Tradition

The
Three Cocks Hotel and Restaurant
is a fine specimen
of a spacious, rambling country hostelry. It stands on the
road but preserves its dignity by being sufficiently withdrawn
behind its cobbled forecourt and having private gardens
to the rear. It has extremely spacious, well-equipped accommodation,
giving it a traditional yet comfortable ambience. Guests
are invited to relax in the cosy and welcoming surroundings
of this charming family-run Hotel. There is a warmth and
quiet courtesy about the Hotel that combines friendly and
attentive service with a measure of discretion.
This
substantial Hotel, a listed property believed to date from
the 15th Century, was for many years a coaching inn on the
main Hereford to Brecon road. Three Cocks was also an important
junction of the Hereford, Hay & Brecon Railway with
the Mid Wales Railway in the golden years of steam. Nowadays,
it retains this convenient position with fast and easy access
to all the local towns and attractions.
This makes it the perfect base for sampling the riches of
Powys, Mid Wales and the border country of Herefordshire
and Shropshire.

Superb location
The Hotel is ideally situated on
the A438 Brecon to Hereford Road, a major tourist route
linking the Midlands with Mid Wales and the West Wales coastal
resorts beyond. As such it is easily accessible from all
areas and for experiencing an astonishing range of cultural
and recreational activities. The Hotel is less than five
miles from the historic town of Hay-on-Wye and ten miles
from Brecon.
Hay-on-Wye
is renowned for its second hand bookshops and antiques centres,
as well as the annual Hay-on-Wye
Literary Festival. The lively and historic town of Brecon
attracts visitors of all persuasions and especially Jazz
enthusiasts to its summer
festival. The surrounding countryside is rightly famed
for its outstanding natural beauty and the Hotel is an excellent
centre for exploring the Brecon
Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains and the
beautiful Wye Valley, all of which are only a short drive
away.

of fine local produce and home-cooked dishes. The Restaurant,
with its à la carte and regular menus, offers outstanding
cuisine and fine wines and bottled beers in a delightful
setting.
