This charming hotel is situated in Llandovery. A total of 18 accommodation units are available for guests' convenience. Long ago, in our distant past we launched the first Welsh gastro pub and we've returned to our roots to renovate this charming Inn. In the best traditions of a Welsh coaching inn it has always been a place for travellers and visitors to rest, to replenish and recharge their batteries. It still is today. A warm and friendly place to unwind, you'll find a proper traditional bar, a roaring log fire to toast your toes and plenty of comfy sofas in which to lose yourself with a good book. The original rustic charm and character is still there, but we've added a few modern, fresh ideas. Our own love of food guarantees some seriously good food by our talented chefs. ‘Keep it real, simple & fresh
