Lovely and cozy hotel. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and guided to our room. The room was extremely comfortable, with lots of space and a big bed. Our waiter at dinner, He-man, was beyond exceptional to us and everyone in the dining room.

It Is a beautiful place. It is old but very well maintained. We felt very comfortable there. The view from our room was beautiful. Breakfast was very good. Staff was very friendly. Really nice sauna with cold shower - excellent after hiking.
We really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back:)

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.
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Bear. We were upgraded to a lovely room across the courtyard which was bigger than we had expected - a nice surprise. Comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom with bath and shower.
We enjoyed the breakfast choices particularly the porridge with pecans and honey which was delicious!
The Bear is located in the centre of Crickhowell near the interesting independent shops in the high street. There are lovely walks to do from the door.
Lle hyfryd i aros.
Great location near to Crickhowell and Brecon Beacons.
Cath (barmaid) met us on arrival, super friendly and dealt with any query we had. Rooms are clean and smart; all the usual facilities.
Good selection of drinks; and the food was AMAZING!
The JamWelsh menu and specials are superb. Quality ingredients and well prepared. Worthy of popping in just for the food.
The pub was busy on the Friday night; so book a table, but regardless as Guests they managed to find us a table.
We booked a room with mountain view and we got a lovely view from our window. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and well decorated. Our host was very welcoming. Our delicious breakfast was cooked to order. There was also fruit and cereal available. There was a private covid-safe lounge available where we also had breakfast and our evening meal. The hotel was near to Crickhowell, Brecon and Abergavenny which were good places to visit.
The location of the cottage was excellent, in the middle of the town and an easy walk to pubs and restaurants. Having parking in the nearby pub meant no worries about the car while we were there. The cottage itself was exceptionally clean and very nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. Nice bathroom too. And Crickhowell is the starting point for several fine walks across the Welsh hills, which is the reason we were staying.
Absolutely stunning hotel!
Me and my boyfriend travelled down here from Devon for a getaway together, and we had a lovely time!
We enjoy going for walks and we went for a lovely walk along the canal and walked into crickhowell town and had a drink out in the sun!
The food at the hotel is amazing and the breakfast is 10/10!!
We will definitely return back here again!
Highly recommend this hotel! X
Location of the hotel is stunning, the views are unforgettable ans the panoramic windows in our room allowed us to enjoy this view any time of the day. And its surrounded by lovely nature, we even saw a baby deer at the car park so be careful when you return back late - you can meet deer near hotel and other wild life animals and birds.
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 😊.
Very helpful hosts. Brilliant location and house. Ideal for us and another family with 4 pre-school children. Lots of space inside (garden smaller than expected but lovely) and quite soundproof. One of the bedrooms had a little extra section that was perfect to fit our son's cot in so he couldn't see our bed!
One of the most beautiful pubs/hotels I stayed in. Stunning 500 year old building beaming with character in picture perfect Crickhowell. Cosy, tastefully decorated rooms, great bathroom. Fantastic dinner amazing breakfast, including local produce. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay again.
What a gem of a place, suitable for all our needs. Secure garage underneath to keep our bikes. Lovely walks nearby, we climbed up to Table Mountain. The town has some lovely pubs, I can recommend “The Bear” for food as well. The people were welcoming and the accommodation warm and clean.
very warm welcome, clean and nice room, generous (more than a continental) breakfast. We stayed in a room above the Pub space and it was not a nuisance at all. a short walk into Crickhowell. ideal to explore the beautiful National Park. Def recommend it.
Excellent location in the centre of the lovely town of Crickhowell. Walking distance to all the local shops, pubs and cafes. Ideal apartment as a base for a weekend walking in the surrounding area...and dog friendly too!
The spacious room, the breakfasts and the genuine hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely family who run this B and B. You can also walk into Crickhowell and llangattock for lovely pub meals.
Self catering but was in the middle of town with plenty of choice of eateries.close to pubs and restaurants.Nearby riverside walks and and boat hire on canal.
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.
