Originally a 15th Century coaching inn, now an award winning hotel and Guide regular. The multi-roomed bar enjoys grand surroundings with exposed beams, wood panelling, fine settles and an eclectic selection of furnishings and decorations. The two bar rooms have exposed fireplaces, as does one of the side rooms. Usually four ales to choose from, with guests often from independent Welsh breweries. Food is excellent and the varied menu features much local produce. The Bear is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons National Park.

Historic Interest

Early to mid Georgian with parts dating back to the 17th century, possibly the 15th. Grade II*Listed. The 'Bar to the Bear Hotel' has a separate Grade II listing. Historic Wales list entries 7200 & 7201.
