The Cottage Inn in Carmarthenshire

Stayed here on recommendation of a client as I was doing a job in the area. A little over my budget but rooms were very nice and spotless clean nice toiletries in bathroom plenty tea coffee etc. I ate at the pub the food was lovely home cooked. I had the Chinese curry . Very reasonable prices .the staff were lovely nothing too much trouble.

We stayed here as an emergency, the staff couldn't have helped anymore, food was amazing and they were very accommodating.

Stayed here a few days ago. What a lovely place, felt welcoming, though was quiet when we arrived. The room was clean and tidy, everything in order..staff were great, nothing too much bother..food was really tasty-we had a late lunch-food was piping hot coming out...the breakfast was fantastic, staff checking if there was anything you didn't like. Ideal location for our visit..all round friendly place. Would definitely stay here again 👍👍👍👍

Friendly staff, clean nicely decorated rooms we were pleasantly surprisedyou could tell some thought had gone into them. Bar at night had some atmosphere and serves home made pub food which was tasty. The rate included breakfast and was delicious. We recommend and would stay again. Thank you to all at the Cottage Inn.

A genuine find, stayed in the Dormouse room it was great, the whole place is spotlessly clean, and the food reasonably priced. Pleasant atmosphere and the owners were really super friendly. 10/10

We stayed at The Cottage in whilst visiting family in the area, the owners are lovely and so friendly. The room was ideal for a family of 4 with both children having their own beds and still lots of room. The breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. Would definately recommend and we will be back!

Really fantastic lunch, new owners just couldn’t have been nicer, we had lovely time chatting to the new landlady especially, food was wonderful, homemade lasagne and pie and even the chips! Huge portions so what with the food and lovely people we will definitely be back and hope they do well for their future

We stayed here on Saturday night. We received a warm welcome from Johnny on our arrival and we’re allowed to book in early. The room was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. If in the area again we would definitely stay here again. Very good value for money . Thank you Johnny, for a great stay

Stopped off on our way home from carmarthen very friendly welcome, and excellent food, freshly cooked nice and hot. Will definitely call in again next time we are in the area

Went on the last day before shut down, understanably limited menu, food and service first class but a bit salty with their prices could look to review

Found this lovely place after receiving a very unfriendly welcome in a pub with the same name in Ammanford. This place couldn't have been more different! Warm friendly welcome (for us and our dog), small but excellent menu including plenty of vegetarian options, and the food was all excellent. The owner (I presume) took time to come over for a chat, and gave us some excellent ideas for places to visit. We returned for Sunday lunch and were equally impressed, the Sunday roast was delicious with plenty of veg.We would highly recommend it to others, and can't wait to return next time we are in the area.

I cannot rate this little pub enough! Such amazing food and lovely customer service. We had a veggie cottage pie and a buttermilk chicken sandwich and then an amazing sticky toffee pudding for dessert! Would highly recommend popping in if you get the chance! Amazing find!

Booked in for Sunday lunch, all the Covid restrictions in place, was very surprised at lack of diners in the restaurant We had an excellent roast beef lunch and our guest had turkey, followed by yummy Creme Brûlée will be back soon

Called in on way from Llanelli wasn't sure about whether we could get food butvwe both and Allie GD ret'd were made very welcome as always. I had 10 oz rump steak and prawns Leila had chicken goujons, she said she wanted room for8⁹ pudding. For afters Leila had rice pudding I had Banofee sundae both of which we highly recommend. My steak was cooked to perfection and other fish and vegetables were plentiful and well cooked. Leila's goujons were very nice. My steak was very good but I don't think it was quite as good as I have become accustomed to at the Cottage but to have complained would have been petty, it was still very good!Brian greeted us all like old friends and was his usual jolly self but told us he had to close for 12 weeks due to Covid. The young ladies were lovely, as always, and we look forward to our next visit

Visited this evening, and although there was a limited menu, the food was very good honest pub food at a reasonable price. The best thing was the fantastic service and friendliness of the couple running the place. They were worth 6 stars. Would definitely visit again!

Visted yesterday for lunch,a smile and warm welcome from the lady behind the bar, great covid precautions in place,and the 2 young waitresses were so pleasent while serving us. The lambs liver and steak pie were delicious, served with veg and REAL chips,this was our first visit but won't be our last, fabulous lunch

Stopped here on way back from Tenby and not the only ones from overhearing a conversation. Serve food all day. Have large eating out area as well as inside. Staff friendly and obliging. We had soup and roll. Piping hot was mixed veg with warm baguette. Delicious.

