Crickhowell hoteles

Ventajas: The food was fantastic, the grounds, views and area were amazing and bed was really comfortable.

Desventajas: For the money we paid I was expecting the wow factor - unfortunately what should have been an amazing stay turned in to an ok stay - simply let down by the restaurant staff... i.e. I should not have had to go a fetch the dessert menu myself, or not knowing who our waitress/waiter was.

Ventajas: The property setting is tranquil and one immediately start relaxing upon arrival. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Any request is met with sterling service!

Desventajas: I loved EVERYTHING about this property.

Ventajas: Loved the wonderful view from the balcony in our room...and the food was fantastic... especially the breakfast.. This Hotel is so peaceful... all you could hear was the river running...fab... The waiting staff were so pleasant and could not do enough to make your stay extra special.. the fact that the weather was gorgeous only added to the beautiful grounds...

Desventajas: Only coffee in room..choice of tea would have been nice... air conditioning would be good as it was so hot... but this did bot spoil our stay at all... as we could have the balcony doors open and the windows open and blinds down...

Ventajas: The location is excellent, a short drive from the market town of Crickhowell, but otherwise quite isolated on a very quiet road. The extensive grounds are superb, next to the Usk River, with walking trails through many species of mature trees. The room and ensuite bathroom were clean. The in-house restaurant provided good breakfasts and dinners (lunch was also available, but we didn't experience this and can't comment).

Desventajas: This is a relatively big establishment - an hotel - compared to country B&Bs, and consequently more impersonal. We didn't meet the owners, and there was a different person at reception each time we entered. The staff were courteous, but not knowledgable about the area and therefore not particularly helpful for sightseeing advice. The room was quite small with very little space for luggage and laughable wardrobe space.

Ventajas: Great setting. So beautiful.

Ventajas: The location, the view, the comfort.

Ventajas: the choicesfor breakfast and evening meal were great , the location of the hotel was superb

Desventajas: The steps into the bathroom were rather dangerous, a light sensor would be useful

Ventajas: Friendly staff, lovely setting

Desventajas: The dinner menu was somewhat strange in the choices available.

Ventajas: I had to amend the booking for unfortunate reasons and Penny and Jurgita were superb in their kind and professional help. Staff very polite. Breakfast excellent and VERY comfortable bed. I slept so well!

Desventajas: Nothing.

Ventajas: Overnight stay as we were attending a wedding nearby. Hotel positioned in a lovely village with beautiful scenery. Warm friendly staff and a wonderful breakfast.

Desventajas: Room faced the main road where the traffic was quite noisy.

Ventajas: Excellent evening meal and breakfast. Friendly helpful staff Very good location

Desventajas: TV reception

Ventajas: Location.

Desventajas: Carpet in the bathroom. Breakfast finished at 9.30am - too early, never actually made it after a wedding.

Ventajas: Beautiful flowers around the garden and balconies, In fact, pretty well everywhere! Food was very good though service a bit slow in the restaurant. Located in centre of interesting village on main road but still quiet at night. Friendly helpful staff. Good atmosphere.

Desventajas: We stayed at The Bear 10 days before in a ‘cosy room’ which I described as poky. This time we were in a much better room which had been recently redecorated with a new, better shower. Hence our higher rating this time though still a little expensive we felt. (same price as before)

Ventajas: The location

Desventajas: Decor a bit tired

Ventajas: Great location

Desventajas: A little bit expensive for what it is you really are paying for the location.

Ventajas: Great location with good parking facilities. Friendly staff. Wide range of beers. Wines were not overpriced. Menu was good. Hanging baskets were amazing! Hotel still has features relating to the history of the building.

Desventajas: Would have been nice to be able to browse through a book relating to the full history of the building, possibly with old photographs through the centuries - when we asked staff for information they were unable to give much detail. We were unfortunate in having a shower door that completely detached from the shower surround when we first used it. The ensuite door squeaked loudly when opened and closed and consequently woke me up in the middle of the night - a little attention required from the mantenance team. More vegetarian / vegan options for breakfast would have been appreciated.

