Review 26：Pleasant approach and entry into hotel, met by very pleasant owners and made to feel instantly welcomed. Light and airy bar/lounge/dining area and pleasant room with all the expected extras. I give this a big BRAVO ZULU. Naval term meaning good/well done.

Review 30：I stayed here for one night whilst walking the Offa's Dyke Path and the quality of accommodation was exceptional. I had a double room with bath, lovely evening meal and ample vegetarian breakfast which, together with a friendly host, means full marks without a doubt.
Review 31：Just loved this place. Only 4 rooms so nice and intimate. The host was delightful and the meals were fabulous. Had to call to get directions but if you put the postcode in the gps it will take you straight to it. Loved everything about it. Out of town so no noise. Perfect
Review 32：Nothing to not like
Review 33：There is a lovely family feel to The Rising Sun, the rooms were faultless, the food was delicious and a very warm welcome from the hosts, Tracey and Mark
Review 34：Bit picky but would have liked a chair in the room. Also a shelf in the bathroom would have saved having to balance toileteries on the sinkcomcom
Review 35：Rooms were very clean. Shower was good. Everything well maintained
Review 36：Nothing I could pick fault with
Review 37：I travel with my job and I'm away from home often. I can honestly say this is by far the best value for money I have experienced as a solo traveller.
Review 38：Although we arrived early, the owner Tracey came out to the car park and greeted us. The room was spacious, clean and warm on a very cold weekend. It had a lovely bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The bar and restaurant area was warm and welcoming. The food at night and at breakfast was really good. Tracey was very helpful and attentive during our stay. The hotel is easy to find with very good parking. A return visit is a must. A 5 star establishment, with 5 star owners.
Review 39：Very nice helpful owner and the room I had was large, clean and very modern. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Probably the best breakfast that I have had in a hotel all year. I would recommend this hotel to anybody needing accommodation in this part of Wales.
Review 40：Everything - the Rising Sun is simply the best B&B I have stayed at in many a long year. Excellent food, warm clean rooms, ample parking, ideal location and friendly owners - a great place to stay.
Review 41：the warm welcome,," you cant park here" Signs reminding you to take your shoes off.no food in room or fines. 2night stay...they check your drawers for food in the morning...its policy !!!!!
Review 42：location
Review 43：None.
Review 44：My husband and I stayed The Rising Sun for three nights while our daughter was doing her Duke of Edinburgh silver award. A warm welcome greeted us. Our bedrooms were very well furnished and the en-suit bathrooms were spotlessly clean with many fluffy towels. We enjoyed the home-made food which was plentyful. The full English breakfast was quite delicious and most generous. We cannot praise The Rising Sun too highly. Certainly we shall stay there again when we explore surounding towns and villages.
Review 45：Great location for walking in the Black Mountains. This is one of the best B&Bs I have stayed in for many a year. Very friendly owners, excellent rooms, good food - everything was high quality throughout my stay.
Review 46：Leaving Not having more time in South Wales and spending more time in local pubs in the nearby hills
Review 47：The room was brilliant and spacious Food was superb and the beer excellent. Location, just far enough from town for quiet, and close enough for convience Tracey was a most excellent host who couldn't do enough to assist us
Review 48：The caravan park was spoiling the lovely mountain view.
Review 49：The rooms were recently refurbished so everything was new, tidy and spotless. Quiet location. We didn't have hot water for a while which issue was quickly solved. Breakfast was fantastic!
Review 50：The Wi-Fi didn't work with my tablet, asking me to register to another system before I could use it
Review 51：Comfortable and well-equipped room, very friendly people, good value
Review 52：Nothing at all.
Review 53：The room was excellent bright, clean and recently decorated. It's in an excellent position for visiting the area, walking, paragliding etc. Good pub, good food and beer and run by a lovely lady.
Review 54：Poor wi-fi. When a kitchen was serving food, some smells from the kitchen's extractor were going into my room.
Review 55：Friendly staff. Good food and excellent service. Clean and quiet all-around. Comfortable bed and lovely bathroom.
Review 56：The cleanest rooms of all places I'd stayed at on my trip. Very welcoming hosts. Convenient location for cycling Lon Las Cymru Good secure storage for bicycles. Great evening meal. Good night's sleep
Review 57：The friendly welcome and helpful staff. Lovely dinner in the bar and when we asked about an alternative to dessert the staff created something to suit. The coffee in the room was really nice.
Review 58：The food was a little ordinary. Would have liked fresh tomatoes for breakfast not tinned ones.
Review 59：Friendly owners. Clean room. Good supply of tea and coffee. Nice view but did overlook caravan park as well as the hillside.
Review 60：We had some difficulty finding the place driving. We missed the sign passing the place twice and our sat nav didn't help us. Finally saw the sign going back the other direction. We really think you'd benefit from a brighter sign.
Review 61：Friendly owner, helpful, good food and worked to accommodate our vegan diets which was greatly appreciated. Lovely clean rooms with great shower. Quiet. Delicious coffee and we are coffee snobs!
Review 62：Breakfast was a bit limited - no fruit, yoghurt etc. Room was Ok but very small - fine as a single traveller but would be cramped for a couple. Fine for one or two nights, but no space to unpack or hang clothes. As other visitors have noted, the restaurant was closed on Monday nights and it was hard to find somewhere to eat - found one pub serving meals in Abergavenny. A bit stuffy on a very warm night - couldn't have the window fully open without leaving the blind up.
Review 63：Good location - on a main road but not noisy, easy to find and plenty of parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, nicely furnished. Really good effective shower. Evening meal was quite pleasant and reasonable value. Very good value - I used it as a base to visit Hay on Wye, Hereford etc. Would happily recommend it as a base for a night or two in the area.
Review 64：Orange juice- that awful from concentrate stuff! Breakfast was early at a weekend, latest was 9am. Pot of coffee rather than a single cup would have been welcome. Checkout was early- 10am
Review 65：Friendly couple, booked us a taxi. Made us feel welcome. Nice location, convenient for Abergavenny and for hiking. Nice views. Has campsite too. Pub on floor below the rooms. Rooms lovely, v comfortable. Decent toiletries, good supply of towels. Could do with being able to make more than one cup of tea per person. Complimentary bottle of water. Good speed wifi. Good portions of cooked breakfast- average quality.
Review 66：Little bit of noise from outside extractor fan.
Review 67：Warm welcome. Staff were very helpful. Room very clean, modern and tidy. Well equipped. Very good value for money.
Review 68：Lack of power points in room. No choice of cooked breakfast, all just brought out already cooked. Tea bag in a cup at breakfast, a teapot please
Review 69：Lovely large room with everything we needed. Good value evening meal.
Review 70：It's a gem of a place in a good setting. The guest rooms are new, spacious and very well equipped, bed was comfortable and the breakfast (included in the price of the room) first class. I stayed here to break a journey on business but would happily return for a holiday.
