Friendly local pub, but need to spray tables to stop them being sticky 😂. I always thought it looked like a OAP cafe/Restaurant until someone told me it was a pub. I think the outside show make it clearer lol

Strangely, having booked a table, when we arrived the waitress proceeded to ask people sat at a table to move so that we could sit there. We sat down at the newly vacated sticky table. We felt a bit awkward, feeling them watching us after that. Generally, the meal was ok apart from my pie being ice cold in the middle. I sent it back and received a fresh hot meal, however, by the time it arrived the rest of my family had finished theirs. It is a town centre pub and we should have expected a degree of noise but this was something else. Everyone shouting to be heard over the people next to them who were in turn shouting. I don’t think we will be going again.

Brilliant service from Bella. Unfortunately that’s the only light in a rather drab offering of very average food - the age old problem of the discrepancy between the delights offered on the menu and the crushing reality that the Chef can’t cook a decent steak. Not a meal I will care to remember.

The person who served us for the first two courses was excellent. Was very professional and caring. We ordered four starters consisting of three dishes, two of which were prawn cocktail, the prawns were chewy not soft and tender. I assume they were overcooked. I ordered medium to well steak for my main course, you could have soled a shoes with it. Our earlier course server came over and apologised but was finishing for the evening but another server would be taking over. OK, we ordered or desserts which included Belgium waffles. When they arrived they were so hard to be almost inedible. And finally, the Facebook infamous toilets didn’t fail to disappoint. Only one cubicle in the Ladies had a lock, the one with the lock, inevitably, was not very clean. In the gents, the single cubicle a) didn’t have a lock and b) had no toilet paper. Other than we had a good night, until the children arrived around 8..30pm then the noise was such that we couldn’t hold a conversation.

The food in the cottage is decent and also very decently priced. It looks and feels like an average pub because with due respect that isn't anything particually remarkable about it appart from its bar. The best thing about the cottage is its night life. Since it is a restuarant by day the cottage would make for a good place to have sit down and have a few pints with your mate on a Saturday night right? Unfortunately no because the night in the cottage is plagued by music which is simply too loud resulting in everyone trying to talk over the music and by extension themselves. The venue you becomes pretty depressing pretty quickly if you don't already come there drunk. There is no real reason for the high volume either as the cottage does not have a dance floor of any kind. You are often bumping elbows with everyone so there is no room to dance even in the spaces between the tables.

The cottage is our go to family place to celebrate any occasion we love the place . Service and food is always fantastic and we have never ever had a bad meal or service from staff,waiter/ waitresses to Helen the owner . They can never do enough for us .we vary my mum to my babygrandaughter aged 17months . The cottage is very resonable priced and all meals no matter how big the group are always brought out together the chips are freshly made and not frozen as is in lots of places . They also do carverys on Sundays and we always have a table booked tat celebrate as a family Xmas dinner on Xmas Eve every year for the last 6 years .

It’s been several years since we’ve been to this little business. There’s still plenty of car parks in town one directly behind the premises but a public car park with disabled bays. The place does still have lightning issues in doorways and slops. Which is unfortunate because the professional well trained staff were outstanding and very accommodating. I have sight and mobility issues. The all day breakfast and proper home made lasagne was outstanding and service was super fast which is just what we needed but all fresh. Will not hesitate to go again . Good value for money ideal for ladies who lunch. Loads of easy chairs chatting areas for coffee chats. No rush to get you from the table. Maybe not ideal for small children due to lighting could have crash with waitsers. Still excellent to how it once was. New staff have made a big difference. Enjoy

Ate here a few weeks ago, always had a pleasant experience from other visits but this time round it was awful the food was cold we waited for 55 minutes for a bacon and Brie sandwich and a chicken club sandwich, must be just on a year since I last visited, looks like it could be under new ownership as before the place always looked well kept. Not now. Worn and tatty, the male toilets were horrendous. Although the staff were nice.

