The New White Lion

Our first visit to Llandovery and spent 3 nights at The New White Lion. There are not enough words to recommend the wonderful hosts Karen and Mark. Nothing was too much trouble they catered for our every need and more. Such a relaxing chilled environment especially after a full days of activities! There was a lounge to chill in and an honesty bar which was a wonderful added touch, free tea, coffee the most delicious hot chocolate and free homemade cookies , cakes and pastries, a real quiet country house setting. The rooms were beautifully presented with each one having its own individual touch, free toiletries (shower gel / bath soak, shampoo etc) that were topped up. Karen and Mark really know how to make you feel so welcome. Lastly the breakfasts, just wow! Cannot give enough stars to say how great they were which included home made croissants, home made sour bread, full English and so much more. Karen really went over and above to make sure we had whatever we wanted and all the food was delicious . Another added bonus was the detailed information and recommendations that Karen and Mark gave for places to visit and places to eat our evening meal. We will certainly be back.

Our stay here was just perfect. Where to begin…The rooms are spacious and clean, there are luxurious soaps, chocolats etc. Breakfast is super, there is a very nice living room with free coffee, tea and pastries. And the hosts are really friendly, giving advice on walking tours and other activities. So the best B&B we have seen, definitely worth a visit!

What A Gem!!! We have high quality self catering in North Wales, so when we do go away, we like to treat ourselves to something special,, We were so pleased with our Choice in The NWL,,!! Karen, Mark & Poppy,, looked after us impeccably!! Their Hospitality & attention was/is second to none!! We stayed in The Phyicians of Myddfai Suite ! Absolutely Outstanding!! We would Definitely recommend a stay here, and we hope to return to this wonderful establishment soon!! Dez & Charli

We were a hot air balloon team that took four of the rooms for a weekend stay in May whilst flying from Llandovery. Each of the rooms was very well appointed, had an individual boutique style and was really comfortable. Mark and Karen were the perfect hosts, accommodating a very late arrival by two of the team, some early starts and flexible breakfast times, all with good grace. As mentioned by other reviewers, the breakfasts are very special indeed, with everything freshly cooked to order. Each of the team thought that they were the highlight of the stay. The residents lounge with its wood burner, selection of homemade cakes and honesty bar was a welcome treat at the end of each day. We will certainly be staying here again on our next visit to Llandovery and have no hesitation in recommending The New White Lion to others.

Stayed in the New White Lion for a couple of nights as a based to travel the area and explore. Can not rate this accom highly enough - the hosts are the most welcoming couple you can meet. Rooms are very highly appointed and extremely comfortable. Stylish and contemporary to the building, you very definitely get a sense of relaxation from the off. The day will start with a fabulous breakfast with the even the "small" Full English leaving you with no need to eat until much later in the day !. The range of choice for breakfast is more than enough for most - but if you have differing requirements just let Karen know ahead of time and she's sure to deliver.. Take the opportunity to explore with walks and history local to the area or take a short and fun drive into Swansea for some Brunch action or shopping.. Back to the accommodation you will find plenty of choice for evening drinks with the local pubs offering a selection of different atmospheres alongside a wide range of eating options in the same locale.. Not one to be missed...

Our room was really lovely and had everything we could wish for. Breakfast was fabulous and our hosts Karen and Mark were welcoming and attentive. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this for a break in Llandovery.

This is an exceptional guest house/hotel run to a very high standard by Mark and Karen. Our room (Physicians of Myddfai) was roomy and spotless. Breakfast was a great start to the day. Despite the (very wet!) weather, Llandovery and its locality provided plenty of interest and history to pursue. A most enjoyable stay and highly recommended.

Just returned from a wonderful night's stay at the New Lion Inn Beautiful historical building - lovely furnishing with such charm and attention to detail Mark and Karen were very friendly and welcoming - and so is Poppy the Dog Amazing choice at breakfast - whether you are a meat eater or a vegetarian - well cooked and beautifully presented. All local produce Parking included at the back of the B&B and the town is basically a 1 minute walk away A really lovely stay - and we hope to return one day

We used the hotel as a base for a few cycling trips in the Cambrian mountains and Brecon Beacons. It was a fantastic stay, not only were we made very welcome, had a lovely room, with great touches such as fresh milk kept in the corridor outside, and complimentary home baked biscuits etc in the afternoon, but it was also very well equipped for cyclists with a proper storage room for bicycles etc. I would unhesitatingly recommend it for anyone looking to cycle in the Cambrian mountains or the Brecon Beacons. I'd also unhesitatingly recommend it for anyone else as its a really good base to explore this part of Wales. For cyclists - If you haven't cycled in the Cambrian mountains you should give it a go. Virtually no cars (I think 8 cars passed us on an 80km ride), stunning scenery - and some truly monstrous climbs. (Look up The Devil's Staircase as one example).
