The hotel was unique and quirky, the decor was completely different to anything else and a lot of thought and effort had gone into the individuality of the rooms! Bed was so comfy and the rain shower was so refreshing…..after a long wet walk up Pen Y Fan it was more than appreciated! Had a breakfast and an evening meal in the Peny Cae Inn, which we couldn’t fault in anyway, the food was amazing and the staff were so attentive and welcoming it was lovely!! Overall a truly wonderful stay and would highly reccomend!

Great place to stay

I have stayed at the Sleeping Giant several times. All the rooms are superb, and having a great restaurant is a bonus. I have stayed in different rooms; the bigger ones are really special. All have air conditioning and outdoor sitting areas. The area around is also stunning.