We stumbled accross this place today and we were so glad we did. Me and my friend and her 2 little ones were heading to a particular restaurant for a Sunday lunch only to find it was shut. As we were a fair distance from our home village we decided we would search down the Ammanford way... So I found the nearest restaurant serving a roast and the cottage was our closest option. We called and booked and headed straight there. We were seated straight away by the most friendliest staff who couldn't do enough... The place was so busy as well. The food was beautiful... Meat was outstanding, the gravy was so tasty and the cauliflower cheese was cooked perfect (not to soft). We will be going back

The Cottage was recommended but was only okay. The restaurant is a bit dark on the inside. Sunday carvery is a decent quality although there seems to be a portion control on the roast potatoes and stuffing, which strangely is cut into small squares. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t rush back as there is so much choice with better quality available locally.

I visited the establishment with my partner for some lunch. The first thing I noticed was was how dark and dated the place was. The smell of food is always nice it a pub but it’s not nice to be breathing in the smoke from the kitchen that actually filled the entire pub. Every window on the place was heavily condensated, which reduced the lighting even more and you were unable to see outside which made the pub feel very dark and enclosed.

Third time here for food, the last time was little disappointed so thought give it a chance and still no better, u can forgive anything (decor wise) if the food is good and the service, the value is good and the place is clean. The service was good but the chips were hard not very fresh and a few other minor issues, also didn’t have some of the main items on the menu available. wish they would keep up the standards from our first visit & it would be somewhere we would use often.

Fui a este restaurante esperaba un Run of the Mill, inexpresivo comida. Me alegra decir que estaba equivocado. La comida está bastante bien de precio, a mi las patatas fritas eran adorables y mi hamburguesa era de gran tamaño, aunque era el más pequeño en el menú. Mi pareja, que está en una dieta estricta, fuimos para el pollo sencillas y patatas al horno, que suena aburrido y soso, pero en realidad, él también estaba encantado con su comida. El personal era educado y el juego tenía un encanto especial. Sé que debería estar en la vecindad de nuevo, volveré.

Two of us visited here today for a meal and all I can say was it was superb. I had the surf and turf, and my companion had the mini mixed grill, which was quite a size in itself. The place was nice and busy and had a lovely friendly atmosphere. The food did take a while to arrive but was absolutely superb, and very large. We then had two of the homemade raspberry cheesecakes, and they were the best cheesecakes I've ever tasted. Well worth a visit and prices were very reasonable as well. Nice to have such a quality place to eat in Ammanford.

The staff and management were very tentative to our requirements, and nothing was too much trouble, from requesting extra hot water for tea to the ramp for my mother to vacate the premises. Keep up your excellent customer care. And the food from the buffet for the wake was exceptional, with good bar prices in comparison to my local bars.

We turned up on a Saturday and asked for a table for 14 people. The staff were very accommodating and put together some tables with a minimum of fuss. The food orders were taken efficiently and the food did not take too long to arrive. The meals were excellent and of a good size and quality. The cost of the meals were also very well priced The inn is also a pub but this should not put off the diner as the areas are separate so as not to worry each other. We actually stayed overnight on the Friday and the rooms were clean and functional. The landlady did warn us that there be some noise from the bar downstairs especially the music but this was not a problem and was quieter than I thought it would be. There was no rush to vacate the room in the morning unlike other establishments I have stayed in. Overall this was a pleasant visit and I would recommend it to anyone staying in Ammanford. We have already booked here for our next visit to the town.

Firstly, very rude staff. My mother complained about her steak for being overcooked when when she asked for rare. The bar manager argued with my mother and then the chef no matter how he describes it came out and said it was a rare steak calling her a liar. They cooked her another which was not much better. The staff then Could be heard in the kitchen laughing about us and then when we commented that we could hear the bar manager stated "they were discussing it." And now I am not the first comment to be deleted. They delete every comment that is negative. Disgusting, misleading behaviour. The steak was not a rare steak, the staff are rude and disrespectful and they delete negative comments soMisleading.