The menu was very sparce, and the food was nothing special.The two young waiters were very polite and attentive.Probably good for a pub lunch but not restaurant quality.Had to send one of the steaks back as was not cooked through enough when asked we asked for a well done steak.The Apple crumble was to dry and stodgy not a crumble.I am sorry but on this occasion I cannot recommend this Inn.

Fabulous welcome, great food beatifully cooked, lovely environment and hosts. We will definitely return.

Superb food. I had the faggots which were some of the best I've had. Beer was also cracking as were the staff and the pub gaffer who made a point of coming and having a chat with us after we had finished eating.

My family had a meal last night at this inn. The hosts were extremely welcoming but I am afraid to say the food was terrible. The surroundings required updating and the toilets, well!!My daughter-in-law and husband had duck priced at £16.45. They got what was supposed to be spiced duck iwhich was served n a tasteless sauce accompanied by rice. I hasten to add that they were offered peas as the veg!! For over £16 I thought it rather overpriced and of a very poor quality and presentation. I do not normally write reviews but I felt this place was so bad that I had to make other people aware. If you drive past this place my advice is to keep driving!!

We had a family get together of 20 people so we rang ahead to book, without hesitation we had the tables booked for our party very accommodating. They then asked us to pre-ordered our meal so we did & wow what great service, welcoming staff & the food was brilliant no one had any complaints! That's right No One... We had children to granny all enjoyed there food. Me & the wife popped in later in the week too because we was so impressed by the hospitality 5star rating from me

Really impressed with the quality of food and service. Didn’t have to wait long for meal once ordered and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend

We’d been looking forward to our first night out for many months due to Covid 19 restrictions. We received a warm welcome as always, great homemade food and a fab pint of Guinness! One way system in place and plenty of hand sanitiser which meant we felt completely safe. It was great to see so many others there enjoying the local hospitality. Thank you to the team at The Cottage - we’ll be back very soon. Diolch.

My partner and I were really looking forward to our meal here due to it being local to us and having fantastic reviews on trip advisor. Despite the staff being welcoming and friendly the meal itself was disappointing. My partner ordered a burger, the burger appeared to be a frozen burger of low quality which was served in an equally low quality bun, with a side of frozen oven chips. I ordered the beef dinner. The meat was of good quality and well cooked, the vegetables were bland barr the red cabbage which was ghee saviour of the meal. I couldn't get enough. The roast potatoes appeared to have been sitting being warmed for a while as they were tough on the outside with shrunken potato on the inside. They were completely inedible!

A warm welcome on arrival as always. Most of us opted for the Sunday lunch. The only thing that let the meal down was the roast potatoes, perhaps they were bought in frozen! Waiting for the dessert menu took so long in the end we skipped it and ordered coffee instead. One of our friends ordered a hot chocolate, clotted cream was served as a replacement to whipped cream, it just curdled!!! The landlord works the room wonderfully and makes time for the guests but just needs to get the food back on track like it used to be not that long ago.

Called in on way back from Carmarthen Charlies is a favourite. Haven't been in for a while we adopted a retired Guide Dog.and don't like leaving her in the car. Asked if we could bring her in and wr were told "of course you can" so we did.and she behaved impeccably, even being given a piece of raw carrot when we left by the lovely waitress. For once we both had the same and it was delicious with only a few chips passed to Allie the chicken curry was delicious We met the boss coming in the car park in the Cottage van I think his name is Brian we've never needed names. Even though we haven't been in for a while he recognised us got out of the van and greeted us like old friends and confirmed Allie was welcome so, be assured, we will be regulars in 2020 and beyond

We went for a Sunday lunch. There were a choice of roast meats available. We tried the Welsh black beef. Unfortunately, the beef was quite standard and dry at the edges. The roast potatoes were dry and tasteless. However, the other vegetables that came with the dish were better and generous in quantity. Adequate meal but nothing special. The pub itself was nice with a log fire and friendly staff.

Good Welsh roast beef but dry and tasteless roast potatoes. There was a very generous portion of vegetables. Service was great. We sat next to the log fire which was really nice in a cold and damp wintry day.

