of the route, whist other guests jump on the first bus to the City, to sample the bright lights and local beers.

We are happily signed up to the Wales Tourist Board's Walkers and Cyclists scheme, and are pleased to welcome you on your route through the "Beautiful Vale of Glamorgan" and "The Garden by the Sea". "Brecon Lodge" is a proud Founder Member of the Vale Marketing Group and Mid Wales Tourism.
