Dragon Inn Crickhowell

Dragon Inn Crickhowell

10/10 Excellent
"The expression ’hidden gem’ suits this property. Great staff who genuinely make you feel welcome. Comfy bed where I got an Apple PB 100% sleep score. Breakfast in the new room is wonderful too. Bar upgrade is due later this year which will make the Dragon hands down the best place to stay in Crickhowell hands down"