This place served food all day and is a perfect stop off point if heading across to the Brecon area from the west coast. They welcome dogs here which was a bonus for us. Very relaxed place with good selection of food and beer. We had two steaks, peppercorn sauce, chips and trimmings. It set us up perfectly for the day and was a pleasant, uncomplicated experience.

Visited this pub couple of years ago had lovely meal always said we'd go back. Was up that way this weekend, how dissapointed myself and husband ordered chicken curry with rice and chips. Sat outside lovely sunny day couldn't believe how quick the food came out, no way was the chips freshly cooked they were definitely warmed up and as for the curry it tasted like that cheap powder you buy in super markets and whisk with boiling water. It had hardly any chicken in it. Waste of money to say the least won't be going there again. Looking back I wish I'd complained instead of keeping quiet not to make a fuss I'm mad with myself. Waste of our hard earned money. That meal was cheap and nasty .

Visited The Cottage Inn for supper this week. Lovely, friendly welcome, all very efficient. Couldn't fault service. Meal a little hit and miss. Lovely chilli! Lovely whole rack of ribs! A little basic, but, saying that, if you're hungry and just need a good pub meal it's great! These places need to be supported, important to the community. Pretty little courtyard area, very cute rabbits in the garden. Very clean loos, always a good sign!! Thank you for a pleasant meal for some very weary customers!

Booked Sunday lunch when visiting N.T. We loved our meal and had to send some veg back as such good portions The Restaurant is large with efficient and friendly service. Couldn't manage dessert's as too full. I wish it was near where I live.

Food was good, Garden was lovely.Wondered if we'd been forgotten about while sat in the garden, thought someone would come out and take our order but ended up going back in.That and the steak one of us ordered being a fair percentage of fat means four stars rather than five but would go back again if in the area.

We stopped on the spur of the moment to have Sunday lunch.

Great food, friendly staff. Highly recommended. Were greeted pleasantly when we arrived. Good choice on menu. Staff really pleasant. Lovely tender meat, sunday lunch and gammon. Will certainly be back.

Visited here twice while in wales on holiday.. very friendly and welcoming landlord and staff.. food is excellent , good wholesome food.. landlord recognised us on our second visit and went out of his way to say hello.. I would recommend a visit here definitely.. if I lived here I would use this pub all the time

Had a great night here. The local amateur dramatics were also doing a performance which was brilliant. The curry I had was gorgeous, really tasty.

we've had a main course here from the Sunday menu. Homemade lasagna, bbq ribs (really tender), bacon chicken and fish and chips. All dishes were just perfectly cooked, baked, grilled. Worth the wait for a decent price!

This was our second stay at the cottage inn . It was once again a wonderful experience

Dropped in for food in the afternoon, lovely staff, great service and excellent food which is why we went out of our way to go there. Not disappointed, lovely Lamb dinner and my wife had a veg roast dinner.

We visited The Cottage Inn on the way back from a one night stay in Wales, to help break up a 4.5 hour journey with our 6 year old daughter.

Great value for money and lovely friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble for them, i ordered the Hereford steak and it was cooked to perfection and the Toblerone cheesecake was the best i had ever tasted. I cant wait to visit again already! The place was clean and service was on point. 10/10! A must visit!

Lovely pub food, large portions (maybe too large). Good friendly service. Couldn’t fault. Will visit again,

Staying near here for the weekend, staff were very friendly and answered any questions we had regarding the surrounding area. Great pint. Then returned on the Sunday amazing food , very friendly landlord and great atmosphere (garlic mushrooms are a must try). We will be back.

Having had an excellent Sunday Lunch on two previous occasions this Sunday Lunch was very disappointing.

We had lunch at the Inn, and were seated in a snug adjacent to the main dining area. The food is uncomplicated , but benefits from the use of largely locally sourced produce. Quantities are generous, and two courses was more than enough. Local staples such as lamb and faggots, feature, and we really enjoyed the meal. The Inn is dog-friendly, and the staff we encountered were a cheerful bunch.

