Our accommodation was conveniently located in the village of Gilwern. A comfortable quiet room with an excellent breakfast in the morning. It was ideal for our needs.

Absolutely Awesome!!! We knew from the moment we walked in that we were headed for a lovely stay! Hosts are outstanding! Friendly, caring, intelligent, helpful, etc, etc! Even fixed our GPS!!! The breakfast was picture-perfect, excellently prepared, and absolutely delicious with a wide assortment of options! The room and bath were 'squeaky' clean, attractively furnished, amply supplied, and spacious! I could go on and on, but by now you know that if we are ever in the area, we will definitely stay here again! We did not want to leave! They made us feel special - better than family!

Excellent stay with Kelvin & Meryl , a very warm welcome over a cafetière of coffee in the kitchen. The room was excellent with a large wall mounted tv complete with streaming services. Coffee & Tea making facilities with a bonus packet of welshcakes. Nice large shower with nice toiletries. Breakfast was exceptional , we had full cooked with toast , orange juice , tea & coffee. Obviously quality ingredients cooked perfectly. Would definitely stay again.

Great host who helped in numerous ways. Very difficult to find until you figure the Street name in Expedia is in Welsh and Sat Nav eventually found it. The locals in the area had no idea where it was and then could not give clear instructions. A sign at the street entrance beside the Gas Station would be helpful plus another on the specific B and B. The host helped park the car as very difficult entry. Fascinating old MIll Town and good pub.

We booked 2 double rooms for a night and were delighted with the location, simple and sufficient rooms and sumptuous breakfast - all delivered by a friendly and eager host, keen to share ideas and inputs on the area when we asked. Great security and room locks with upgraded tv service. Ask for glasses if you want a drink in your room - he is more than willing to help make your stay even better.

Great B&B in a friendly village
Mel and Kel were truly welcoming offering a cup of tea on arrival after a long journey. The room was a decent size and very clean (only miss for us was no chairs to sit on). Breakfast was delicious and with good quality ingredients cooked fresh, and some premium touches like vine tomatoes in a balsamic sauce and the alternative of smoked salmon, asparagus and caviar with poached egg In hollandaise. Gilwern is handy for the Brecon Beacons, the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal and the world heritage site at Blaenavon; it has some nice pubs for dinner / drinks.

Lovely Experience
This property is wonderful. The host, Kel, and hostess, Mel, were delightful and extremely friendly and helpful, throughout my stay in the Beacons. Offering guidance on my cycling activities. Kel cooks one of the finest breakfasts i have experienced. I woke up this morning dreaming of his smoked salmon with asparagus, hollandaise and poached egg. Alas, my own kitchen offed only cornflakes! Mill Lodge is well placed to explore the beacons. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody

Super hosts and an amazing breakfast!
Kel & Mel were the perfect hosts and could not have been more helpful during our stay. Kel's knowledge of the area (he's also a photographer, and therefore knows exactly where to go) was worth its weight in gold, and barely a breakfast went by where we didn't leave the table armed with a (hand-drawn!) map of where we were heading that day - invariably with lots of additional info that you can't glean from Google! His breakfasts, too, were superb! Fantastic produce and utterly delicious. If you're planning on exploring the Brecon Beacons, Mill Lodge is THE place to stay.

Faultless experience!
Absolutely loved Mill Lodge - fantastic hosts who went above and beyond. Such a good destination for exploring the Brecon Beacons and a really comfortable place to come back to. Added to that one of the best breakfasts I have had at a BnB or hotel - we were stuffed by the end and had to climb a mountain just to walk it off. I would 100% recommend Mill Lodge and will be returning in the future!
