Possibly the oldest coaching inn in Wales, the friendly Kings Arms has its own micro brewery and an excellent restaurant serving tapas and à la carte dishes. Standing since at least 1400, the inn still has many original features. It was visited by Roundheads, Cavaliers and even King Charles II. The elegant rooms have reasonable rates and a feeling of relaxed luxury. The Kings Arms is on the edge of the Brecon Beacons and about 40 minutes from Cardiff. Newport, the site of the 2010 Ryder Cup, is 20 minutes away.
