We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Mark and Karen were superb hosts and clearly take pride and care in providing a great experience for their guests, Everything, from the warm welcome to the super comfortable and pristine room and the tasty, well presented breakfast was top notch. Everywhere smells lovely and fresh too! The comfortable lounge area is a little oasis and the honesty bar a great touch, a lovely space to relax and round the evening off with a night cap. The New White Lion is a real gem, highly recommend.

You could not expect any more from a hotel.

Had a 3 night stay at The new white lion in Llandovery. The room was spotless packed with everything you would expect. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choice and good quality ingredients. The hot breakfasts were cooked to perfection. The hosts were extremely friendly, giving plenty of help and ideas on what to do whilst there, nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for everything and we hope to come again soon.

What a lovely night away. Mark and Karen were brilliant hosts. Clean rooms with all the amenities you need. Great array of drinks and snacks available. Soft towels and comfy beds. Delicious breakfast cooked by Karen. All the ingredients were excellent quality and cooked excellently. A perfect little base for a weekend in Wales. We enjoyed walking Pen Y fan. Mark recommended a local pub for a drink in the evening and there was some live music going on. Karen even gave us some pastries to enjoy on our walk.

Absolutely fabulous!

Our stay at the New white Lion Hotel was amazing. The owner was so welcoming and took special care to explain everything. The room itself was gorgeous and my partner and I slept really well. The breakfast was very special. With a bespoke Kenyan inspired dish (as our host was originally from Kenya), was very tasty indeed. There was an obvious attention to detail that made our stay really relaxing.
