I had a wonderful stay at this hotel in the beautiful Welsh town of Laugharne. The rooms in the building at the back on the top floor were spacious and even had a Nespresso machine which was a nice touch. The service varied from not very helpful to incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect, close to everything you need to visit, with great parking and just a stone's throw away from the stunning Laugharne Castle. The dining experience, while nice overall, could use some improvements, especially with the breakfast options. The facilities were satisfactory overall, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great moments and a few setbacks. The room was fabulous and cozy, although a bit noisy from the bar downstairs and the street. The service was delightful and very helpful, with a touch of Welsh hospitality. The location was perfect for exploring the historic area and enjoying scenic walks. The dining experience had its highlights but also some room for improvement. Overall, a lovely stay with a few hiccups.

The room was small but very comfortable, with an excellent bathroom. However, it was directly above the bar, making it really noisy until midnight. Woken up early by breakfast setup noises and the rumble of the coffee machine. Street-side rooms were noisy.

My stay at the hotel was mostly delightful, although there were a few drawbacks. The rooms, despite being in the roof eves and having limited headroom, were superb in terms of comfort, especially the excellent bathroom. The service was top-notch, with the staff being very helpful and pleasant, making it a great value for money. The location was ideal for exploring the town, being close to Laugharne Castle and offering various activities within walking distance. The dining experience was pleasant, but not as exceptional as anticipated. Overall, a good choice for a short stay with some lovely amenities.
