Foodies flock to the 'Golden Triangle' between Brecon, Abergavenny and Hay-on-Wye, where an unprecedented number of outstanding restaurants have sprung up in the last 15 years. To keep the competition on its toes another has recently joined the club &endash; Llanwenarth, a restaurant with rooms in the Usk Valley between Abergavenny and Crickhowell. Llanwenarth's immediate success (it was buzzing with customers a few short weeks after opening) is down to a straightforward, unpretentious approach &endash; good food, a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy it, and excellent value for money. Llanwenarth's new owners, Richard Wallace and Jon West, are experienced, highly successful restaurateurs. They know what works. The look and layout of the spacious Riverside restaurant creates just the right ambience. And the restaurant's big picture windows make the most of the splendid views across the Usk. Dishes on the well-chosen menu range from simple to sophisticated, but all are defined by careful preparation and skilful cooking. The wines, too, are interesting and reasonably priced, and service is spot on (the staff are engaging and well drilled, a combination that's not easy to achieve). The food isn't the only thing that has benefited from Richard and Jon's arrival. The well-equipped rooms have been upgraded with new décor and bathroom suites, and many have balconies overlooking that lovely river view. The location's good too &endash; close to the Brecon Beacons and border country (Euros) Daily Rates On Request   Beantragen Su Richiesta   "Llanwenarth", Brecon Road Wales,Great Britain Accommodations in Wales
