What a fantastic hotel - my only moan was that it was very dark in the breakfast dog friendly area. We will definitely be back, Wilson (cocker spaniel) had a wonderful stay too, spoilt by all his treats, toys and bedding options ♥️

Another great stay at The Bear. I love it because it has a lot of character and it’s interesting. The rooms and nice and comfortable and the restaurant serves really delicious food (I had the beef short rib). It’s also really conveniently located in Crickhowell with most other interesting places within walking distance. Lastly, all the staff I spoke to were really friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit.

Perfect getaway spot
We stayed here following a day of hiking and it was perfect. However it would also be a great place to stay for a more glamorous occassion too. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Comfortable bed and quirky interior. Food was incredible.

We regularly eat at The Bear, as we love the food, but this was our first time to stay. The room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. As always, the service in the restaurant was excellent and the food was delicious. Our waiter, Hi-Man was most attentive.

Really lovely break at the Bear Hotel
Three night break in a very comfortable room at The Bear Hotel. The staff were marvellous, the food was excellent (breakfast and dinner) and - based on the experience we had - we would certainly book again at the Bear Hotel when we are staying in or around Crickhowell.
