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.
The Boars Head is a town centre Pub/Hotel/restaurant.
Welcoming staff, nice room. I would stay here again if I was in the area. Good breakfast with one exception, the sausages are awful. I know the hospitality business is under financial pressure, but cheap budget sausages aren’t going to help. Everything else about the Boars Head was great, the room, free parking, lovely staff and an excellent pint of cask Double Dragon.
We had a delightful stay at the beautiful countryside cottage in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The cottage exudes elegance and coziness, complemented by breathtaking surroundings with a charming river view. Anne, the host, is not only friendly but also incredibly supportive—a truly down-to-earth woman. The convenient location, just five minutes from Skanda Vale Temple, adds to the overall appeal of this wonderful retreat.
Only stayed over night - but was impressed by the Olde Worlde Inn - Boars Head over the Fireplace - and a very good cooked Breakfast. Also felt safe for my Car in the Hotel's Rear Car Park. Very Handy for visiting the SOUTH WEST WALES COAST & COUNTRY. M4 MOTORWAY WAS VERY HANDY - 200 MILES TO TORBAY in SOUTH DEVON - ABLE to DRIVE DIRECT within 3 Hours!
Very peaceful location, a perfect place to de-stress but not a difficult last little distance from the main fuel carriage way, a very convenient location for exploring south Wales and getting away from the hustle and bustle.
Also the Hot Tub was always fantastically warm and clean.
On the last evening we got a visit from a local hedgehog.
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.
On arrival we were greeted by two very presentable, polite and very helpful young men. We had a really lovely room with good facilities including a bath. Our evening meal was first class as was the breakfast both served by really pleasant caring staff. Well done Falcon Hotel, we'll stay again.
I had some concerns after reading some reviews. Yes it is a pub and there is no reception but it was a great place to stay. I heard no nose at night trim the pub. And it was a good experience being in a welsh pub watching Wales win a match in the rugby cup. Food was very good. Staff very nice
Wish we would have found this place years ago, we come down to south wales once or twice a year. Bringing our dog means we are limited to were we can stay, but the potting shed is just what we needed. The potting shed was like a TARDIS, the pictures don't do it justice.
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 .
Wonderful room which was very comfortable and had all the necessary facilities. Also a fridge in the room which was an unexpected extra. The breakfast was well cooked. The location was great as it was in the centre of the town and included parking. Friendly staff
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 .
Great location and fantastic hosts. A nice hotel to stay at, although we staying in one of the pods. We had breakfast both mornings we were there and the food was excellent. We would definitely consider coming back here again.
Our stay at the New Park Hotel was lovely , the hotel was beautiful and the staff were just a message away if we needed anything! Will definitely book to stay here again. Thank you very much.
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
Very nice small Hotel, very close to all that the Market town of Carmarthen offers, nice decor, comfortable bed, good breakfast, friendly staff and very good value.
