Great food, well presented. Attentive staff.main dining area lacks the same ambience as the bar.Feels like a large canteen, needs something on the walls like the bar. Will be going back

We had a great stay. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is a very high standard. The breakfast was very good and for dinner we had a fish cake, burger and shepherds pie all of which were really tasty and used local ingredients. The lady serving in the restaurant was excellent. The only drawback is noisy rooms on the front of the hotel, due to traffic.

We spent 2 nights at The Cawdor. We loved the location because it is close to great areas for walking. However, the town has a lot of traffic through it day and night and this made it noisy at night - we live in the country and are not used to hearing traffic at night. A room at the back of the hotel would probably be a lot quieter. We booked a double room - it had two single beds put together into a large double which we weren't so keen on - the partition between the two was uncomfortable which made it a bit odd as we both felt like we didn't have much room in this huge bed. The bed was very soft and this was not good for us either. The room itself was spacious and clean. Room to hang clothes, a small amount of drawer space, plenty of lights and mirrors (but no mirror with adequate light for putting on make up) Plugs by the bed. There was a window seat and one chair. The room was very hot when we arrived but we were able to turn off the radiators and the window opened a little. We needed to leave the window open all night because the hotel was very hot everywhere...this added to the noise from traffic. The bathroom was nice, strange shower but it worked well. I missed having a shower head I can remove so I can wash more intimate areas! We stayed for breakfast and dinner during our stay and we really loved the food. We are vegetarian and there were good options for us...more options would be needed for a longer stay. Breakfast - croissants, pastries, muesli, yoghurt, cereals, toast, fruit, juice. Also cooked options - we loved the Glamorgan sausages, mushrooms, eggs, tomatoes and potatoes we had as our veggie breakfast. Dinner - we had the most amazing cauliflower and dahl dish - excellent and really filling. We also enjoyed the Welsh rarebit tart, the rigatoni and the desserts. Service was really good,all the staff were so helpful and relaxed. A lovely place to stay.

A fantastic stay at the Cawdor Hotel in Llandeilo as a solo business traveller. My bedroom was spotless, comfortable, and well presented, with a great bathroom that felt modern and well maintained. Parking was easy and secure, which was very convenient when travelling for work. For EV drivers, there is a single Tesla charger available on site – £10 for five hours or £20 overnight. It is a 50% current limited slower 3kW charger, but very handy to have. Overall, an excellent hotel with great facilities and a very welcoming atmosphere. I would happily stay again.

We live here 6 hours away and we have come back here twice because we were so impressed with the food. We first discovered this restaurant when we were staying in a nearby cabin. We ate the mussels and cottage pie, to start with drinks we also had the cheese and meat platter, we were so impressed, hadn’t tasted mussels as good as these before. We then had another trip to wales booked 7 months later, and travelled an hour to come back here. We ordered the same again and were truly impressed again! Hidden gem - wish it was closer to us.
