    No suggestions for improvement as we had no complaints.

    Plenty of choice for breakfast Original room was a little small and when we pointed this out the staff were very obliging and upgraded us.

    No soundproofing. FWe were on the ground floor and could hear every step and bathroom noises from the guests above us. More evident late at night when they returned and early morning.

    Lovely location. Great atmosphere, pleasant staff and good breakfast. Parking.

    We love everything about this hotel and would change nothing

    Set in the historic surroundings of a 14th century coaching inn ,this hotel provides all the modern facilities we are now used It has successfully combined its traditional heritage with the needs of todays travellers. Its rooms are charming set inside the main building and in a courtyard extension built by the current owners. The hotel has a fine reputation for its food and every occasion we have dined there it has lived up to its reputation. The bar area is large and extensive and is a regular for the residents of Crickhowell and its surrounding areas. The service in all areas of this wonderful hotel is impeccable

    Sounds a bit picky but it would be good to have some more lighting in the downstairs dining room, and to make sure all surfaces are spotlessly clean - some felt a little bit 'sticky' in parts on the tables in the bar! Menu is so large it is clear that not all is prepped freshly but that is also a bit picky as it all tasted really good.

    Loved the ambience and the garden, generous food portions, and fabulous breakfast, lovely receptionists, warm welcome

    The food was first class and arrived quickly even though the hotel was busy. The waiting staff were very professional. Breakfast consisted of many choices as did dinner. We were told our room was an upgrade; it was spacious . The included Tea/ Coffee was very welcome after a days walking.The location is perfect.
