The King’s Head

A Historic Coaching Inn in the Brecon Beacons

Set on the cobbled market square in the heart of Llandovery, The King’s Head is a welcoming four-star inn offering comfortable accommodation, local food and drink, and a true Welsh sense of hospitality. Once the home of the Bank of the Black Ox, this 17th-century coaching inn blends period charm with modern comfort — making it the perfect base for exploring Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

Inside, the rooms combine character features such as crooked floors and exposed beams with thoughtful modern touches. Guests can enjoy en-suite facilities, Wi-Fi, Freeview TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and bottled water. A full cooked breakfast is included with every stay, and a ground-floor room provides easier access for guests with disabilities. Family rooms and free on-site parking are also available.

The on-site restaurant and bar are known for serving fresh, locally sourced food and a great choice of Welsh ales — perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the National Park. With conference facilities, pet-friendly rooms, and warm, attentive service, The King’s Head captures the spirit of a traditional inn while offering everything today’s traveller needs for a comfortable stay.