This is my second review of this establishment as my previous review has surprisingly disappeared (deleted).To cut the story short apart from the must chewy, undrinkable pints of larger to the dismissal lighting most likely to hide the lack of quality of the pigs swill of what they called food, green gammon might be fine for the four legged waste disposals! But not for human consumption and just as worrying when the staff just shrugged it off saying that it's fine, if it was not for the light from my mobile phone lighting up my plate I would have almost eaten it!A few years ago this was a fantastic restaurant and used to enjoy visiting but after my last experience I very much doubt I shall return.

Food was amazing, customer service was ok. The music (for the middle of the day) was horrendous! Felt like we were in Ibiza! Would only go back because the food is very nice and was hot and fresh! Although better vegetarian options would be nice! Mushroom curry AND mushroom stroganoff- somebody pass me the bucket

The photo below is of a piece of steak from the cottage. This is the second steak once my mother who is a chef sent the first one back for being over cooked. Once this was sent back and a new asked for we could hear the staff complaining and saying things like "oh for goodness sake" and "there's nothing wrong with the steak." The chef then came out and argued with my mother about the steak. The second one which is pictured was brought out and it still wasn't right. However, as I had a meeting she had to accept it. The chef and bar managers attitude ruined the experience and the steak was still too cooked too much. ForFuture reference if you want a rare steak go elsewhere and if you have a complaint don't bother. The staff will be rude and argue with you.

Ordered one of the burgers for my partner and the Huntsman Chicken for myself. Absolutely gorgeous! Homemade chips cooked to perfection and portion sizes are very good. Would recommend this to others and will definitely come here again

Firstly I think, Friday and Saturday night are probably not the right nights to visit for a meal & drinks with friends. The music was just a tad to loud, and the big laddish group just a little to noisy. However, that didn't stop is staying and having a great night out. The menu is really extensive, one may even say too much choice. My food was piping hot, and delicious. This is pub grub, done well and I'd definitely go back for more.

I used to frequent this restaurant often a few years ago And did not think much about returning here for a meal I was very surprised how the standards have fallen it is dark and dingy not sure if it is done for a reason to hide the quality of the food as it has fallen over the years. as for the drinks they were almost undrinkable

Great Family Sunday Lunch, good food and plenty of it at the buffet. Service was quick and staff are very friendly. This establishment has a great "old" pub atmosphere whether you are at the bar or having a sit down meal.The only negative was the way the wine was served, the wine was just poured into the glass without the opportunity to taste, or maybe that we have been away for so many years and travelled that we have become accustom to tasting wine before drinking it. Having said that it was a good red wine. so no worries.Would recommend this establishment to anyone passing through Ammanford. It is a favorite with many of the locals and that is a recommendation on its own.

We have been before but not to eat, we got our drinks and stayed at the bar and asked for a menu I was given the Carvery menu and another staff member gave us the weekday menu. My boyfriend only wanted some light but we stayed at the bar. He picked a toasted sandwich and I waited still at the bar with my purse in hard. And waited, and I waited after 10 minutes and 4 staff came pored drinks and left. 1 did see we where waiting and made a comment to another staff member but nothing no one came to take my order. So having never had food there before and being ignored I WILL NEVER GO THERE FOR FOOD AGAIN! rude that's all I say

Myself and a friend ate here and we're very pleasantly surprised by the food. I had surf and turf and it was excellent. We enjoyed a bottle of red wine and my friend enjoyed his chicken dish. Services Ws a little slow but we didn't mind as we're were meeting to cat h up. Generally quite a nice little pub.

