Really enjoyable experience

Reviewed By grees00

Room was spotless and looked recently decorated. Fridge was welcome and generous amount of tea/coffee/milk provided. Bed was comfortable, wifi was excellent and puts a well known budget hotel company's "ultimate" wifi to shame. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious, service was fast. Couldn't fault our stay, would very happily visit again.

Needs serious work doing

Reviewed By LADYGalway

Stayed here end of April as train only goes as far as Carmarthen from fishgaurd, night porter was friendly, went into the bedroom even though the the bed was clean and comfortable the furniture really needed serious updating carpet was very dirty, the furniture was all peeling, in the corner was a chair against a door obviously leading to another room that was occupied at that time. In the bathroom (disabled I should mention ) it was actually spotless too yes needs updating, one thing I should mention in the shower it need a thing to hold shampoo and gel etc. Breakfast was fine plenty to choose from, I did notice a lot of painting in the lobby and in the restaurant and new carpet so hopefully they will start on the bedrooms soon, I would stay again for convenience sake .

Not busy at the time of visit

Reviewed By suelongshaw

Not busy Limited menu really we had veg stew and Cheddar dumplings which was very nice but my preference would be that it could be hotter Nice waiter very polite He had to say twice to the next customers that the veg stew had run out so I'm thinking it may have been warmed in the microwave it came out too quickly for my liking even though it was tasty

Reviewed By Welshexile1963

Stayed for 2 nights for £70 a night, the room is a little worn and could do with some TLC, the ariel for the TV was broken but not an issue for us as we were out most of the time. The breakfast was good 6 out of 10, the bed was very comfy.

Cilwen Country House Bed & Breakfast

We are located in the wonderful, rural Carmarthenshire countryside just 10 minutes scenic drive from the historic market town of Carmarthen, the oldest town in Wales. We are centrally situated to access the many beautiful beaches of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion, and all major tourist attractions in the area.

So glad we found this place

Reviewed By heathercD6633SJ

We were feeling fed up having a holiday cancelled at the last minute so decided to have a few days away and came across this B&B just by chance on the internet. We had a wonderful 4 night stay and everything was absolutely top notch. Room was warm, comfortable , excellent facilities ,lovely bathroom and shower ,would loved to have tried the beautiful deep free standing bath but being rather mature was worried I might not be able to get out so I decided to stick with the power shower. Lovely and peaceful surroundings ,you do need a car though it's quite remote but that's what we wanted and only a short drive into Carmarthen where there are plenty of places to eat. Breakfast was amazing so much choice I didn't bother with the full English, pancakes with apples, yoghurt and maple syrup were my favourite and I succumbed to those twice, the cilwen crumble another favourite with granola, seasonal fruits yoghurt and oats ,omelettes yes I tried them all absolutely delicious followed by homemade toasted bread and homemade jams. Adrian and Jeff were so nice and friendly nothing was too much trouble for them .loved the chickens and guinea fowl that serenaded us while we are our breakfast. We will definitely come back had a lovely few days and there was absolutely nothing not to like .

Lovely visit

Reviewed By NorthStar744648

Really enjoyed the food here on a Saturday afternoon! We both had cockles and lava bread to start, for main I had Shish kebabs and other half had ribs, he was debating to add a steak or chicken to it and was glad he didn’t as the portion was massive!! Reasonably priced for what we had I thought, definitely go back.
