Fantastic stay
Fantastic stay here with my boyfriend last night. We arrived by bike and called beforehand to let them know and they kindly allowed us to keep our bikes safe in a ground floor room just off the courtyard. Reception lady was so lovely and check in was a breeze, the room was gorgeous and spotless, the bed was comfy. Massage shower was a bonus! Breakfast that was included was outstanding - full Welsh breakfast was great for two hungry cyclists! We also ate in the restaurant and staff and food were both fabulous. Will definitely be back.

A lovely quirky hotel with an amazing evening meal
A fantastic welcome by a friendly member of staff. A lovely quirky hotel, however, not disable friendly, but I guess that’s to do with being a listed building. The food was amazing with lovely fresh ingredients. The mussels were probably the best I’d had and the trio of pork was delightful. Only negative being, the bar closed early, The breakfast was ok. Fresh fruit salad would have been nice as I am lactose intolerant and cereals aren’t something I go for. Also baked beans with the breakfast would also have been something we all would have liked to have seen on offer. We were a party of 6 celebrating a 60th birthday and all 6 stayed the night. Will definitely be returning.

The hotel is beautiful and food good although evening meal better than breakfast which is quite basic. Room was lovely and bed comfortable with a great bath. Restaurant staff were good but bar staff less polite. The most negative part of the experience was a rude demand to settle evening meal bill despite having a tab as a resident.

Stayed for our anniversary and had a room upgrade with rose petals on the bed. This was a lovely touch. Looked after so well in the restaurant - amazing meal especially the desserts. All of the waitresses were super friendly and very helpful which made our whole experience extra special. Excellent breakfast too

No good for the price
I have to say for the price you charge its not a good room. The floors creak theres a bath were i think.it should only need a shower bit thats my personal preference. Breakfast was not good sausage was under cooked sliced potatoes were under cooked sliced tomatoes under cooked bacon was lovely black pudding was only half a portion. In my opinion its to expensive for what it is. We had another room thhe day before in another town 16.miles away i wish wed stayd there now.

The hotel should jnform guests to drop bags out front in the loading zone, then direct you to the car park, As older travelers, the trip UP the hill to get the bags and down the steps could have been eliminated with some advanced communication

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately as multiple guests have received parking tickets while using the council loading bay, we do not like to recommend our guests to park there and unload bags. We instead offer valet parking and assistance with luggage.

Mixed feelings
Very good parking but steep and slippery slippery steps from the car park. Bedroom quite small and very warm. Traffic noise is loud as room is on the front. Nice bathroom. Lots of stairs and no lift. Good breakfast mediocre dinner…… Great staff!

Heart attack
Very large dinner portions - a bit too much, although quality was good. Woken at 3am by the television coming on in the room with volume! Good job I don't have a heart problem. Also, I ordered scrambled eggs without the smoked salmon for breakfast. What was I served with? Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon!!!

Clean and friendly
The hotel was really well located, the staff were really friendly and super helpful. The food in the restaurant and breakfast was really good, very tasty and they adapted menu choices for vegetarians, so really great. The hotel itself is nice but just a bit tired, in need of a bit of a refresh and fittings need repairing. Everything was clean but just a bit tired and needed updating. The coffee at breakfast was pretty terrible so perhaps a coffee machine rather than very weak cafetières would be good.

The hotel is striking being painted red and on the roadside. We had promised ourselves a stay so we could look around the town and surrounding area. The hotel is clearly an important part of Llandeilo’s history and integral to many social events in the town. Our only concern is the car park. It is difficult to find and access to the hotel involves walking down two flights of stairs over the hotel roof and down into the hotel courtyard! Better signage is essential. Nice friendly staff Good hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cawdor. Great food and excellent staff. The room was very pleasant. The onmy small thing missing was a seperate resident's lounge where one could relax away from the diners.

Feeling hot hot hot
Location is good, the provision of parking is useful and the food isn't too bad. However the room we were given wasnt far off sub tropical temperatures and with a window that only opened a couple of inches there was no way to attempt to cool it down. Plus there was some sort of plumbing issue that mean a sound akin to an aircraft toilet flushing every 5 minutes or so throughout the night kept us awake. Personally i would recommend this hotel was well avoided until they've sorted out their overheating and plumbing problems. Which is a shame as with a bit of effort it could be a really comfortable place to stay....but for now....DON'T.
