Bear Crickhowell, Crickhowell

The hotel is conveniently situated at the front of the building, just a staircase away from the entrance. While the room was small and showed signs of wear, it was acceptable. However, being so close to the road made it prone to traffic noise. The service was outstanding, with staff appearing genuinely happy and helpful throughout my stay. The central location in Crickhowell, within the Brecon National Park, made it a prime choice for exploring the area, although some areas felt a bit outdated.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were modern and well-appointed despite being a bit poky, and the service was efficient and friendly. The location was ideal for exploring local shops and sights, but noise was an issue in certain areas. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of choices, and overall, the hotel offered good value for money.

I couldn't have been more pleased with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were immaculate, and the food was excellent, truly on par with some of the best hotels in the UK. We made the mistake of dining at a higher-rated hotel nearby one evening, but the delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked dishes here won us over. The accommodation was spotless and incredibly comfortable, just what we needed after spending four nights in a tent.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were really comfortable and very clean, but unfortunately, the noise from the through traffic, especially at night, was a significant downside. The service was decent, but there were some lapses in attentiveness. The location in the center of the attractive town was great for exploring on foot, yet it could get too crowded, affecting relaxation. The dining was a blend of high quality and slight disappointments. Overall, a stay with its ups and downs.
