Dragon Inn

Think the lady in charge Needs a carer' change. Hate putting on a bad review. But from the outside the place is beautiful. Inside the pub looks very nice to. Arrived to what seamed to be a staff meeting in the hotel bar. The owner was quite rude and uninterested in our arrival. A lovely you man came to help and showed us to our room. The room was very small a attic room. Could do wth a bit of tlc. We booked for a evening meal which was nice. Once again the owner needs to change her job! Breakfast was dreadful greasy mushrooms had fried egg we asked for poached. Once again the owner well she was so miserable and rude.

Lovely relaxed stay really lovely place to stay. Warm welcome, huge bedroom with wonderful large bed, bathroom had bath and over shower which was great. Spotlessly clean. Good bar/eating area. Very impressed with the beer garden and lovely terraced area to sit out. Staff were excellent - very polite and attentive

A lovely pub stay in a beautiful village. The staff work very hard to ensure their guests enjoy their stay and I certainly did! As a solo traveller, I felt safe and not out of place at all. Dinner and breakfast both delicious. Room perfect with thoughtful little touches. The entrance was narrow as others have mentioned but not too awful. Highly recommend!

Mid week stay Very good breakfasts, very comfortable beds. Car parking a challenge due to narrow entrance. Showers a challenge too as no shower screen. Spacious bathroom.

Visiting to Crickhowell Staff were very friendly and helpful. For us the narrow entrance to the car park was too much of a risk so we paid to use the public car park. We should have asked for a walk in shower and no stairs so unfortunately there were two flights of stairs and we were unable to use the bath (a learning curve!). The food was great and we would recommend the hotel to other visitors (taking into account the above),

Not terrible but will stay elsewhere next time My experience was satisfactory, but with pros and cons. The pros.Location was great near the center of town, walking was easy to several restaurants, pubs, shops nearby. Ancient castle ruins located right behind the large beer garden of the Inn. We stayed 4 days and had most meals in the Dragon Inn restaurant, food was excellent, portions were large. The majority of staff were very friendly and helpful but a few times it was clear that the staff was not enthused about their job. Some of the restaurant seating was near the bar which can be really busy and annoying when trying to enjoy your meal as people trying to get drinks are standing in the seating area. Best to book ahead and ask to sit away from the bar for the best experience. Now the cons; best to avoid room 8 Although it was a good size, clean with comfortable bed and large bath, the room was always uncomfortably warm for some reason despite the windows being open all day/night and fan on full time. We stayed in June but the daytime outdoor temperature was 19-20 and cooler at night.The heat was not on so we couldn’t figure out why the room was so warm. I inquired about this and was told All the rooms are like that. Room 8 is located above the kitchen near the service staff metal stair and kitchen vent exhaust near our open windows so had the smells of all food being prepared. It is also above the patio; late night revelers were loud due to open windows. Entrance to car park is very narrow, be sure to fold mirrors.
