Set in stunningly beautiful Welsh Borders countryside, on the fringes of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Black Mountains form a magnificent backdrop to  Allt Yr Ynys Country Hotel (pronounced‘alt-ur-inis), a converted 16th century manor house offering a comprehensive range of resort facilities which has undergone extensive refurbishment both throughout the public areas and in many of the rooms following a flood in late 2008.

The Stunning Brecon Beacons

If you seek tranquillity, rest and beauty, then look no further.  Lush lawned gardens lead down to the River Monnow fronting the hotel which, together with the Elizabethan Knot Garden in the walled gardens at the rear of the hotel create a simply perfect venue for your leisure break, conference, wedding or party, as well as for restaurant or informal dining.
