We had a lovely time. Couldnāt praise the owners or the premises enough. So helpful, attention to detail, decor and the breakfasts were fantastic. Would highly recommend it.
What a superb find, from the moment I booked I knew Id be in safe hands. The communication was exemplary, we organised breakfast in advance, Mark sorted dinner out for me. It was a first class stay in a wonderful village.
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.

Location:
The location was perfect, right in the town and close to everything we needed. It made getting around easy and added to the overall convenience of our stay.
Overall, a wonderful experience. We would definitely return!
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.
Really nice room ,comfy,clean and all the little additions are nice touches like hot water bottles ,chocolates,chocolate buttons ,gowns etc; makes it different from the rest ; breakfast was nice and filling ; and customer service was excellent; I stay away a lot with the company work I for and this is by far one of the best ones Iāve stayed in
Definitely one of the best Hotels weāve stayed at. The hosts were amazing and their attention to detail and care exceptional. A very enjoyable stay and will definitely book again if we visit Llanymddyfri.

Everything was brilliant from the hosts, the welcome, the room, the breakfast would highly recommend this B&B. It felt like a home away from home.
Stayed for 1 night and wish could have stayed longer
The hotel is absolutely lovely - lovely complimentary freshly baked cakes & biscuits and everywhere spotlessly clean
Our room was full of character and lovely touches - Clarins toiletries, chocolates and an impressive tea tray
The host are to welcoming and friendly - nothing is too much trouble
5* breakfast individually made
I would give it 10 out of 10 and rather wish we had our last night here rather than our first night as where are staying now feels very mediocre compared to the New Red Lion. We will definitely return. Everything was superb.
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.
