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.

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
Breakfast was great. Room was great. But best thing about the hotel was the staff. One young lady in particular was incredibly helpful. We arrived a day early with bikes and couldn't stay, but they looked after our bikes for us, and refreshed one of our party so that he no longer needed an air ambulance. When we arrived back the next night to stay properly they were again just so helpful, did anything for us without question. Location is stunning. Crickhowell lovely and so much to see and do. One of my favourite spots in UK.
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 were on a walking weekend with our dogs - The Bear is perfectly nestled in the centre of Crickhowell within easy walking access to Table Mountain and 05mins drive to Blorenge and Keepers Pond. lovely character to the premises and the cleanest room I’ve ever stayed in.
fantastic breakfast (and bar food and ales the night before !) , totally dog friendly in every area of the pub and rooms.
superb
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 😊.
Great location, friendly staff, great food with a decent wine list, great breakfast selection including a hot breakfast cooked fresh, clean and comfortable room, on site parking in the heart of Crickhowell....room was clean and bed was really comfortable and cozy! Hotel is nicely finished with up to date decor.
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.
The staff were excellent! I bought a little dog and they were very welcoming and allowed her to come with us for dinner and breakfast sitting in the bar. Very dog friendly. A very pretty hotel and I thought the flowers and plants were well looked after and beautiful.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location in the small town of Crickhowell. Nearby cafes and restaurants and lovely walks. Very comfortable and spacious house. Had everything we needed and more. This is our second time here, and we'd love to return again.
A lovely little hotel situated a in beautiful rural area in Wales. Plenty of little or long walks in the beautiful countryside, depending on what you fancy. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food was amazing.
Self catering. Excellent location for exploring the Brecon Beacons.The accommodation was very clean and cosy and situated in a quiet location and had its own parking space for one vehicle.
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.