Stayed near by this weekend, after reading great reviews went for a meal on Friday night, the food was so good we went back again last night! I had the rump steak on Friday & can honestly say it was one of the best steaks I've had, there wasn't a piece of fat in sight. The lasagne last night was again one of the best I've had, full of flavour and fantastic value. Only wish we were here another night to sample something else from the menu. Good home cooked food & wonderful service, we will be back in the future :-)

Visited on Sat 20th April with my hubby and son on route 2 Pembrokeshire for a week's holiday. We have passed this pub for years but this was the first visit but by no means the last. Firstly we were given a warm welcome which sadly is lacking in a lot of places these days. There was also a huge birthday party arriving at this particular time around 1pm ish but in no way did this hold up our service. I ordered one of the Specials of chicken with a creamy tarragon and white wine sauce which was absolutely sublime, hubby had a fab mixed grill and my son had steak with mash and gravy. All meals were of a high quality and we all said it was best food we have eaten in a very long time. We will be back again in Aug along with my Mum in Law and we now have a dog. Not sure if dogs are allowed inside but I don't mind sitting outside in the rain with food that good.

Good service, friendly atmosphere and good home cooked food. Value for money. Restaurant area was a little cold but otherwise a lovely meal out. Recommended

Called here today for lunch on the way to Carmarthen. Was pleasantly surprised at the standard of food served, the service was quick and the waitresses very welcoming. The pub itself was "olde world" and cosy. We will certainly eat there again.

Been many times to the Cottage for Sunday Lunch and always enjoyed it until now!

Visited for the first time for Sunday lunch.A lovely traditional pub with a roaring log fire and comfortable surroundings. We were greeted with a smile at the bar and found the staff and owner to be very friendly, helpful and accommodating.We were joined at our table by the owners mother. A very sweet lady who's company we welcomed.

Outstanding!!! Service is amazing and the food is delicious! I’m a vegetarian and there is so much options for vegetarians!

Popped in on our way back from a sunny day at Dinefwr. Noticed the car park was full but went in anyway. We discovered that they had a party of 64 from a car club for dinner and were informed that we may have a wait a while, up to an hour. Still we had our drinks and chatted and within the hour our dinners came, spot on and my wife is a vegetarian who didn't fancy the meat substitute so asked for a vegetable dinner. No problems, everything arrived at the same time and it was lovely, a real treat. The staff were pleasant, helpful, efficient and attentive. We pass the Cottage Inn frequently but as its near home never pop in. I have changed my mind now and will purposely stop for food. Nice selection of beers as well though I couldn't try any as I was driving but was informed by the chap I was with that it was good stuff. Oh and they are open all day every day. excellent.

I visited with a table of 11, plenty of food we we're all stuffed. I had the roast beef which was delicious and lots of it, came with LOTS of tasty veg. followed by sticky toffee pudding which I could tell was homeade- very tasty. The women I met upon entry to the pub (working in the bar) were so lovely and funny. Gravy was delicious.

I called in yesterday on my way home from a weekend break in mid Wales. The sign said food was served al day every day - brilliant! It would save me cooking (or eating a ready meal as I didn’t have much in the cupboard!). I chose the pate for my starter, and it was lovely. There was enough bread for the amount of pate given too. I chose the beef dinner for my main course, and there was a generous amount of meat. It was very tasty, and excellent value for money. The staff were also very friendly. Plenty of parking available too. I will definitely call in here again when I’m passing, and recommend it to others.

Found this place by accident while on our way home from holiday. The staff were very attentive, even for our dog ! The food was brilliant ! We both ate off the special board. Great basic food & good sized portions. The steak & red wine pie & the sausage casserole were above expectation. Will certainly call again.

Stopped here for a last night of holiday meal and wasn't disappointed. I had moxedbgrill which was excellent my wife had a well cooked steak. The children meals were all good. Alsobforbthe children They are happy to do a half portion of the main menu meals for the children at half the price meaning the kids had more to choose from. Friendly staff and good service

We've just passed this lovely pub while we were our way back to Llandebie from ,Camarthen. As we were both hungry we stopped and we didn't regret it. My husband chose a three-course menu from the Sunday menu (for £15,90),I had a typical pub grub.

Stopped here for an evening meal, wish we had driven by. Not sure how they cooked the lamb chops, I can only think they must have boiled them in water for 15 minutes. The result was long strips of fluffy fat covered in a brown slop which was complimented by the green water from the undrained peas. Best thing on the plate were the chips The Duck was not a lot better. No crispy duck breast here, instead you get a fatty duck breast covered in a sauce from a jar. “Probably” the worst meal I have had for many years. Certainly the most expensive rubbish we have been served up. Never again.

