There are some really interesting shops and businesses in the town centre. Sadly, in common with many towns, there are too many empty/closed shops and rundown buildings. That said Carmarthen's location is ideal for visiting the NBGW

Carmarthen was a nice town to walk around for a day but I wouldn’t want to stay longer than a long weekend. The castle was locked with no reason or explanation when the internet states it’s open ? Many tourists were also under the same impression as us and miss informed by Google.

For a bank holiday and festival weekend, there seemed to be very little going on. Difficult to find a restaurant meal, so had to get takeaway. From that point of view, we probably didn't see the town at its best.
Enjoyed a trip on the steam railway, and few minutes drive from the town, and know from previous visits to the area that the surrounding countryside is lovely,as is the river.

Our sole purpose was to meet up with family on the outskirts of Carmarthen. We had no interest in the town itself and simply used the hotel there as a base. Therefore we are not qualified to provide a balanced review.
Such a lovely place, very quick and easy to find, plenty of space to park, safe for kids as not near any busy roads and private, super friendly baby cows in a paddock just outside, the cottage is really comfortable, slept very well in this bed! The homemade breakfasts far exceed anything you have in a hotel, Marion is such a lovely host, I'd be very happy to stay here on my own as it feels very safe and welcoming. We will definitely be going back!
My friends and I really like the apartment, it’s clean, very spacious, and very comfortable. Away from noisy and busy city. We got everything that we needed, supermarket is just 12 mins away and there’s a pub in front of the apartment. We enjoyed our stay and great location to explore the south wales..Would love to stay in this place again, and I greatly recommend this place.
On arrival we were greeted by two very presentable, polite and very helpful young men. We had a really lovely room with good facilities including a bath. Our evening meal was first class as was the breakfast both served by really pleasant caring staff. Well done Falcon Hotel, we'll stay again.
Nice and quiet location but within short reach of beaches and also Camarthen. Good base for exploring that part of south Wales. Decor was a little bit dated but clean and comfortable and excellent value. It had everything we needed. Owner was very friendly and helpful
perfect location for one night stay on our way to get the ferry in Fishguard. hotel is small but our room was spacious, bed comfortable and the breakfast was good too. The Staff were all very friendly and helpful! It is right in the middle of the town too.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
We booked a room for 6 but ended up receiving a room for 8
Due to a leakage from heavy rain.
We only came to stay for the night to go to Skandavel early morning Pooja, so couldn't say much else about the area .
Particularly liked the self service breakfast with lovely cooked choices.Location in the town center is good.sSeems hotel has had some refurbishment which made this stay more comfortable than previously.Especially the bedroom and bathroom.
The location was ideal. Close to the nearest town, but with the feel that you were in rural Wales. The host was friendly, helpful and very welcoming. We loved our stay and look forward to coming back
Very good location in the town, room had everything I could want for a short stay. Hotel bar was good. Breakfast menu was very good, and quality was also good. Staff welcoming and friendly.
Everything staff great so helpful and friendly fantastic breakfast room very clean. Location great to walk to town so near to shops and so easy to get to restaurants hotel was so peaceful
Absolutely everything , anybody thinking of taking a break with the clean fresh air in Wales just go ahead and book as soon as you can . The host couldn't make you more welcome
Breakfast included in price. Most hotels have stopped breakfast, and kept the price the same. And had VAT reduced during lockdown. The Drovers Arms is good value.
Fantastic facilities. This lady gives you more quality than the best hotels. So much variety for breakfast and evening drinks. Great value and lovely place.
This location was beautiful the only thing I would say is make sure you drive because it is in the middle of nowhere and taxi one way to town cost £30 .
