The Manor Hotel

About The Manor Hotel

The Manor Hotel occupies a commanding position above Crickhowell on the Brecon road, looking directly across the Usk Valley to Table Mountain, the flat-topped hill and Iron Age hillfort that gives the town its name. The hotel has been in the same family's hands for decades and trades on that setting, with a terrace and several of its rooms making the most of the view rather than the more conventional high-street outlook offered by the town's coaching inns.

Bedrooms are traditional in style, with a mix of standard and larger valley-view rooms, and the hotel's restaurant and bar draw on the same seasonal, locally sourced approach found elsewhere in Crickhowell, with lamb and beef from nearby farms regular fixtures on the menu. A function suite and grounds also make it a popular choice for weddings and events, which is worth bearing in mind when booking a quiet weekend stay.

Its slightly elevated, out-of-centre position means a short walk or a couple of minutes' drive to reach the high street itself, a trade-off most guests make willingly for the views and the quieter, more spacious feel than the town-centre inns offer.
