You can’t fault the quality of this family business- excellent food, immaculate kitchen, traditional, clean and comfortable rooms. I wasn’t sure to be honest and I was very pleasantly surprised how good The Bear is, in every respect.

Lovely little property, very nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Plenty of space. Loads of towels which is always a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering but there are numerous places to eat out in the town or local area (Red Indigo Indian restaurant highly recommended!) The town car park is right behind the property and is only £4 a day, free after 6 pm. We left our car there on two out of our three day stay, and set out for our walks from the town. The local information centre has books with recommended routes.
Crickhowell itself is very attractive, small but quite busy with a range of cute and quirky shops. We loved Webbs the hardware/kitchenware store, CwCw which sells lovely jewellery and clothes, gifts etc and the independent bookshop which is also great!

The room was clean, the whole building very tired & worn , needs a lot of money spent on it !
Naomi was a very helpful lady she offered us a lift to the local pub which was very kind of her , very friendly & helpful !
Unfortunately the lady on the reception desk when we arrived was not so pleasant, kept talking over me which is found very frustrating.

Lovely small, vibrant town with a good atmosphere, plenty of places to eat and drink and small independent shops. Nice local history too with the Crickhowell Bridge and the ruins of the castle in town as well as being surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The Bear is very central in a delightful little town.
The Bear is very central in a delightful little town. Ample parking. We were upgraded to a bigger room which was very comfortable. The staff were outstanding. It was a well.motivated trained happy team. Always busy with guests and locals but it ran very smoothly
Kestrel Inn is well-sited and overlooks the scenic Cwmdu valley. The Inn and its rooms are clean, warm and comfortable, and the owners are welcoming with much-needed advice on places to visit and things to do. Breakfast was cooked by the owners, which we appreciated greatly, and dinners were found in the historic village of Crickhowell, which is only a 6 minute drive away. The Inn is well-placed to explore Brecon Beacons National Park by car or bicycle, with quiet country lanes starting literally over the road.
A lovely comfortable, clean and well looked after cottage. Set in a peaceful location, within a short drive to nearby towns of Crickhowell and Abergavenny. We really enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed and more, a real home from home. Modern and very well equipped kitchen. We would recommend and would love to return 😊.
Great village in wales that is very beautiful. Great location to start from if going on the Beacon canal. Was recommended by Beacon Park Boats. The in-house restaurant is superb! The pub was cosy and offered food as well. The manager at the Inn was a 10 on helping us with a variety of request . I’d return over and over !!!!!!!
Everything! Clare is a great host, location is spot on, the flat is furnished beautifully and we wanted for nothing. Loved Crickhowell, it’s stunning high street had everything. The walks with views were out of this world. It was vibrant, the pubs and food were great and the locals are so friendly. Can’t wait to come back.
Lovely period cottage, nicely decorated and the kind of holiday home I love staying in. Beds were really comfy, great bathroom and nicely decorated. Well placed close to the main area. The staff at the Dragon inn were exceptionally helpful and handy to be able to park there.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location in the small town of Crickhowell. Nearby cafes and restaurants and lovely walks. Very comfortable and spacious house. Had everything we needed and more. This is our second time here, and we'd love to return again.
A warm welcome to the Dragon Inn and check-in was completed while we had a drink in the cosy bar by the fire. Room was small but comfortable and well kitted out with toiletries, coffee, tea and biscuits. Breakfast was excellent. A very pleasant stay.
Charming hotel in a great location to explore and enjoy Crickhowell. Fantastic welcome from our hosts Alex and Cory . Room was lovely with great views . Breakfast was brilliant. Couldn’t fault the place. We will be returning in the future.
Lovely room, especially the bathroom, great food in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast, all staff very friendly. Beautiful location near the lovely town of Crickhowell and close to Abergavenny which we enjoyed exploring too.
It is an historic building in a beautiful rural setting in the picturesque village of Crickhowell. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was good. It ends there.
The restaurant was quite good, service was top notch and the bar was well stocked and professionally managed. Hotel service was also excellent, and the facilities are charming.
The location as we wanted somewhere near to Crickhowell. Comfortable bed and pillows. Hairdryer available on request. Adequate wardrobe and draw space. Soft carpet.
The Studio is perfect accommodation for a couple. It is so close to Crickhowell shops and pubs and most days we walked from the Studio without needing a car.
The guesthouse was lovely with a pleasant communal sitting room. We walked along the canal to the Horseshoe Inn in Llangattock for a fantastic evening meal.
