The Markets Tavern is an impressive pub in the heart of Brecon, a traditional market town surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park – a hugely popular destination for visitors year-round. The town benefits from a strong local community and attracts tourists who come to explore its walking trails, outdoor activities, and historic charm. Brecon is also home to the world-famous Brecon Jazz Festival, which draws over 60,000 visitors each year. The town enjoys excellent transport links, with regular bus services connecting to Abergavenny, Hereford, and Cardiff, and easy access from the A40 and A470, making it convenient for both locals and tourists to reach.
Upon entering the pub, guests are welcomed into a spacious main bar area featuring ample loose seating that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. To the right of the bar, a dedicated dining area serves hotel guests as a breakfast room in the mornings and transitions seamlessly into a vibrant lunch and dinner space throughout the week. At the far end of the bar lies a designated darts area with multiple oches, alongside a corridor leading to the toilets. This section can also be adapted as an overflow dining area during busier periods. In total, the pub accommodates around 60 covers, and the restaurant can be closed off for private functions or events, providing an excellent opportunity to boost revenue.
The Market Tavern offers nine well-maintained letting rooms, which have been upgraded to a high standard and well well-maintained. Accommodation includes one single room, one family room with an en suite, two double rooms with en suites, and five double rooms with shared bathroom facilities. The rooms are currently promoted on external booking platforms such as Booking.com.
To the rear, a large garden with a staged area offers the perfect setting for live music and outdoor events, attracting both locals and visitors during the warmer months. The property also benefits from an on-site car park with space for approximately 10 vehicles, with additional capacity available at a nearby pay-and-display car park. Completing the offer are nine well-appointed letting rooms, providing a steady third income stream and enhancing the pub’s year-round appeal.
The private accommodation consists of two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, a bathroom, a living space or office and a kitchen.
