The town itself seems to be on a down, although it was our first time there for many years and it is a good central location amid nice countryside and attractions if you don't want/need to be actually on the coast. Streets were a bit rowdy on the Saturday night we stayed, but that's not so unusual these days, sadly.

A very pleasant, historic market town.
A very pleasant, historic market town. Many cafes and bars, pedestrianised areas. Surprisingly quiet on a weekend visit. Gateway to west Wales, great for use as a base to explore Tenby and other locations further west. Short drive to beach on an estuary, which had free parking.

Carmarthen is a nice little town, big enough to be interesting but not too big to explore. The remains of the Castle are easily accesible and there's a nice park on the outskirts. If you're travelling by train, the train station is a reasonable walk from the town centre.

Laugharne is an interesting little place, and not too far from the many fine Pembrokeshire beaches all along the coast from Saundersfoot to Freshwater West.
If you stay in Carmarthen be sure to go to Llandeilo where you will find Gold Mines and National Trust’s Dinefwr Park and Castle is well worth a stop.

We saw the town on a Sunday. Vey quiet. However, there is more to the town than first glance (just), but too much retail - so much unoccupied. Given history, very little historic class on view. The hey day has gone, what now? Perfect accommodation, very close to town.

Lovely place to stay, very tidy and comfortable. Scenery very beautiful and host very friendly.
BnB ideal place for Carmathern town only 10 to 12 min drive, lots of shops, supermarkets and a cinema here.
Beaches are less than an hour from hotel. One is 20mins away. We went to relax and enjoyed our quiet evenings.
TV has apps so you can watch your fav programs, ie Netflix, BBCiplayer and others.
Very peaceful location, a perfect place to de-stress but not a difficult last little distance from the main fuel carriage way, a very convenient location for exploring south Wales and getting away from the hustle and bustle.
Also the Hot Tub was always fantastically warm and clean.
On the last evening we got a visit from a local hedgehog.
The hotel/pub is very basic , cheap furniture in the room , very small telly etc etc . It was clean and staff were good , the breakfast was very good . You pay for what you get ! £63 inc of breakfast is cheap in todays market especially in a town like Carmarthen .
Room was excellent, the hotel also allowed us to store our bicycles securely. Breakfast was included in the price and was very good. Situated in the centre of the town so ideal for sight seeing
