Crickhowell is a small village with plenty of places to eat (but be sure to book) and has excellent views.
The Llanwenarth hotel we are reviewing is not in Crickhowell and is on the main road towards Abergavenny.

Great location for hiking.
Great location for hiking. Quaint village town with lovely shops, cafes and pubs. Staff all very friendly. There are many historical tourist attractions but I didn’t get to visit them as I was short on time and mainly went for hiking. Parking is the only challenge.

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.
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.
The property is an ideal base for hiking in an area that we have visited on numerous occasions. For potential guests who are not familiar with the area, the apartment is equipped with numerous guides to the many hiking trails in the area. It is easy walking distance to an excellent pub (The Horseshoe Inn, in Llangattock) which serves well kept real ale and food. Crickhowell is a little further with more choices for restaurants and pubs.
Everything went well, the staff was very friendly and kind, and the room was very nice. Every single question we had was answered nicely or they checked for us to help.
The hotel is located on the top of the hill and has fantastic views with no traffic or noise other than birds of tree leaves moved by the wind.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Manor Hotel, we will definitely back with more friends!
Beautiful old hotel in a lovley friendly village
Great room,wonderful staff and the meal was sublime in tbe evening.
Could not ask for more
Up there with the best of our stays in the Uk
And we have stayed at a lot of places
The countryside in Wales is very special and we will always remember it fondly
Good staff makes all the diffetence and this pub has it in spades
We spent two nights at The Horseshoe Inn and really enjoyed it. Room was really lovely, and the pub below was good fun. We had drinks and evening meals there both days. Great Jamaican food! Staff were friendly and welcoming.
They don’t serve breakfast but there’s plenty of options in Crickhowell (it’s a nice 15 minute walk in if the weather is fine).
Beautiful flat with lots of light. Lots of space. Great location to the Brecon Beacons with some excellent pubs and shops nearby. Thank you for the milk(!), the little maps & tips around the area and for helping us get into the flat! I will definitely stay again when I'm next in the area.
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.
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.
staff were all cheerful and helpful and our dog was welcomed and it was a truly dog friendly hotel. there is a good mix of locals and guests that creates a nice atmosphere. the breakfast was excellent with a good variety and our evening meal was also extremely good.
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.
Hotel is located just outside Crickhowell at the top of a hill, giving glorious views from the front of the hotel and gardens. Plenty of parking. Very comfortable room overlooking the garden. Reception staff very helpful. Food excellent and plentiful.
The staff were friendly and helpful, despite being under staffed. Check-in and -out went smoothly. The room was spacious, well decorated, and comfortable. The food in the on-site resaurant was good and the included breakfast was fantastic.
Perfect place to 'break' a journey to West Wales. Hotel well-situated,room very comfortable, staff pleasant and welcoming, excellent nights' sleep. Our car modestly-sized so access to very useful car park not a problem !
Excellent location for visiting the Brecon Beacons. Right near the Brecon canal and locks - lovely walks and lots of nearby towns and villages to visit.
Hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
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.
