Had a lovely relaxing stay at Green. Castle and would definitely recommend (though it’s not suitable for folks with mobility difficulties due to the steps up to each first floor room from the landing, and longer flights necessary to access the garden and hot tub). . Very spacious, unpretentious and homely, with comfy beds and good quality, large flat-screen TVs in both living rooms. It’s very easy to access, being close to Carmarthen, but feels very rural. Surrounded by lovely countryside and some great pubs which do very good food. Love South Wales and can’t seem to stop visiting! It would’ve been nice to have a washing machine as we were staying for ten nights, but that’s the only negative. Thanks very much to our hosts! .

We had a lovely stay at Green Castle. The view of the castle ruins from the hot tub made this such a tranquil place to be. House was clean and spacious. The bathroom was well laid out and clean. Beds were comfortable. The walks around the woods are well worth doing with some amazing views to be seen. There is no path on the road down into the town so a car is essential. We are very glad we came.
