The Bear likes Dogs.
Crickhowell's delightful, vast and rambling, award winning The Bear was once a coaching inn dating back to 1432. It still offers a warm welcome to travellers, tourists, locals and well behaved pet dogs. Delicious food is served from a simple sandwich or baguette to a home cooked brasserie/bistro style three course meal in the bar or in the candle lit restaurant. If you prefer just call in for a drink and savour the historic surrounding. Old beams, ancient carved panels, stone flagged floors, open fires, cosy sofas, polished tables and much more will all transport you back in time.
