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.

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.
Lovely big old traditional country hotel. We loved the location with gorgeous grounds for a morning stroll after breakfast, yet just outside the cute village of Crickhowell and easy to find with GPS. We loved the cozy yet roomy bar/lounge where we could get tea and drinks and play card games for a long rainy afternoon then move seamlessly to dinner. The rooms were spotless and comfortable if a bit small. Check in and out was seamless. There was a big, delicious traditional English breakfast.
The property is an ideal base for hiking in an area that we have visited on numerous occasions. For potential guests who are not familiar with the area, the apartment is equipped with numerous guides to the many hiking trails in the area. It is easy walking distance to an excellent pub (The Horseshoe Inn, in Llangattock) which serves well kept real ale and food. Crickhowell is a little further with more choices for restaurants and pubs.
A lovely comfortable, clean and well looked after cottage. Set in a peaceful location, within a short drive to nearby towns of Crickhowell and Abergavenny. We really enjoyed our stay. It had everything we needed and more, a real home from home. Modern and very well equipped kitchen. We would recommend and would love to return 😊.
Hotel is in a good location, in the heart of Crickhowell and is a quirky building...bit like a rabbit warren...with plenty of history, Bar pleasant. Didn't eat dinner in the hotel but the breakfast was good. Breakfast and bar staff were friendly and helpful but I'm afraid that reception staff came across as less than welcoming.
Great village in wales that is very beautiful. Great location to start from if going on the Beacon canal. Was recommended by Beacon Park Boats. The in-house restaurant is superb! The pub was cosy and offered food as well. The manager at the Inn was a 10 on helping us with a variety of request . I’d return over and over !!!!!!!
An excellent staging post on a business visit to West Wales, but also would be a marvellous location for a longer stay in the great landscape of the Black Mountain and Brecon Beacons. Very helpful and friendly staff, good range of tasty choices for breakfast and comfortable bed. We will definitely stay again when in the area.
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.
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!
Beautiful flat with lots of light. Lots of space. Great location to the Brecon Beacons with some excellent pubs and shops nearby. Thank you for the milk(!), the little maps & tips around the area and for helping us get into the flat! I will definitely stay again when I'm next in the area.
Lovely period cottage, nicely decorated and the kind of holiday home I love staying in. Beds were really comfy, great bathroom and nicely decorated. Well placed close to the main area. The staff at the Dragon inn were exceptionally helpful and handy to be able to park there.
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.
Charming hotel in a great location to explore and enjoy Crickhowell. Fantastic welcome from our hosts Alex and Cory . Room was lovely with great views . Breakfast was brilliant. Couldn’t fault the place. We will be returning in the future.
Great location just a short drive - or even a walk - from Crickhowell. Amazing views.
Friendly staff. Nice food.
We had a superior room at the front of the hotel - spacious room.
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.
