6 of us (plus 3 dogs) meet annually for a walking weekend. The Bear was a perfect place to stay - characterful hotel, excellent service, good food, comfortable rooms.

Another great stay at the bear
This is our annual trip that we like to take. The bear never disappoints. I love this time of year, sitting by the fire on a cold day. Food is always top quality, staff can never do enough for you..

BULL AT THE BEAR
Very courteous and friendly staff. Check-in easy. We were phoned a few days earlier to ask if we would like to reserve a table for dinner as they were filling up fast; this was welcome and unexpected. Good food. Beautiful hanging floral displays outside. Spacious room with its own front door. Powerful shower, good welcome pack. The only gripe is the tv had some very odd channels on it. We were very impressed with this hotel and hope to return next year. Good location for exploring.

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.

Poor value for money
Definitely quirky or dated I would say , poor hygiene in bar pub, food good but not worth £168 per night . To top the stay I tested positive for COVID immediately on return home . Great
