The hotel was unique and quirky, the decor was completely different to anything else and a lot of thought and effort had gone into the individuality of the rooms! Bed was so comfy and the rain shower was so refreshing…..after a long wet walk up Pen Y Fan it was more than appreciated! Had a breakfast and an evening meal in the Peny Cae Inn, which we couldn’t fault in anyway, the food was amazing and the staff were so attentive and welcoming it was lovely!! Overall a truly wonderful stay and would highly reccomend!

Great place to stay

I have stayed at the Sleeping Giant several times. All the rooms are superb, and having a great restaurant is a bonus. I have stayed in different rooms; the bigger ones are really special. All have air conditioning and outdoor sitting areas. The area around is also stunning.

Excellent location to visit many parts of Bannu and waterfalls.The room was an excellent size, clean and to a high standard. The bed was so comfortable, no issues at all. There is a lovely little zoo which is free to walk around and there is a pub which serves food; breakfast is available at an extra charge. Highly recommend, will return.

Excellent!!

An absolute gem of a find. Beautifully designed and finished to the highest spec. Everything you could ever need. Pub on site which has such a warm friendly environment with excellent food. The Zoo is worth a visit and free too (donations to support it). Great for walks. The waterfalls are spectacular. We will definitely be back.
