Great stay for 2 nights. The room was clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Consistently excellent food for both dinners and breakfasts that we had - and very promptly served, considering how busy the restaurant gets. Well done to all the staff team.

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.

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.
