A former coaching inn, this award-winning property is set in the heart of the market town of Newcastle Emlyn, just a few minutes’ drive from beautiful countryside. There is a restaurant. Gwesty'r Emlyn Hotel’s contemporary rooms retain traditional features in this 300-year-old building, and include flat-screen satellite TV and tea/coffee facilities. The private bathroom in each room has a hairdryer. Newcastle Emlyn is in the Teify Valley, West Wales, which is very popular for salmon and sewin (migratory trout) fishing. Guests are just 15 minutes’ drive from the coast, travelling through the hills, valleys and rivers of the region. The award-winning Gwesty'r Emlyn serves cooked Welsh breakfast dishes. Pubs, cafés and restaurants can be found within a 20-minute walk, while Carmarthen is 30 minutes' drive away.
