Bear Crickhowell
About this property
In Crickhowell, in the Brecon Beacons, The Bear dates back to 1432. Expect a welcoming atmosphere, old world charm and good food. Awarded Inn of the Year 2010 by the Good Pub Guide.
The Bear has original features, such as a cobbled forecourt, with an old archway leading to an inner courtyard.
Rooms also have an historical feel, but with modern facilities like free Wi-Fi and satellite TV.
The restaurant menu often changes to suit the local ingredients available. The award-winning food is served in cosy surroundings, with open log fires or fine fresh spring flowers. The restaurant is popular, so reservations are recommended.
The popular bar at The Bear has a low-beamed ceiling, with a winter log fire and many antiques. It has twice won the 'Best Pub in Britain' award. A number of real ales are served, along with vintage wines.
