We had been off-road driving in the Cambrian Mountains and knew of the pub but weren't sure what welcome we would receive. It was beyond our expectations. The Landlord allowed us to park our two old Land Rovers on the grass at the back and set up camp. He was very relaxed about us having a camp fire and we... More

We had booked a triple room but when we arrived we asked for a single and a double. This was no trouble. I was shown to my room (which was not ready) where I had my bath immediately much appreciated after a long walk and when I finished, the bed was made immediately. The room was clean, nice and warm.... More

We had an overnight stop with our mobile home in the large carpark at the rear. Very quiet area, but it was a stormy evening! It was a Wednesday, and we were told that normally the restaurant is closed at this time of year, open weekends. Draught cider was off, so opted for red wine with the meal. Restricted menu.... More

I stayed here with a few friends for two nights. The room was nice and warm and the shower was amazing. Breakfast was great with good quality sausage and bacon and filter coffee too. We ate in the bar/ restaurant each night great homemade food and a really good choice of beers. Dominic was the head guy and so warm... More

I recently stayed at the Black Lion with a group of mates. From the first contact with Claire on booking to arrival some weeks later and meeting Dom, it was a first class experience. All the rooms were good, spacious clean and plenty of hot water. The bar area was first class and the food very good and great value.... More

A warm, friendly and genuine welcome as well as excellent value is at the heart of this historic inn just a mile or so from Strata Florida Abbey. Warm, comfortable rooms in converted buildings, close to a bubbling brook make for a great night's sleep. Waking to wild Wales and a hearty breakfast sets you up for the day if... More

We stopped over for a night on a long drive from Newcastle upon tyne to Lampeter, and enjoyed a really lovely, genuine, friendly welcome from Dominic. What a pleasure to stay somewhere so totally un-coporate, that's kept its unique character, run by someone who seems to take real pleasure in his work and in welcoming people. The food was a... More
