Having stayed here two years ago (2016) we were anxious to return to this absolutely lovely and well run B&B. Colin and Jacquie are wonderful hosts. It is so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and to relax in such wonderful atmosphere. Just love sitting on one of the outside benches, soaking up the gorgeous valley views. Rooms are very clean, comfortable and quiet. There is also a lovely and spacious upstairs lounge. Breakfast, prepared to order by Jacquie, and served by Colin, is gourmet. 5 stars to Colin, Jacquie and Allt y Golau Farmhouse.
Jacquie and Collin are so friendly hosts wich can't be better. From the exellent and fresh breakfast with any choises every day new, to the phantastic recommendations for things to do (vouchers included) we felt all the time welcome and enjoyed the really nice Poppy Room.We learned our first words in welsh there as well and get now a smile more in shops or restaurants here in wonderfull Wales.
Finding Allt Y Golau was like finding treasure. Colin and Jacquie are welcoming hosts who immediately made us feel very comfortable. The old farmhouse is beautiful and has been renovated designed and furnished really carefully. Our two rooms were attractive and looked after. Comfortable beds, exceptionally comfortable pillows, fresh-looking bedrooms and bathrooms. The bathrooms are more spacious than some 4-star places I've stayed at, and definitely more thoughtfully planned (see some of my other posts on the subject of hooks and mirrors). Allt Y Golau had towel rails within reach of the shower cubicle and lots of space for putting my own stuff. My mother loved that each bathroom had a chair. I loved the little bowl on the dressing table to keep rings etc. safe, and my sister loved the one with the cotton-wool. The fact that next to the tea-and-coffee-and-kettle etc. was a little scissors to open the sachets with tells you how much thought has gone into making guests comfortable. Breakfast around the big old table was like eating at home, but with hotel choice. Jacquie's own homemade bread and jams and marmalade, and eggs from their own hens were special. The Wi-Fi was not good, but in the evening we were able to keep up with the football on TV in the comfortable guest sitting room. When I booked Jacquie offered to make a dinner reservation at the Plough Inn in the village, which was essential as on a Saturday night they were full. Good meal and huge, but that's a different review. The area is very beautiful, lots of rolling hills and beautiful views from the terrace on the guesthouse, and driving to and from it. We were able to drive to the Pembrokeshire coast (both south and west) within less than an hour, and the Brecon Beacons National Park is even closer.…
We stayed here for two nights, occupying the two ground floor rooms (Poppy and Cornflower). The rooms are well equipped and cosy, and the upstairs lounge is a lovely place to while away the evening. Jacquie and Colin are consummate hosts, helpfully available but not intrusive. Jacquie prepares (and Colin serves) a great cooked breakfast with eggs from their own free range hens, but there are lots of other temptations (baked? peaches, lovely local honey and breads). The B&B is an old farmhouse with lots of character and we enjoyed the company of the hens, turkeys and geese wandering around the garden. It is beautifully quiet, on the edge of a small village yet only a few miles away from the A40. Lots to see and do locally (including many impressive castles) and a good choice of places to eat out. Recommended - it's certainly on our return list.…
This is a excellent B&B, with lots of charm, located in a quiet rural village just a short drive outside of Carmarthen, Wales. An ideal location for exploring Western Wales. The hosts, Jacqui and Colin, are very friendly and accommodating. They have lovingly restored this old farmhouse, while maintaining it's original character. The farmhouse is set back from the road and offers off street parking. The local pub, with friendly staff and good food and drink, is just a 2 minute drive, or 10 minute walk, down the road. Breakfast is not just hearty, it's gourmet ! We stayed 3 nights and are already considering a return visit next year.
