We are overwelmed with the "Best in Britain" comment "Best in Wales" would have been suffice, but thank you very much for your kind comments and scores.

This was clean quiet and a great refuge for a weekend . When we opened the curtains the view was excellent with the lovely river and lovely garden. Having been touring in Australia and New zealand the freshly cooked breakfast was super and would certainly recommend Steve and Paul as great hosts. Lyn and Keith.

Have stayed with Paul and Steve twice in the last month while on business in Carmarthen. The location is peaceful and idyllic overlooking the river and fields. I chose this guest house partly because they provide evening meals - I wasn't disappointed. The food is great, a good choice and well-presented. The charming small restaurant overlooks the gardens and river.... More

This was our first visit to Paul & Steve's great guest house but I don't think it will be our last. There were 4 of us in our party and we occupied the 'Swan' & Otter' rooms, which represents half of the accommodation as there are just 4 rooms. The welcome from the boys was warm & friendly with a... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Ty Castell Guest House is located in the hamlet village of Nantgaredig in Carmarthen on the banks of the river Towy and is the closest 4 star guesthouse to the National Botanic Gardens of Wales with its own gardens open under the NGS, offering quality evening meals as well as a traditional breakfast. All rooms are en-suite, modern and extremely comfortable. From the windows, you can enjoy yet more views of the river. Throwing the windows open, a lovely fragrance of countryside, greenery, fresh air and "wild Wales" enters your room. The Breakfast/Dining Room is housed in a delightful conservatory that allows you to look out across the river Towy and beautiful gardens. Spend some time in the solitude and peace of this green, remote region – where dairy herds graze on some of the best grassland in the British Isles; where the peregrine, red kite and buzzard live; where campion thrives at the side of winding lanes; and where steam trains run on rails that thread through ancient Celtic woodland. What better base for your Welsh peregrinations than Ty Castell – the quiet guest-house where you will truly find a welcome in the valley. The Towy and Cothi Valleys are best known as areas of outstanding beauty, brimming with lakes and legends. They offer a diversity of interests and activities to the visitor. ... more   less
