The Felin Fach Griffin

Felin Fach Griffin, Brecon, Powys, small inn

The relaxed atmosphere is liked at this old inn, on the edge of a village on the main road between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains. It is run as a dining pub by Charles Inkin (who trained at Ballymaloe cookery school in Irelands) and his brother Edmund. 'We remain a local pub at heart,' say the brothers; their manager is Julie Bell. Ross Bruce was promoted to head chef in spring 2011, with a brief to provide more choice for vegetarians and to upgrade the children's menu. The inn's organic kitchen garden supplies vegetables and soft fruit. The bedrooms are simply furnished (some are small but 'well designed'). They have a Roberts radio, fresh flowers, local art and photography. 'Carefully chosen' background music is played much of the day (Radio 4 at breakfast). Usk valley apple juice, home-made soda bread and eggs from hens in the garden are served at breakfast. Dogs are welcomed (they can sit in designated eating areas). Max, the resident dog, is 'available for games'. The brothers also own The Gurnard's Head, Zennor (see entry). More reports, please.

The Felin Fach Griffin provided the most extraordinary haven in a storm - literally, for a family depressed by a week's exceptionally damp camping holiday. I cannot sing its praises high enough - wonderful rooms, fabulous food, comfortable and just ridiculously welcoming (and with an excellent selection of both gin and beer behind the bar, and a delicious Pedro Ximenez sherry post-dinner). They dried our wet stuff in the boiler room, fed our four-year-old beans on toast and strawberry ice cream in the bar at 5.30pm, added fish and chips to the menu for the boys and relaid our table with candles and dessert for two after we'd put all offspring to bed. Breakfast at the communal table, with a dog by our toes and toast on the Aga sent us all off to continue our camping trip in an entirely cheerful frame of mind. Our stay remains a precious memory to all of us. And of course it is in the most beautiful part of the world - even in a rain storm.
