The food we had was nice, nothing special but well cooked and tasty. The price was reasonable for bed and breakfast.

Quirky decor, which I love, super comfortable bed. Well stocked for breaky. Bath was very welcome after a long days’ hike! I didn’t to use the coffee shop as it wasn’t open when I was there but having that on your doorstop plus the bakery, pubs, convenience stores and hiking start points was fantastic.

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!

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.
This cottage was the perfect getaway we needed. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Great distance to all the places we wanted to explore in Wales, nowhere seemed too far away, Cardiff, Beacons and so much more. The perfect base for exploring and after a long day out, Crickhowell had the most wonderful choice of pubs on your doorstep.
Not that I wanted too but had to spend one morning working. Had the perfect set up in the dining room with Wi-Fi.
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.
Perfect accommodation for our last minute decision to get away from it all with a few days walking in the Brecon Beacons. A warm welcome from friendly host and staff; smart, clean and comfortable room; a good breakfast; and excellent Caribbean food at the pub in the evening. Try the goat curry and the short rib, both were delicious!
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!
What seemed like a walking through a labyrinth from reception to our room, we were impressed that at the end of our walkway was a door straight to the car park. Fantastic. An old but lovely quaint hotel with plenty of parking in a nice little town. Ideal base for exploring the brecon beacons.
A lovely comfortable hotel in a beautiful setting with lovely lounge and reception areas. The food was very good. The staff were exceptional and very kind. There is a great walking route which takes about 20 minutes from Crickhowell to the hotel. There is also a bus which stops nearby.
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.
A beautiful, quaint little cottage, full of character. Small, but well equipped with everything we needed for our weekend stay. Location is excellent, just off the high street in pretty Crickhowell. The nearby private parking space was invaluable.
The location as we wanted somewhere near to Crickhowell. Comfortable bed and pillows. Hairdryer available on request. Adequate wardrobe and draw space. Soft carpet.
