Stayed for 2 nights. We already knew the location having lived nearby, it enjoys wonderful views over the Towy Estuary and Ferryside. Service was excellent and the standard of the decor and room live up to its 5 star rating.
Had a lovely dinner and overnight stay for a birthday. Nice rooms, good food and wonderful views. Staff were all very friendly and had lovely chat with both the owners. The pride and passion in their property is abundant and adds to the charm
Family owned with very helpful and attentive staff. My wife is disabled following a stroke and there was always someone there to help her. Food is excellent with a good menu choice. A very pleasant stay.
Excellent for a quiet, rural place to stay -though fairly close to Carmarthen. Beautiful views from the bed and dining-rooms of the estuary and countryside. We received excellent service, the room was superb and the food was first class.
In an elegant, early 1800s building overlooking Carmarthen Bay, this classy event hotel is 6.5 miles from both central Carmarthen and St. Catherine's Walk Shopping Centre, and 32 miles from Swansea city centre.
