Einfach toll!!
Pros:

Die Gastfreundschaft von Mark und Karen lohnt eine Reise nach Llandovery. Das Hotel ist unglaublich liebevoll eingerichtet und geführt. Eine tolle Auswahl an Frühstücksgerichten im hübschen Frühstückszimmer, Tee, Kaffee und eine Auswahl an verschiedenen Gebäcken im gemütlichen Aufenrhaltsbereich…tolle Beratung betreffend möglichen Aktivitäten in der Umgebung. Wir haben uns in den drei Tagen sehr Zuhause gefühlt. Llandovery ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt um Brecon Beaton zu erkunden. Tipp: ein Besuch im Antiquitätengeschäft vis a vis des Bahnhofs lohnt sich!!!

Wonderful - we hope to return!
Pros:

Beautiful room in a lovely building, but what made it really outstanding was the kindness and generosity of the owners. Everything was taken care of, from coffee flasks for our wet bike ride to shoe-drying afterwards.

The best B&B we’ve ever stayed at.
Pros:

Warm welcome upon arrival with both Mark & Karen spending time with us to explain the property and what tourist attractions were nearby and best suited to our Likes.
Lovely, comfortable room with new shabby-chic furniture.
Superb breakfast with fabulous veggie options, coupled with extra’s such as free biscuits and cookies and pastries for our walk.
Safe, secure parking. We have an expensive new sports car, but slept well knowing it was secure.

Cons:

The fact we only stayed 2 nights and as this was the first stay of our roadtrip, other accommodation would struggle to match such high standards.

Dit is echt een pareltje van een hotel. De perfecte uitvalsbasis om de mooie streek te verkennen!
Pros:

Mark en Karen, de uitbaters waren er steeds om ons te verwennen en om goede tips te geven. We kregen bovendien een gratis upgrade. Het ontbijt "à la carte" was heel lekker bereid door Karen en perfect opgediend door Mark. We voelden er ons echt thuis!

Cons:

Niets

Our daughter recommended this hotel, after she stayed there. Did not disappoint.
Pros:

Our stay was for 3 nights. The owners Mark and Karen made us feel very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. The breakfast was excellent, so much choice. Good choice of pubs within walking distance and activities were from 40 minuets drive, depending where you want to go. Highly recommend this hotel.

Cons:

I could not fault this hotel.
