We did the hike up Pen Y Fan with a large group of friends earlier in the day and then stayed over at the Bear afterwards. Everyone in our group booked their accommodation individually, however the Bear were happy to arrange a large table for our group and we pre ordered our meals ahead of time. We will definitely be back!

A delightful country town amidst superb scenery.
A delightful country town amidst superb scenery. It has history, plenty of places for refreshment - coffee, fish and chips and the Bear Hotel which is excellent and has to be visited for it's architecture alone ! Also a couple of shops that are outstanding including a magnificent hardware emporium plus an interesting art gallery/ Information centre.
A first rate introduction to the Brecon Beacons

Crickhowell is a lovely country town with some very nice shops. If you like walking it's perfect. It has a stunning old stone bridge spanning the River Usk.
There are a number of attractive pubs in the town.
All in all, a perfect place for a few days away for adults.

Great place for a sto off on a motorbike trip around tha Brecon Beacons. Shame that there was no slot for us for an evening meal, but The Old Rectory did fantastic burgers and beer.... but no triple room as required.
Excellent breakfast at a little cafe on the high Street!

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
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay more pleasant. The food was good, but it didn’t quite stand out as exceptional—it was satisfactory but not memorable.
While the service and dining experience were decent, the overall impression of the hotel could be elevated with a bit more attention to detail in other areas.
Lovely spacious flat in the middle of Crickhowell. Very clean and well-equipped. Good communication from the owner before my stay. Easy access via a keysafe. Lovely independent shops, cafes and pubs to visit in Crickhowell.
Amazing staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Although an old building, this hotel has been thoughtfully maintained and is great value for money.
