Lovely and cozy hotel. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and guided to our room. The room was extremely comfortable, with lots of space and a big bed. Our waiter at dinner, He-man, was beyond exceptional to us and everyone in the dining room.

It was lovely all around, if they offer you room 11 or 12 request another 😉 The rooms were quite nice - clean and comfortable, well appointed hut quite a lot of (26) steps up to the rooms.
Located in Llangattock, the Old Rectory Country Hotel is located in Brecon Beacons National Park, a mile from Crickhowell. The hotel offers free parking and WiFi.

It Is a beautiful place. It is old but very well maintained. We felt very comfortable there. The view from our room was beautiful. Breakfast was very good. Staff was very friendly. Really nice sauna with cold shower - excellent after hiking.
We really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back:)

The location was excellent. We had just finished a narrow boat holiday with Beacon Park Boats which is just a bit away. We also took day trips to the Big Pit Mine and to Stonehenge from The Horse Shoe Inn. Their restaurant/chef was wonderful! The pub was GRAND. The locals filled the place every night with their pups. The staff was lovely.

Crickhowell is a small village with plenty of places to eat (but be sure to book) and has excellent views.
The Llanwenarth hotel we are reviewing is not in Crickhowell and is on the main road towards Abergavenny.

Great location for hiking.
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.
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.
Absolutely lovely accommodation - the Loft suite was a huge room plus the entrance and dining area and bathroom. Really comfortable bed and it is really as roomy and pleasant as it looks in the photos. Plentiful breakfast to enjoy in the room including fresh berries. We liked being a walk from Llangattock and Crickhowell - it’s a pleasant stroll down to the Horseshoe Inn and back but felt more ‘breathing room’ being set in a quieter location away from the town centre. We would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Bear. We were upgraded to a lovely room across the courtyard which was bigger than we had expected - a nice surprise. Comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom with bath and shower.
We enjoyed the breakfast choices particularly the porridge with pecans and honey which was delicious!
The Bear is located in the centre of Crickhowell near the interesting independent shops in the high street. There are lovely walks to do from the door.
Lle hyfryd i aros.
This cottage was the perfect getaway we needed. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Great distance to all the places we wanted to explore in Wales, nowhere seemed too far away, Cardiff, Beacons and so much more. The perfect base for exploring and after a long day out, Crickhowell had the most wonderful choice of pubs on your doorstep.
Not that I wanted too but had to spend one morning working. Had the perfect set up in the dining room with Wi-Fi.
Everything! Clare is a great host, location is spot on, the flat is furnished beautifully and we wanted for nothing. Loved Crickhowell, it’s stunning high street had everything. The walks with views were out of this world. It was vibrant, the pubs and food were great and the locals are so friendly. Can’t wait to come back.
Having only ever driven past Crickhowell, when booking reasonably priced accommodation in a strange area can sometimes lead to disappointment. Not so The Old Rectory, a lovely old building, a gem of a village in a beautiful area. It was extremely good value an excellent hotel where nothing was too much trouble.
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!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location in the small town of Crickhowell. Nearby cafes and restaurants and lovely walks. Very comfortable and spacious house. Had everything we needed and more. This is our second time here, and we'd love to return again.
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.
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.
The spacious room, the breakfasts and the genuine hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble for the lovely family who run this B and B. You can also walk into Crickhowell and llangattock for lovely pub meals.
