    My grandparents tv did not work, was next to a noisy road, beds were slightly uncomfortable (but sooo cool)

    OMG it was so cool and cute. I walked through the halls and it felt like I was living in the Merlin Tv show. I was soo happy with the general aesthetic of the place

    the mattress was very squishy, but this was a personal preference. (currently) nowhere to eat in Llangadog but the butcher's pies over the road were exceptionally good.

    Beautiful room, very opulent four poster bed. Hotel has lots of character and the staff were nice.

    There were a couple of minor things but they didn't spoil our stay: The windows didn't open so you couldn't let fresh air into the room, there was a green emergency light which stayed on all night and it made it difficult for me to get off to sleep and the mattress was very soft.

    The room was done in a grand traditional style and was a good size. The corridors and stairs also had old historical items like a suit of armour, coats of arms, paintings etc. The staff were friendly and helpful

    Queen Elizabeth 1st was delightful.

    No meals available. No evening meal or breakfast. We had been at a market stall all day in the rain and just wanted a warm meal but we settled for packet sandwiches from a local co-op. This was available when I booked and then received an email after booking saying no food available. So that was a shame.

    It's a wonderful old building. Loads of character. We had the pleasure of sleeping with Elizabeth 1st . Yes you read that right. I did ask the staff the reason behind the names she couldn't tell me. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The bed was really comfy and. Clean. It was a 4 post bed and the room was set in a royal deep red and gold theme, with old dark wooden large furniture.The colour continues to the bathroom with red wall paper where the steam of a bathroom had started to warp the paper. The cleaners do an amazing job with such an old building. Don't come to this building with a spirit level. As nothing is level. The floors or the walls. But it is very much a very Old building in a small town. It's a case of you get what you pay for. Don't book this place and expect the Hilton for the price you're paying. But if you're just needing a place to lay your head for a reasonable fee that is clean and covers the basics then this place does the job. In the room there was a TV which did work. and the basics of kettle coffee tea ect. White towels. Think that covers it.

    As stated above there was initially a problem with room lights and kettle lead but like I said above they quickly rectified this therefore a positive as opposed to a negative.

    Great location and great pub atmosphere downstairs watching the NZ v Italy Rugby World Cup match, There was an initial problem with lights not working when I arrived but they quickly rectified this so overall very good.

    Its a pity that Breakfast is no longer available.

    A quaint historic building, with a friendly Bar ( no food ) Bedroom Access is via a flight of Stairs. Our Bedroom was Spacious & the Bed had a very comfortable new mattress. The ensuite was spotless & seems to be a recent refurb - there was plenty of Hot Water . The receptionsist is exceptionally helpful . The Shop across the road , sells snacks & newspapers.

    I could be niggly, but for the price I don't think I can really complain about anything.

    Fairly big room with lots of space and a big bed. Lots of little details that make the place special.
