The staff were super friendly, nothing was too much trouble. There was plenty of pay and display parking and very close to the town centre and the hotel had some limited free parking.
Breakfast was good and the hotel was very well maintained and very clean.

We saw the town on a Sunday. Vey quiet. However, there is more to the town than first glance (just), but too much retail - so much unoccupied. Given history, very little historic class on view. The hey day has gone, what now? Perfect accommodation, very close to town.

There are some really interesting shops and businesses in the town centre. Sadly, in common with many towns, there are too many empty/closed shops and rundown buildings. That said Carmarthen's location is ideal for visiting the NBGW

Carmarthen was a nice town to walk around for a day but I wouldn’t want to stay longer than a long weekend. The castle was locked with no reason or explanation when the internet states it’s open ? Many tourists were also under the same impression as us and miss informed by Google.

For a bank holiday and festival weekend, there seemed to be very little going on. Difficult to find a restaurant meal, so had to get takeaway. From that point of view, we probably didn't see the town at its best.
Enjoyed a trip on the steam railway, and few minutes drive from the town, and know from previous visits to the area that the surrounding countryside is lovely,as is the river.
The accommodation was superb. Beautiful bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We dined at the hotel each night and found the menu varied and the food excellent. Also, the breakfast was fabulous with plenty of choice. An excellent location for exploring West Wales and Carmarthen is a lovely old town - and good for shopping. We have been before and will happily come again. Good lift access which was a blessing as my partner and I were both on sticks, following minor accidents.
Really genuine and friendly- hard working people. Beautiful place to stay with good access to West and South Wales. There is nothing about the place or the owners to dislike. I travel for work and intend using this b&b regularly if possible. There is also the self catering option available in the same grounds.
The hotel is in a great location, the rooms we had were clean and spacious. We needed to stay a second night and staff were so friendly and accommodating making sure we had a room that met our needs. The breakfast was yummy, considering the price we were more than happy with our stay.
The hotel/pub is very basic , cheap furniture in the room , very small telly etc etc . It was clean and staff were good , the breakfast was very good . You pay for what you get ! £63 inc of breakfast is cheap in todays market especially in a town like Carmarthen .
The staff were super friendly, nothing was too much trouble. There was plenty of pay and display parking and very close to the town centre and the hotel had some limited free parking.
Breakfast was good and the hotel was very well maintained and very clean.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
We booked a room for 6 but ended up receiving a room for 8
Due to a leakage from heavy rain.
We only came to stay for the night to go to Skandavel early morning Pooja, so couldn't say much else about the area .
The little snug is a really cosy place to stay in Wales. The location is just perfect with the car easy to move to the nearby town. Thanks Jo for create such a lovely place. And make ours stay just a perfect break out of the busy London 👌 ✨️
Beautiful location, easy access by road, near the town & the beach.
Tidy, well furnished chalet with everything you need.
Plenty of things to do in the area (30min. drive radius).
Good communication with host.
Good value for money
I really liked the personal, they were so great, had a good laugh with them during the evening , they were amazing 🤩
Room was exactly as described, clean and very comfortable beds.
Hotel is literally in town centre :)
The location was ideal. Close to the nearest town, but with the feel that you were in rural Wales. The host was friendly, helpful and very welcoming. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back
We always have a good time when we visit Kaowood Country Park which is why we have booked again for next year. We also like Wales and use Kaowood as a base to visit local towns and villages
Absolutely everything , anybody thinking of taking a break with the clean fresh air in Wales just go ahead and book as soon as you can . The host couldn't make you more welcome
Room good and clean also en suite better than expected. Breakfast good too. Staff were friendly. Location very good in the middle of town centre. Parking is also available.
The rooms are large and spacious, well equipped and comfortable.
The owners are lovely and welcoming and the hotel is right in the centre of town, absolutely perfect.
Fantastic facilities. This lady gives you more quality than the best hotels. So much variety for breakfast and evening drinks. Great value and lovely place.
This location was beautiful the only thing I would say is make sure you drive because it is in the middle of nowhere and taxi one way to town cost £30 .
