Not perfect but a pleasant stay.
Pros:

Location excellent. A short stroll to shops restaurants and pubs. Good choice at breakfast omelette full English and a selection of cereals. Carmarthen Castle a 10 min walk. Bed comfy Good quality pillows. Tea and coffee replenished daily however only got bikkies on our last day.

Cons:

Could be difficult for people with mobility issues. Quite a lot of stairs and slopes. Bath was very deep which made it hard to get in and out of the shower. Pidgeon feathers on sill in bathroom accumulated over our 4 night stay from the open window (it was very warm) they were never removed.

Two night August stay
Pros:

All the staff were very friendly and provided good customer service. The location is perfect in the town centre, and we were parked securely in the internal courtyard. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The choices for breakfast were good and table service was quick. I would recommend The Boars Head for a good value stay for singles, friends or families..

Cons:

Some larger vehicles may have difficulty getting into the car park as the access is quite narrow in some places.

Excellent breakfast but pity the water never got hot.
Pros:

The family room gave us enough space of spread out. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom looked as if it had recently been re-modelled. The food was excellent and always plenty on the plate. The staff were helpful and attentive.

Cons:

The water never got hot - no matter what time of day it was always tepid, so showering wasn't pleasant. The duvet was very heavy and tog rated for winter, even though there's a heatwave. (I went to the local Tesco and bought a summer duvet.) The stairs are very steep and awkwardly spaced in places so not good for folk with mobility issues.

Een aangenaam authentiek hotel met nette kamers, goede keuken en zeer vriendelijk personeel. De nadelen verbonden aan ee
Pros:

Gezellig typisch hotel, oud maar gerenoveerd. Leuke bar, aangenaam restaurant met lekker eten. Nette kamer en ruime badkamer. Zowel ontbijt als diner waren prima en het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Eigen parking maar beperkt aantal plaatsen en enge inrit (poort).

Cons:

De nadelen verbonden aan een oud gebouw: geen lift, moeilijke trappen en nauwe doorgang voor de parking.
