Bear Crickhowell  

Had our 2 dogs with us - given a ground floor room off courtyard - ideal location for them - easy access, no need to traipse them through hotel when soaking wet! Room a good size for us and the 2 of them. Food was excellent and very good value.

TV in our room was antiquated! Could really do with an update in these modern times - noticed room next door had a flat screen TV!

The village was great for relaxing after a day at work park river good walks and nice pubs for a pint. Hotel dinner excellent and pet friendly.

Quiet later on out and about but would imagine in season would be different.

All round excellent

Sausages should be better quality on breakfast

The location was perfect for the Brecon beacons, good food, cosy atmosphere in the pub.

Our room could do with an update in decoration, mattress a little too hard.

Large room. Good food. Characterful building.

Pleasant old Hotel with good facilities

Car Park not really adequate for size of Hotel, but not much could be done about this in view of the location.

Loved the Beauty & Character of the Hotel. Staff giving a lovely warm welcome, they were eager to please us and make any changes if necessary - they ensured our comfort really well. Can;t wait to visit again.

The staff couldn't have been more helpful, we arrived with no table booked in the restaurant and an event on, but somehow they managed to find us a table to eat at for 7.30. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

nothing

Lovely pub atmosphere with excellent food and good reasonable wines, and very good real ale. Very friendly helpful staff and relaxed atmosphere. Hope to go back soon.

TV was a bit old! This didn't worry us though as the rest was so good, and you don't go to a place like this to watch tv in your bedroom!

When I realised my room only had a shower, I went to ask the receptionist if I could have a room with a bathtub. She not only found me a room in the main hotel with a bathtub, she actually gave me one with a jacuzzi! I'm sure this was an upgrade but at no point did she make the point or charge me more. I was delighted of course!

- charismatic place - good food & drinks

Location, Food, Very friendly staff, everything really. Felt very welcome and at home. We will be back.

small car park - but after a wait, we got a space - not really a dislike as such.

Old fashioned charm, very good food, welcoming atmosphere in the bar. good inclusive breakfast

We were mischarged for a bottle of wine and 3 drinks when we paid for our food at the bar. The staff rectified the situation.

Bar/restaurant was lovely with good food/ale and ambiance. A beautiful old Inn

My room was very dated (R23) with poor decoration and broken/shabby fixtures and fittings. This room really needs modernising

The location and the old world charm and friendliness of staff

Internet is poor as is television reception but that could be that Crickhowell is a black spot, rather than the fault of the hotel.

great place

Food

They did not have my booking!

Fantastic location, beautiful old style building with warm feeling and friendly staff.

Two single beds pushed together do not make a comfortable double bed in my opinion. Way too soft. Now have bad back ache.

Resturant facilities Staff Room comfort level

High noise level in the courtyard area (where rooms are) until 2400 and again starting at 0630 in the morning. This noise from vehicles, hotel staff, delivery vehicles, contractors, kitchen door and windows open. Bar smokers in the courtyard. Dogs barking

The food is excellent. The staff were very attentive.

We booked a superior room. I didn't think the room was superior. When I complained to the manager he reduced our room rate to standard. The decor is tired and in need of refurbishment. £115 a night too much to pay for mediocrity.

Very friendly and efficient staff, excellent food.

If I had to find something to fault, hairdryer in bathroom was virtually ineffective.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at the Bear and have enjoyed every trip. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and well run.

The evening meal was disappointing, for the standard of the hotel we thought the food would have been better. It tasted like packet food.

Level of service was excellent

Mix up between booking.com and hotel over room allocation.

Querky little pub with great value accomdation attached

Breckfast was only average.

Dog friendly Good food and friendly staff Great atmosphere

nothing major, only little thing was uht milk in room, but on asking was given fresh milk.