Ventajas: Everything. The rooms were comfortable, the beds even more so. The ambiance of the hotel and the bar made a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Breakfast was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. Sitting in the beer garden of an evening was lovely in this weather. The gardens were well tended

Desventajas: There was nothing not to like

Ventajas: Beautiful flowers around the garden and balconies, In fact, pretty well everywhere! Food was very good though service a bit slow in the restaurant. Located in centre of interesting village on main road but still quiet at night. Friendly helpful staff. Good atmosphere.

Desventajas: We had a cosy room. My mother would have called it ‘poky’! Difficult to open suitcase except on the bed!

Desventajas: El baño que nos dieron tenía el techo tan bajo que no té podías duchar de pie.

Ventajas: Beautiful location, fabulous food and great beer garden.

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Location

Desventajas: Parking access

Ventajas: Lovely place and great location. Very clean and good breakfast. Staff very helpful.

Desventajas: . The floors slant a bit which can be disconcerting and the rooms are small but it's the price you pay for authentic old world feel.

Ventajas: Dinning room food and garden on

Desventajas: No shower in room.Your lager was overpriced compared to the Bear.D

Ventajas: Breakfast buffet was very good and also very good selection of cooked breakfasts.

Desventajas: We booked a standard room up in the eaves of the Dragon Inn which was a little basic ie: no shower only one chair for relaxing. No drawers for clothes. Room was very small and my husband kept hitting his head on the eaves to get round the bed.I have stayed before and had upgraded to a much nicer/larger room on the first floor.

Ventajas: The staff were wonderful, as was the location.

Ventajas: The location was excellent in the middle of town. The breakfast was excellent you could tell they used good produce. We also had dinner the night before which was excellent also.

Ventajas: We loved the staff who were really friendly and helpful. The location was great and the restaurant was lovely for dinner. Breakfast was more than adequate.

Desventajas: The bathroom had a very small corner bath with a hand held showering device in a room with a sloping ceiling. Don’t see how anyone of any height would manage it.

Ventajas: Great response to our dog. Breakfast staff were very attentive and helpful. Room very clean and comfortable bed.

Desventajas: We were turned away from eating at 8.15 on the evening of our arrival as too busy to take more orders. No real apology but told there were other places to eat nearby. We did have an excellent meal at another hotel and would probably go there next time. A pity as we had returned to The Dragon because we were so pleased with a previous visit.

Ventajas: Location!

Desventajas: Room was very small and cramped, need to make it clearer regarding shower,no room to stand in bath to use hand shower head. Beams were really low, at 5'6" hitting head on beams in the toilet! Fire alarm went off at 6.30 then stopped as we left the room, no sign of staff! Room really hot as was in the eaves, when we went too cool off in the courtyard garden, found full dog poo bags under the tables! Had to look for staff to find out about breakfast, took ages to take order and got it wrong! Paid supplement for bigger breakfast, think we got forgotten as others who came in behind us got served first! Real shame as the ingredients were obviously good quality but bacon so over cooked it was like cardboard, and eggs on one breakfast had solid yolks! Didn't complain as we needed to check out,as our vehicle needed to be moved from time restricted parking in the street, access to car park totally unsuitable for larger vehicles, should be made clear when booking! We also felt sorry for the young lady who seemed to be doing everything on her own!

Ventajas: lovely food. good bar staff. comfy beds

Desventajas: bathroom a bit outdated and water marks on ceiling needs revamp. Pool a lot smaller than what was expected from photos and no lockers in very small changing room. if there was 3 people in there it was full!

Ventajas: Breakfast was substantial, room looked luxurious! The view from the bedroom was fantastic.

Desventajas: Shower in the room didn’t work. Check the bill when you leave! We had to question the added extras we had paid for.

Ventajas: Location is good nice and beautiful

Desventajas: Bit run down.

Ventajas: The views outside were very impressive and it was very clean.

Desventajas: Mainly the room we were given, which was down a narrow corridor by the staff cupboards and open stairs to the attic, which looked filled with junk.

Desventajas: Sausages and black pudding not cooked enough

Desventajas: Nothing really

Ventajas: Relaxed atmosphere, food excellent and a comfy night’s sleep. Wish we were staying longer to use all facilities

Desventajas: Step up in the bathroom, rather suspect in the middle of the night
