It was August Bank Holiday weekend; my brother and his American wife were flying from Denver, Colorado and wanted to meet the family. We planned to ride on the Gwili Railway, which meant that we would be really late for lunch. …

We ate here several times recently while staying in the area. The food was excellent- my wife particularly loved the Welsh lamb chop in mint jelly. Gemma and Jackie were great hosts and made us feel very welcome

Stayed at the Inn while visiting Skanda Vale and was very surprised to experience the homely feeling you get at this place. The welcome was warm and the rooms are clean and comfy just like home. The breakfast was great and included options for Vegetarians which was a plus. Wasn't expecting much due to the location but have to admit that I was wrong. It was an overall pleasant experience and would recommend.

Where to start... I have passed here so many times and it looks so inviting. My advice, keep passing. |The joke around the bar is “ Don’t ask for anything or you will be sorry” and we were. …
