“Best breakfasr ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2009

Just returned from a 2 night stay at this superior B & B. Purpose built addition to main building with good sized bedroom, very comfortable bed and walk-in wardrobe. Double glazed throughoutRecently up-dated bathroom of reasonable size with easy to operate shower. All very clean. In addition small conservatory towards garden and walk up to top of garden for lovely view over Towy valley.
Good location for a range of places to visit e.g. National Botanic gardens, Aberglasney, Carreg Cennen castle---all within a 10 mile radius. Recommended pubs offering good meals within about 5 miles drive away

But the best part of the stay was the full Welsh/English breakfast, beautifully cooked and with eggs from their own hens. This really set us up for the day!

“Beautiful Bed & Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2008

This was a great bed and breakfast outside of Carmarthen. The rooms were immaculate, the beds were super comfortable and the hosts were wonderful people. They had helpful advice for sight seeing and great directions when we left to enable to get to our next location. The grounds were beautiful and allowed for a gorgeous view for sunset and sunrise.
