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.

Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