Visited for lunch with my mum yesterday, drinks order was taken very quickly. Very varied menu with great vegetarian choices. Mum had mushroom curry which was very tasty (could have done with a few other veggies in it but thats down to personal taste). I had battered cod and it was delish. Very fresh with perfect batter. Lovely fresh chips and the portions were most generous. Garlic baguette was the best ive ever had! The only small niggle was a few foul mouthed drinkers at the bar (its a family restaurant) but still worth 5 stars. Will definately be returning!

I needed to find a good restaurant to have a good meal with four very special Professional International friends and for my wife and I, but one that would also cater for my needs as a disabled wheelchair user and my dietary of wheat, gluten and diary free meals.I am please to say Daniel the manager, Claire and all the staff at The Cottage Inn was fantastic and on the day even the local customers gave up a low level access table so we could all seat together as a six adults to enjoy our meal and company. The food was outstanding and every bite was perfectly cooked. Daniel went out of his way to help even communicating personally over the Social Networking site Facebook and Claire and other members of staff went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our time with them.It was fantastic service and at a price my four professional American guests have never seen done at so reasonable costs for their excellent meals. Everyone was over the moon with their meals and the fantastic service, we could not fault anything even the entertainment outside in the main road and with lovely weather to enjoy too. Now my wife and I know I can get into this restaurant with my wheelchair my wife and I will try and use it more often to bring our national and international guests too.Our sincere thanks to Daniel, Claire and all the staff at The Cottage Inn for making us all so welcome and for providing us such an excellent service and meals.

Called in for lunch on Saturday. The service was quick and friendly and the food was good. 3 of us had a toasted sandwich which was served with chips and a small salad, and the 4th had the pate. All were very good.

Dark and rainy though the weather was, fattish rain blobs splatted against cozy windows. The pub was welcoming though the bar was full my bola aur was growling like a Norton Motorbike....I ordered ham hock and dark fruit and left like the Vince of Darkness. Happy the pig had aroasted and feed this foul and dreich man bride.

Wen for an evening meal in the Cottage on Tuesday 16th June. It was quite quiet, but it still had a lovely atmosphere, due to its cosy furnishings and the friendliness of its staff. We felt at home immediately, as the waiter/barman greeted us as we walked in the door. We took a seat and he approached us instantly with menus and enquired if we wanted drinks. Good customer service goes a long way with us, and we appreciate it. There was a fair selection on the menu, and I chose the beef stroganoff with rice and chips, this was delicious. My partner had the scampi and chips and was really impressed with the quality of the wholetail scampi. The portions were really generous, and both were served with a salad. We intended to have a pudding, but we had no room left, neither of us could not possibly leave the main course as it was so good. We had a nice bottle of wine that was reasonably priced, so we would not hesitate to return in the very near future. Its nice to have this kind of eatery in Ammanford Town Centre. So its a 10 from us.

Have been for the Sunday carvery and for evening meals. Food is very good and plentiful but can be a bit slow in arriving. Excellent value for money for both food and wine. Will be going again.

Hi, my children wanted to take me here for my Birthday, as we hadn't been for a while, and lots of their friend's families go here. A little dark and dated inside, but clean.Was quite busy, and a table of 10 had just arrived before our party of 5. This set the tone for the evening, all of the staff were a little flustered and 'under pressure'. They were still very friendly, but you were constantly under the impression that they were just pushed a little too far by the amount of guests they had eating at that particular time. They did advise us that there would be a delay. Menu's took a while to arrive, and we had to ask two different staff. It seemed that they didn't have enough menu's for a full restaurant.Lots of choice. My 9 year old Daughter was very hungry (and therefore grumpy) and we had to buy her a packet of crisps to keep her going whilst we waited for our food. We had ordered garlic bread, which we assumed would come as a starter, but came with the main meal when it eventually arrived. On one hand it was our fault for not clarifying whether it was a starter or 'with the meal', on the other hand, a dynamic restaurant might have adjusted for the situation they found themselves in, and kept the guests happy. Food was ok, my Welsh burger was really tasty. Would eat there again, but not if it was busy, or if I was in a rush.
