It was a weekend of superlatives! The scenery on the lively drive down to Llandovery was breathtaking. The property was lovely, quirky and incredibly well kept. David and Katherine are the perfect hosts - warm engaging and humerous. They welcomed our party like family and instantly we felt relaxed and cosseted. The lounge and dining room are stylish and comfortable.... More

Thanks for your review. It was lovely having you to stay and it is great when guests arrive in time for tea and scones and still have room for home made biscuits. They were cooling so were not in your room when you arrived. Hope the dinner party goes well and that the Prawn Thermidor is a hit. Glad the... More

“Lovely Place to Stay”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

We stayed for one night at The New White Lion in 2012 (this review is a little late!) - in the middle of a camping trip around Wales. I was keen to have one night of luxury in case the weather was bad. The owners are lovely and friendly and we were met with a tea and cake, which was... More

“Magical place to stay”

Reviewed 5 May 2013 via mobile

We are just sitting in the lounge having home-made scones with jam and cream, having spent the day biking around the area. We arrived yesterday with two other couples on bikes and were welcomed by Kathryn and David. The rooms are beautifully decorated and well equipped. All our party slept really well on comfortable beds. We had pre-dinner drinks in... More

“Great food, relaxed ambiance, amazing place to stay!”

We spent two nights in the new white lion for our 'mini-moon' following the madness of getting married. This was the perfect location for such a break. From the moment we arrived into the beautifully decorated lounge area and were served a cafetiere of coffee with warm home made scones with jam and cream we felt relaxed and at home.... More

Thank you for your lovely review, we really do feel special when people stay with us for their major celebrations. David is passionate about his cooking and he has improved the Blueberry cakes, you must try them again when you come back. Thanks again and hope your wife received her bag.

Visiting a relation in the West of England so thought we would spend a couple of days in Wales - saw this on TA so thought would try it out. Do not be put off by the appearance from the outside. Looks a bit drab in a fairly small street in a small Welsh Town. As soon as the door... More
