Room was extremely neat and clean and very well maintained. Only sad part was the breakfast was not well attended. She was a racist who got our food. I just asked for extra hash down and she was like another one? Another one? And made me feel a bit hesitant to ask what I wanted

Really enjoyed our stay, only negative I have is that the door to the room was difficult to open, but that was because it was clear the room had been given a new comfortable carpet. Breakfast was great, lovely atmosphere

Enjoyable stays in the lovely hotel

The hotel is in the heart of Carmarthen city centre with easy access to all the shops and restaurants. It's easy to drive to the neighbourhood beaches, gardens. We love the stays in the hotel. The waitresses are very friendly and helpful. The English breakfasts are wonderful.

Nice, clean room. Was quite noisy as it overlooked the street. The shower was tiny, practically impossible to shower without washing your hair. The breakfast was really good in a lovely dining area, we also had lunch which was also good. Friendly staff, overall a good experience.

Had a very nice and cosy overnight stay. Nice breakfast, friendly staff, well-presented room with a very nice bathroom. Could perhaps do with an extra blind or window covering to keep more light out. Vegan as well as veggie options at breakfast would be good too.

Convenient position on the main street with bus stops at the front. Difficult small car park but ok for small car. Twin room off the carpark clean but needed tlc (sellotape holding shower rail together/no spare loo roll, one radiator cold, bathroom flooring peeling away.
