Got ignored at arrival, happened again after check while waiting for a drink. Staff were not very courteous, and not very friendly. Got woke up by screaming in the street 2am, and bin men 5.30 am. Won't be returning.

Was a lovely break for my bf birthday. We

We saw the town on a Sunday. Vey quiet. However, there is more to the town than first glance (just), but too much retail - so much unoccupied. Given history, very little historic class on view. The hey day has gone, what now? Perfect accommodation, very close to town.

There are some really interesting shops and businesses in the town centre. Sadly, in common with many towns, there are too many empty/closed shops and rundown buildings. That said Carmarthen's location is ideal for visiting the NBGW

Carmarthen was a nice town to walk around for a day but I wouldn’t want to stay longer than a long weekend. The castle was locked with no reason or explanation when the internet states it’s open ? Many tourists were also under the same impression as us and miss informed by Google.

For a bank holiday and festival weekend, there seemed to be very little going on. Difficult to find a restaurant meal, so had to get takeaway. From that point of view, we probably didn't see the town at its best.
Enjoyed a trip on the steam railway, and few minutes drive from the town, and know from previous visits to the area that the surrounding countryside is lovely,as is the river.
I was travelling as a single parent with five children and needed a spot to stay overnight. The six-bed dormitory was just fine for our needs, linen was clean and helpful to have an en-suite with shower to ourselves. The accommodation was basic but for the price I was happy. Setting absolutely beautiful and the proprietor very helpful.
Spotlessly clean comfortable house in very quiet area 7 mins drive to town centre. Great location for exploring South Wales. Weather was fab so we really enjoyed eating out in garden Would recommend trip to the Gower and Kidwelli castle..all easily accessed from house. Great Indian takeout nearby which delivers 😀
Wish we would have found this place years ago, we come down to south wales once or twice a year. Bringing our dog means we are limited to were we can stay, but the potting shed is just what we needed. The potting shed was like a TARDIS, the pictures don't do it justice.
The hotel/pub is very basic , cheap furniture in the room , very small telly etc etc . It was clean and staff were good , the breakfast was very good . You pay for what you get ! £63 inc of breakfast is cheap in todays market especially in a town like Carmarthen .
Falcon Hotel is a lovely place, the staff are amazing every each one of them, the food is lovely breakfast is lovely best fried bread ever had. Food is cooked to order so always hot seriously Falcon Hotel is a lovely place to stay we will return
The little snug is a really cosy place to stay in Wales. The location is just perfect with the car easy to move to the nearby town. Thanks Jo for create such a lovely place. And make ours stay just a perfect break out of the busy London 👌 ✨️
Its great place to stay, just beware of the entrance to the carpark it is very tight anything bigger than a normal saloon car unlikely to fit but plenty of parking very close to the hotel and free after 6. To be fair the hotel do warn you.
The toll house looks small but is very spacious inside with all mod cons, and very comfortable definitely worth a stay, we loved this place ideal place to stay for access to all of west wales definitely be back soon
Central location of hotel was perfect for exploring the town.
Very helpful barman, who recommended the best restaurant in Carmarthen.
Room was clean and comfortable.
Nice breakfast.
Easy parking.
Our stay at the New Park Hotel was lovely , the hotel was beautiful and the staff were just a message away if we needed anything! Will definitely book to stay here again. Thank you very much.
Absolutely everything , anybody thinking of taking a break with the clean fresh air in Wales just go ahead and book as soon as you can . The host couldn't make you more welcome
Fantastic facilities. This lady gives you more quality than the best hotels. So much variety for breakfast and evening drinks. Great value and lovely place.
Location good, 4 mile to Carmarthen, fuel nearby, able to go in multiple directions to see South Wales Everything worked and all cooking utensils there.
This location was beautiful the only thing I would say is make sure you drive because it is in the middle of nowhere and taxi one way to town cost £30 .
