Quirky decor, which I love, super comfortable bed. Well stocked for breaky. Bath was very welcome after a long days’ hike! I didn’t to use the coffee shop as it wasn’t open when I was there but having that on your doorstop plus the bakery, pubs, convenience stores and hiking start points was fantastic.

Lovely little property, very nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Plenty of space. Loads of towels which is always a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering but there are numerous places to eat out in the town or local area (Red Indigo Indian restaurant highly recommended!) The town car park is right behind the property and is only £4 a day, free after 6 pm. We left our car there on two out of our three day stay, and set out for our walks from the town. The local information centre has books with recommended routes.
Crickhowell itself is very attractive, small but quite busy with a range of cute and quirky shops. We loved Webbs the hardware/kitchenware store, CwCw which sells lovely jewellery and clothes, gifts etc and the independent bookshop which is also great!

The rooms were accessorised to a high standard and were very comfortable and clean.
Great location for hiking. Quaint village town with lovely shops, cafes and pubs. Staff all very friendly. There are many historical tourist attractions but I didn’t get to visit them as I was short on time and mainly went for hiking. Parking is the only challenge.

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.

Such a lovely soulful town with the amazing Nicholls and Webb’s stores along with a great bookshop, butchers, florist and antiques shop. Even a bakery, chemist and post office! Food at The Bear Hotel is fantastic!
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.
Crickhowell is a charming walkable Welsh town, where we needed to stay for one night before collecting our rental narrowboat nearby. As Mom & daughter travelling together, we needed 2 bedrooms. This small home fitted us perfectly, although people with difficulty walking might find the narrow steep stairs up to the bedrooms difficult. It was spotlessly clean and the host quickly and most helpfully answered my many questions both before our arrival and during our stay. Would return without hesitation.
Beautiful characterful old place. Our room, no.25 was in the attic with old beams and very spacious. Comfy beds and clean.
The toilets in reception were spotless, the breakfast was spot on and our evening meal was delicious.
Staff very friendly, efficient and helpful, recommending walks and ciders!
Would definitely stay here again as the location was perfect and to top it all off the weather was glorious.
Many thanks for a lovely stay and we hope to be back.
We booked a room with mountain view and we got a lovely view from our window. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and well decorated. Our host was very welcoming. Our delicious breakfast was cooked to order. There was also fruit and cereal available. There was a private covid-safe lounge available where we also had breakfast and our evening meal. The hotel was near to Crickhowell, Brecon and Abergavenny which were good places to visit.
We wanted a place to stay near Crickhowell so we could start our walk first thing in the morning, and this inn definitely exceeded our expectations. I strongly recommend you eat there in the evenings, they have great Jamaican food. The breakfast is described as continental but is better than the average continental breakfast as there are also crumpets/waffles/pastries etc.
Crickhowell looked superb in the sunshine. Cafe-type tables spilling out into the High Street increased it's welcoming friendly appearance. Dragon Inn is an exceptionally attractive building fronting onto the end of the High Street. Quiet yet close to an interesting range of shops. From the front door you can see the hills rising up behind the houses.
The food was outstanding! A varied menu, but top quality food, presentation and service. Evening meal was delicious and breakfast too!
The staff were all attentive and courteous, despite it being very busy.
The large room was decorated in a very sumptuous way, with a very comfortable bed.
The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas.
Lovely period accommodation, right Inthe middle of this lovely little town and retaining lots of original features, slightly quirky - but everything we needed was there. For our business trip so much better than a hotel as we were able work at the dining table. We had breakfast at the dragon inn which I highly recommend.
Lovely breakfast and room(although we had to switch rooms as we had booked a room with two doubles and were offered one which was impossible to open and with a single(plus the option of an an air bed).
Lovely location and ideal for Brecon beacons and local towns such as Abergavenny and Crickhowell bot of which we like.
Very helpful hosts. Brilliant location and house. Ideal for us and another family with 4 pre-school children. Lots of space inside (garden smaller than expected but lovely) and quite soundproof. One of the bedrooms had a little extra section that was perfect to fit our son's cot in so he couldn't see our bed!
very warm welcome, clean and nice room, generous (more than a continental) breakfast. We stayed in a room above the Pub space and it was not a nuisance at all. a short walk into Crickhowell. ideal to explore the beautiful National Park. Def recommend it.
Excellent location in the centre of the lovely town of Crickhowell. Walking distance to all the local shops, pubs and cafes. Ideal apartment as a base for a weekend walking in the surrounding area...and dog friendly too!
Excellent location in centre of Crickhowell. Olde worlde hotel full of nooks and crannies. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food in restaurant. Parking on site.
The staff were so friendly and accommodating. It’s so wonderful having a hotel that’s also so dog friendly. Great location, stunning views and beautifully decorated for Christmas , making it feel really special.
Absolutely adorable place with stunning views, helpful and friendly staff and tasty breakfasts. Hotel inside is very cozy with its own interesting history. Very close walk to Crickhowell.
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.