As we entered we were greeted by a lovely helpful gentleman whom took our drinks order and talked us through the menu. there was 10 of us and we all choose differently. All our meals were tasty (esp the Lamb) and cooked well. The service and food were all good. The younger children also enjoyed visiting the rabbits and chickens in the garden. We finished our meal with a drink in the sunshine. Would recommend to families.

Table service with very pleasant staff. You need to book as it’s very popular. There was about 10 of us with 2 vegetarians. They tended us well despite being very busy.

The updated menu features a decent choice for vegetarians. Excellent well-cheesed roast vegetable lasagne with garlic bread (ask for extra garlic if like me you like garlic!). Then big portion dessert - lemon meringue roulade was a dream with milk ice cream on the side & plum coulis. Washed down with a local natural beer - these change regularly & this one was golden and hoppy.

The cottage inn can get quite busy and though you don't have to book we always do to make sure of a table.It is a well run place,happy helpful staff,even the owner helps making sure you table wasn't left full of dishes.Been there a few times,The Cottage Inn is on the A40 between Llandeilo and Carmarthen.I cannot think of any occasion we have eaten that we didn't enjoy our meal.

The food we had was excellent and the staff very friendly the pub as busy but service was very quick, portion were large so great for a big eater.

Dropped in for a quick lunch. The pub wasn’t busy and we had to wait 25 minutes for 2 basic sandwiches , the bread being on the stale side. All I can say is that drinks are very expensive and we were overcharged on the bill. Poor service too. Sorry but we won’t be popping in this place again.

We went as a Party on Sunday evening for a meal. The only problem was to big a portion and also the chips were not cooked properly, but all the other things were fine, the Manager and the staff was very friendly. I would be going again but on my own

After waiting almost an hour i can honestly say this is the worst pub meal i have had in a very long time the curry sauce was like jelly and tasteless the chips tasted like grease and the popadom was swimming in grease. The picture is how i left it as i could not eat any more. While we waited another couple were complaining about how long it was taking and they had ordered salad. If you appreciate good food in a timely manner go elswhere. I have only given it 1 star as it won't let me give zero.

Recently visited this pub with family after it looked like a lovely country pub from outside. Once we went in and were shown our seats (which were very cramped between other tables and the noisy, busy bar) a waitress proceeded to drag out a very large chalk board and propped it on a chair right in the way of others, next to our table and told us this was the menu (very strange and not a lot of choice!) then about 30 seconds later asked if we had chosen what we wanted to order from the menu to which we replied no, as we had only just glanced our eyes on the board! This was repeated a couple of times and we felt very rushed and uncomfortable. Once the food had come it didn't look or taste the best standard for the price we were paying and a lasagne was pretty burnt on the top. Also some soft fizzy drinks arrived flat! It took us 2 long attempts just to get some sauces as the first waiter had forgotten about us. Once some of us had finished eating, the staff were soon at our table to take away our plates away despite some of us still eating! We felt this was very rude and again felt rushed to eat, pay and leave! One lady behind the bar seemed very rude to us as we were paying and lacked a great deal of customer service with her comments and attitude! Wish i had read the other 1 star reviews now and taken our money elsewhere to the highly recommended pubs close by. Won't be visiting this place again and don't recommend anyone going with a group of family! Disappointing.

My Mother and I called in for lunch while out for a drive. There were plenty of tables to chose from even though it was quite busy. We ordered by the bar and our food was only 10 mins wait. Beautiful fresh battered fish and home made chips. It was delicious.

Have driven past this pub on numerous occasions and always see the car park full. Now I know why. Very friendly homely pub with the staff and owner making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The home cooked food was very good with the owner stressing the importance of local produce. Good value and will be calling there again soon.

Lovely place to stop. Friendly people and good service. Food is excellent. Dog friendly too which is a bonus.

Having visited several times before, and always had good food at reasonable prices, tonight I was very disappointed. The prices seemed to have risen whilst the amount of choice and the quality seems to have diminished.

Our third visit to this pub for a meal and likely to be our last now for food. I had a club sandwich made with mother’s pride style bread with bland chicken and bacon and salad - it was so ordinary, for nearly £9 and left an unpleasant after taste such that when I got home I needed a coffee to get rid of it. My wife and daughter had burger and chips and that too was plain and equally unremarkable. I don’t understand the seemingly good reviews from others. I had to double check I had the right place for this review. The quantities were large but I would rather have had less food and better quality.

