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 .

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.
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.
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 enjoyed my stay at the 'Pantyrathro Hilton'. The owner Ken was a really nice guy and very helpful. The hostel had a kitchen which was handy for cooking a meal in and a nice bar downstairs where you can relax with a pint and chat with Ken or the other guests. If I'm ever back in South Wales I'll be booking here again.
Breakfast was incredible with lovely views of the garden and surround landscape. The staff super friendly and most welcoming. It had parking and was in close enough proximity to the local town and botanical garden. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I'll definitely be coming back again when I'm next in Wales :)
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
There was a good, convenient place to store my bike. The reception staff were helpful and friendly. The dinner reasonable, but not much else available in town. The room was comfortable and good value for money. An average hotel, conveniently placed for the centre of town.
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.
Nice and quiet location but within short reach of beaches and also Camarthen. Good base for exploring that part of south Wales. Decor was a little bit dated but clean and comfortable and excellent value. It had everything we needed. Owner was very friendly and helpful
Excellent hotel, great staff and location in Carmarthen. Very good value for money and so much better than the usual hotel chains.
I've booked again for the end of October and looking forward to it again, Carmarthen is a lovely town to visit.
Thanks
The fact that it was on a farm. The breakfast choices were very good, and the owner just lovely. Friendly & helpful.
The location was perfect for where we wanted to go, & actually would have been perfect for anywhere on that side of South Wales.
Its great place to stay, just beware of the entrance to the carpark it is very tight anything bigger than a normal saloon car unlikely to fit but plenty of parking very close to the hotel and free after 6. To be fair the hotel do warn you.
Beautiful location, easy access by road, near the town & the beach.
Tidy, well furnished chalet with everything you need.
Plenty of things to do in the area (30min. drive radius).
Good communication with host.
Good value for money
The toll house looks small but is very spacious inside with all mod cons, and very comfortable definitely worth a stay, we loved this place ideal place to stay for access to all of west wales definitely be back soon
Breakfast included in price. Most hotels have stopped breakfast, and kept the price the same. And had VAT reduced during lockdown. The Drovers Arms is good value.
Fantastic facilities. This lady gives you more quality than the best hotels. So much variety for breakfast and evening drinks. Great value and lovely place.
