Booked through the Mr & Mrs Smith website. Great B&B - our room was big, clean, stylish with nice bathroom. Food is excellent (had dinner there one night) and service was brilliant. Sylvia and Gerald were fantastically helpful - great suggestions for bike rides, walks, restaurants etc. Left me a heap of bacon sandwiches for when we returned from a... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay (this included dinner on one night). Our room was cosy and very tastefully decorated (as is all of the hotel, including a very pleasant sitting room). Breakfast and dinner was very good and the service was attentive. When we stayed there was a group of six so... More

We have just spent three nights here. Our bedroom was warm and comfortable and the bath enormous but the decor [a lot of black and taupe in a sort of sub Kelly Hoppen style] would not be to everybody's taste. The food was glorious home cooking by the hostess and much of it grown by the host. These are Sylvia... More

This is a good quality small hotel and the breakfast is very good indeed. The interior decor is of a high standard (I believe the owners' daughter is a designer?), and would not look out of place in a magazine. The only physical fault [relatively minor] was with our en-suite; being small it required one of those very narrow basins... More

This was our first stop on a Mr and Mrs Easter Wales Tour. It certainly was the best place on the circuit. It won hands down for being genuine and warm. Great base for doing challenging mountain walks at Pan Y Fan and Lady of the Lake in the Black mountains (in honour of the room we were staying in)... More

A really lovely two nights. Stayed in William Williams room, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Owners were lovely - gave us a map and directions and sent us off up a mountain for a stunning walk, albeit we were in the clouds at the top! And when we got back soaked to the bones, they took our clothes and put... More

The décor is certainly not without its charm, however, I can't say the same about the owners! Things got off to a bad start for us - we were left waiting out in the cold for 5 minutes and tried knocking on several doors and windows before we finally managed to get the owner to let us in. Our room... More

Having had a very stressful few weeks, this was just what the doctor ordered. Myself and my partner enjoyed wonderful food, service and accommodation. There was a small issue on check in as to whether we booked for two or three nights but was resolved very quickly. All in all a lovely stay. More

We stayed at the New White Lion as part of our honeymoon and we were glad we did. We had a warm welcome from Sylvia and besides the very tasty afternoon tea we received complimentary bubbly and chocolates on arrival at our room (the Lady of the Lake). Our room was lovely: clean and very comfortable with lovely interior design... More

My daughter was married at the end of July and as a thank you she bought my wife and I a week end in The New White Lion in Wales. The hotel under the Mr. and Mrs Smith brand is on a main road in Llandovery in a beautiful refurbished building run by the cheereful Gerrard and Sylvia. The ambience... More