Popped into our local, the cottage inn, for another excellent and delicious meal. Brian Jones was delighted to tell us they had been voted the best pub in Wales and came third in Uk at recent House of Lords presentation. Really not surprised as always a wRm welcome, delicious food and superb staff. Can’t believe this pub is only 1 mile from us. Well done Brian and team, we are proud for you all. Julie and herbie James, pant y glibness, chapel Isaac

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much for Brian Jones and his magnificent team at The Cottage Inn, the pink pub on the A40 at Llandeilo. The room with ensuite was very comfortable. The menu uses local produce and cooked to perfection by the team in the kitchen. The breakfast, included in the room rate, was generous and with proper bacon. Watching Brian and his team over two full days shows why they won the best pub in Wales for 2018. Brian’s motto is “Treat people the way you would like to be treated yourself”. Best of luck for the UK titles!

Stopped by on my way past. Lovely weather, so chose to eat outside. Food was out quickly and it was amazing!! Very large portion size - not that I’m complaining!! The steak was cooked perfectly and the chips were some of the best I’ve had. Too full for a pudding, but they did look lovely. This place has a lovely atmosphere both inside and out. Highly recommend.

Went for food here this dinner time, looked pretty full when we walked in but luckily there was a table for two just become free.

We've just had another lovely lunch at the Cottage Inn. This was our second visit and the food was just as good as on our first visit. Staff were welcoming and friendly and it was a nice touch that they were able to speak Welsh. We had chicken and mushroom pie for the main course and a delicious, flavourful apple crumble for pudding. Large portions of comfort food! Service was excellent. There is a large, ample car park. We look forward to our next visit.

Spent a week in a cottage local to this pub, the warm welcome and excellent food are highly recommended. I can recommend the mixed grill as well as Sunday lunch. Mark

Superb Sunday lunch yet again ! Lovely, friendly staff, excellent service, and good ambience. Reasonable prices also. One of our favourite places to visit in the area

We were welcomed by the landlord who sat us at a table and brought our drinks over.

been her a few times now and can not fault it, the food is excellent, the pub is always warm and friendly, the room we stayed in was standard but very cosy, Brian the landlord just cant do enough for you, he is so accommodating and even dropped us off and picked us up from another pub we were meeting friends at, good sports screen in the pub, always had a very pleasant stay here, top man Brian.

We chanced upon the Cottage Inn and although quite late, we were offered a full menu by the very helpful staff. We both opted for the 2 course Sunday lunch dinners and were not disappointed. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive in the main lounge area where the atmosphere was homely and relaxed with a lovely log fire to keep us all warm. The food was plentiful, very tasty with a good side selection of veg on offer. Our choice of fruit crumble dessert proved to be an excellent choice too.

Pleasant atmosphere at lunch. Good staff. Varied menu and we had lamb dinner off the specials board.

this Pub Restaurant is a regular monthly venue for a Classic Car Brunch organised by our friend Terry Davison the brunch is excellent value with free coffee/tea top ups. This time round we had the usual brunch the went on a car run to the Dolaucothi Goldmine, unfortunately, it was closed when we got there. We subsequently returned to the Cottage Inn for a Christmas Lunch with mulled wine & 3 courses. Our hosts we very friendly & accommodating, the food was plentiful serving 25 plus people at once certainly challenged them & they coped pretty well, food was excellent. An interesting & enjoyable event for our Group.

We enjoyed excellent service at this Inn, from booking through to the meal on the day itself. Seating options from the bar through to an Annex to the Restaurant were offered. There was a good choice on the standard menu, well supported by the

A very nice friendly pub full of character with very tasty home cooked food, with real chips, fantastic staff. 100% Good value Christmas Dinner been there twice and there again this year.

Lovely lasagne - ask for more garlic bread as you order, you will want a second piece. Clearly local beef (superb flavour) & everything about it was delicious as well as very satisfying. Another meal included crisp prawns in crumb, & a chicken liver pate with toast and great onion marmalade. Breakfast is pretty well anything you want - scrambled eggs, sausage, mushroom, tomato - all very good. Eat in the bar area for great atmosphere, but there are nice quieter corners too.

We arrived around 3:45pm it was very quite in the Inn. Our son who has MS walked to the enterence as I missed there was a ramp available for wheelchair users. We were made very welcome by all the staff we spoke to and they were very accommodating to our son's needs. We had different starters which we all agreed were very nice ( I had the Whitebait recommended).

