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 accomodation

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.

Lovely but no bathroom privacy

Very stylish apartment and comfortable bed with good amenities and supplies. The only downside is that the toilet just has a stable door, with no other door between bathroom and bedroom. So not much privacy in that regard. The lights are also quite complicated with a blue light on the switch that permanently flashes. Otherwise a lovely stay with a nice pub next door.

Beautiful stay @ the sleeping giant

Our stay at the sleeping giant was amazing from start to finish, the room was beautiful had all the mod cons and was very clean and cosy, had a kettle with a variety of tea and coffee and also had bottles of water and biscuits. The shower was wonderful really warm and also had air-con in the room. We went for dinner in the pub next door the Penycae Inn , the service was wonderful all staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, food was really good, Anthony and staff were amazing definitely will come back in the future, also had a mini zoo onsite and only a short drive from a beautiful waterfall walk 10 stars from the kids and ourselves.

Amazing place to stay

Absolutely beautiful accommodation, everything was modern and brand new, the room was very spacious. The skylight in the ceiling was a great addition to see the stars. Thank you to Anthony the owner of the accommodation and the restaurant, was so friendly and welcoming. Nothing was to much. He is a great chef, the food was amazing. The accommodation is in a beautiful area with amazing walks, not far from attractions. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend to stay here and look forward to our return
