We came upon this quite by chance...& luck.... a truly wonderful find. The most idyllic views ( the owner very kindly made us a pot of tea on arrival & we just sat & gazed out at the mountains for as long as we could) The bedroom was really spacious & comfortable, with a lovely separate bathroom& loo. We enjoyed... More

We've just returned from a mini honeymoon staying in the self catering 'cottage' - we had originally booked a room in the main house but were later informed that the main house had been fully booked so were offered the cottage at a discounted rate. The owners are extremely welcoming and greeted us with a bottle of fizzy and strawberries... More

We stayed at porthmawr for 2nights at the end of November 2011 and absolutely loved it. Geoff and Linda were superb hosts and certainly made us feel at home. Our room was immaculate and tastefully decorated with beautiful furnishings. The breakfast was fantastic with local produce and plenty of it. We were in the area for a wedding at the... More

We stayed in their 2 bedroom annex which was nicely furnished and spacious. Very convenient locatoin as you can walk out through the back wall into the High Street and so leave your car in their drive. It is possible to take your breakfast in the main house if you wish at extra cost which we did once, but did... More

2 night stay as self catering travelling with colleagues for a business trip. The grounds are really nicely maintained and clean. They even have a couple of pot bellied pigs and chickens etc which really make it a true rural experience! The venue itself is very nice, it was freshly painted (smell was strong) and all communal areas were nicely... More

We had a faultless three day experience at Porthmawr in September 2011 having booked in May 2011. Every aspect of this venue is top class, the staff know when to be discrete and when to be visible. The rooms are immaculately clean and the grounds are beautiful. Attention to detail made our daughter's wedding day absolutely fantastic. Every guest commented... More

We held our wedding here at the beginning of July - what am amazing venue and the owners (Linda and Geoff) could not do enough to help us out. If it wasn't for them the day would not have run so smoothly. We hired a marquee to put on their lawn, and had the ceremony outside on their rose garden.... More

My husband and I held our wedding reception at Porthmawr Country House last September. It was a brilliant day from start to finish and so many people commented on the venue. We had a 90 by 30 marquee (held 130 people in the day) in the grounds and Geoff did the bar for us which was faultless! Linda also helped... More

We stayed here in May for a 2 night walking break. The B&B has been beautifully restored. Our room was very spacious (Raphael) and well appointed with lovely views. Geoff and Linda were very friendly hosts and the breakfast was fab. They also supplied us with a very tasty packed lunch for our day's walking. If only the weather could... More

Our daughter chose Porthmawr to get married in. A stunning site and a fabulous venue. The owners, Geoff and Linda were absolutely invaluable in the amount they helped with making it a perfect wedding. We hired the whole house for three days and every guest fell in love with it. Every room has its own character, each furnished uniquely. There's... More