What a brill stay.exelent staff and very friendly. Landlord was brill.and even provided us with transport to a wedding and brought us home.locals were great too.food was exceptional and reasonable and no time limit when you wanted to order.you could have had a Sunday lunch at 9 at night.this is a must stay and would recommend to all.im coming back next month just for 1 night as we loved it.for £40 a night and a lovely room and brill brekky.never stayed in a accommodation as welcoming as the cottage

Friendly welcome from a lovely barmaid, decor a bit dated but a very nice meal, service very good and would definetley return if I lived nearer.

We noticed the Cottage Inn while we were driving past and turned around to see what it was like.

They fitted us in at short notice despite beeing busy. Very friendly and efficient staff. Good well cooked food, lovely desserts and a very reasonable price. Overall very good.

We went here last Saturday after a sad family occasion. There were 18 of us altogether and the table was booked for 1.30pm. The staff were very good and knew of the occasion so were very understanding and not at all pushy or wanting to rush us. The menu was just right, a good mix of old favourites and half a dozen specials, including faggots, mash and mushy peas!! which I haven't seen on a menu before. The waitress came and took our orders for starters and mains. For the time of day the pub was quite busy, some regulars and some on holiday. Both my husband and I had the garlic mushrooms, when it came the sauce looked very thick and there was no sign of the toasted bread that came with it. However, the taste was wonderful and the toasted bread was under the garlic mushrooms so all was well. My husband had the gammon and I had the battered loin of cod with chips and mushy peas. Others had the faggots, curry and salmon. The loin of cod meal was beautiful, the cod tasted very fresh and the mushy peas were excellent. My husbands gammon was cooked to a tee and there were clean plates all round. The only criticism if I could find one was that the mains came out quite staggered and as we were sat in the middle of the seating arrangement some to the left of us were well through their meals before those to the right received theirs. My husband had the mars mousse for dessert which, whilst tasted very nice, was extremely calorific. Coffees and teas were also served. The staff were attentive and asked if everything was alright but were not overbearing and left us to it for the majority of the meal. For a large table, they were on the ball, worked quickly and efficiently and then left. £300.00 for starters, mains, desserts and coffees which we thought was a very fair deal. It was also very nice to have such a lovely unrushed place to meet up with family again. Many thanks to all concerned

Granted this was a Saturday night; but I specifically asked whether they could fit in a party of eight for that evening at 8pm. The Cottage accepted our booking. Whilst the food was excellent, I think it is not acceptable to have to wait an hour between Starters, and Main Course: and for several of us to have to re-select because the restaurant had exhausted its supply of duck. The waiting staff were very good; but were, obviously, stressed-out by the sheer number of covers. We decided not to stay for desserts.

Had a great meal and a few beers and then settled down in motor home in the car park heard very little traffic noise and the pub opened at 7ish for breakfast and toilets ,a good place to stop over on the A40

This was our first trip to The Cottage in a couple of years. Although it retains the same ownership, the standard of the food has deteriorated sharply. Put simply, mine was disgusting.My wife's steak was passable, but overly seasoned. On a positive note, the beer is kept very well, and the pub is clean.However, my main course was shocking. I ordered faggots, mash, and mushy peas. The faggots reminded me of the medieval cannonballs I learnt about in history, the mash was an orange colour, and horrible, whilst the gravy which accompanied the meal was lumpy and tasteless. The only reason I did not demand a refund was the fact we were with a party, and I did not wish to embarrass friends.However, we will not be going here again. Very disappointing.

We stayed Friday and Saturday night to attend a family wedding on the Saturday in nearby Llandeilo. We booked on a bed and breakfast basis but on the Friday night eight of the family had a meal there. The food was very good.On arrival the owner told us to let him know of anything we required and he would endeavor to meet our needs and my goodness was he true to his word.We all had an excellent hearty breakfast on the Saturday morning served by very pleasant and helpful staff. We had transport to the wedding and on to the reception. Following the wedding breakfast at a pub about a mile or so from the Cottage Inn we wanted a short break before the evening celebrations. One of the family phoned the Cottage Inn and he came and picked us up and took us back the inn to freshen up. He would not accept any payment for this.The Sunday breakfast was once again excellent.I can truly say that the owner was the most hospitable and friendly landlord that I have ever met as were his staff. The inn was busy daytime and evening and the owner is a workaholic.I would recommend this inn to anyone but make sure you book accomodation and meals in advance as it is so busy.
