Really enjoyed our stay, only negative I have is that the door to the room was difficult to open, but that was because it was clear the room had been given a new comfortable carpet. Breakfast was great, lovely atmosphere

The hotel is in the heart of Carmarthen city centre with easy access to all the shops and restaurants. It's easy to drive to the neighbourhood beaches, gardens. We love the stays in the hotel. The waitresses are very friendly and helpful. The English breakfasts are wonderful.

Had a very nice and cosy overnight stay. Nice breakfast, friendly staff, well-presented room with a very nice bathroom. Could perhaps do with an extra blind or window covering to keep more light out. Vegan as well as veggie options at breakfast would be good too.

It is in the town centre and seemed quiet and peaceful. On a one way system. I missed the entrance and had to go round the town to get access to the parking area, which was only just manageable in a medium sized vehicle. My room was one of two in an annexe which only links to the main hotel via the outside parking area. It wasn't very brightly lit and bedside lamp didnt work. I went in search of a light bulb but to no avail. As I couldn't read in my room, I went to the cinema, which was only 5 minutes walk. There was a decent en suite bathroom. Breakfast in the main hotel was very nice and I only saw two other guests. I returned my key to a waitress . It didnt seem to matter who I gave it to!ĺ

I enjoyed my stay but the second set of stairs were very steep. I was on my hands and knees going up they were so steep, this is a very old building. I am in my 80s so found this challenging. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless and modern. Everyone was helpful and polite. All in all a pleasant stay.

Convenient position on the main street with bus stops at the front. Difficult small car park but ok for small car. Twin room off the carpark clean but needed tlc (sellotape holding shower rail together/no spare loo roll, one radiator cold, bathroom flooring peeling away. Recommend info of key/breakfast access/times in room. Staff friendly.

The only issue we had regarding our stay was that the Expedia booking confirmation stated a 1:00pm check-in time, yet at the property the check-in time is actually from 2:00pm, which did cause a bit of hassle on the day we arrived, as we had to get off to a wedding

Unable to stay due to storm Babette. Had to click on one to send a message. No rail access to Sheffield from Lincoln for two days

The room was a little 'tired' but generally OK. Unfortunately the heating in the rooms was not on so it was occasionally cool. The hotel did apologise once we had pointed this out to them. The restaurant was good and the staff friendly. We would have liked prepared fruit for breakfast instead of a limited selection of unprepared fruit. Parking on site in a monitored car park was a real bonus. The hotel is in a fantastic location for access to the town centre and the bus and rail stations. Could not have been better from that point of view.

Lovely stay with good staff. Restaurant closed quite early for a Friday night was the only thing I could possibly suggest for improvement.

Nice, clean room. Was quite noisy as it overlooked the street. The shower was tiny, practically impossible to shower without washing your hair. The breakfast was really good in a lovely dining area, we also had lunch which was also good. Friendly staff, overall a good experience.
