I stayed in the cottage next door and it was a home away from home. Very clean and tidy with an oven, microwave, fridge freezer and all the pots and pans.The bed was cosy and warm with an ensuite bathroom.The pub was attacked next door so it was just one door down. I was greeted by the bar man and he was very friendly and cheery.I ordered the local lamb chops with mash, vegetables, gravy with mint sauce. Lovely good sized portion and the chops were melt in the mouth.I had to leave early so I mentioned this to the bar man and he had a word with the chef and she did me a packed lunch which was also spot on.All n all a lovely stay. And a thank you to the lady and gentleman that chatted to me for an hour or so about the local attractions.

A lovely little place. The owners were so nice. The room was clean and tidy, the food was tasty and the whisky was superb. Highly recommended (especially if you spend a little time at the bar for a good chat)

We did not stay but attended a party. We had a good time but was overcrowded.Such a large party of people should have been discouraged. Food was good,

Well where do I start?||From arriving to leaving, nothing was to much trouble for Sion and Sandra. ||This is not a run of the mill B&B it's a place where you are welcomed with open arms and made to feel part of the community. …

Stayed at the cottage over Winter. A wonderful welcome from Sandra and Sean. The cottage was cosy and warm with great facilities. A small patio garden at the rear. The valley was picturesque. I loved that we were within driving distance of the market town of Newcastle Emlyn and the historical Carmarthen. There was also a handy bus every hour to Carmarthen or to Cardigan (460). A lovely country pub with fantastic food and an excellent selection of beers. We have recommended it to friends.

The cottage is lovely. Clean and fully equipped which was great for my small family. Everything was clean and modern but it had that old cottage feel too. Underfloor heating ensured we were warm. The kitchen is ideal for self catering and the two bathrooms are more than adequate. The bonus of parking just two or three steps away from the door was welcome. The hosts were incredibly welcoming. We soon discovered that the inn next door was also a great place for an evening out. Great beer and food. There is also a lovely large fireplace with log fire. We could not fault anything about the cottage or the inn. We look forward to staying again and we wholeheartedly recommend both places as a great place to stay.

The food is quite unbelievable here. It's not cheap, and with the chef alone in a small kitchen they can't handle lots of covers, but it's honestly Michelin star quality. Bizarrely, the menu does not cover any vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc options, but ask! They have all these and more, and not just a 'veggie dish of the day', but rather secret menus of quite spectacular dishes - really, even if you eat meat, ask!The bar selection is limited, but the sheer insanity of the single barman/owner makes up for this in pure entertainment value. With just the couple who run the place responsible for everything, don't expect fast food, but the hosts will keep you entertained while you wait, and once again the food is really worth waiting for.Outdoor seating at the back, with a couple of sheltered tables. I can't comment in rooms or breakfast as we didn't stay here. Opens 6pm six days a week to non-residents. Closed on Sundays.

We chose this Inn because it was close to where we wanted to be. ||I had read previous reviews and thought that not everyone could be wrong!||We stayed for one night in a room that was spotless and had everything we needed. …

Went to this pub recently when it actually decide to open, Don't have a tab , pay for your drinks as and when you purchase them and being offered a sample of a drink is not complimentary the cost is charged to your tab even if you didn't …
