With roots that date back to the 18th century, the hotel has been a staple of Carmarthen culture, with a rich history that includes visits from luminaries Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. This historic hotel harmoniously combines traditional elegance with contemporary conveniences, playing an important role in Welsh culture.
