It was ok, but very dated. Pool was uninspiring and the hot tub was freezing. The shower in the room was intermittent. The food was nice however and the lady in the restaurant was great.

An average experience
A very average experince. Staff in dining area were very lovely. Grey walls in rooms makes it feel more like an office with a bed in it. The rooms lacked warmth. There are also no phones in the rooms to call downstairs. Its in a remote location which is lovley but this also makes it near impossible to get a taxi anywhere. There was a washing line outside my window which was an eye sore. Ffod and wine avergae. Spa facilities nice although hot tub very luke warm.

Excellent All Round
What a great find, the hotel and staff were excellent.Everyone made you feel so welcome and valued , our room ( no 4) was great, nice big comfy bed with a great choice of teas and coffee and bottled water. The added bonus of the spa facilities was also great and the pool , jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were more than welcoming after a long drive and days work. The restaurant and bar are also good , the food was delicious!. We were initially booked for one night and enquired about extending for another night, initially our room was booked for the next day but after half an hour we got a call to say they could accommodate us, what great service. We will definitely return on our next trip to Wales , Thank you to all the team

We booked here last minute and was not disappointed, we were looking for a venue with a pool&spa, really good standard clean, staff helpful and friendly. And tbh we stayed the following night at the cliffs hotel in cardigan and we found the facilities far superior at your beautiful guest house in st clears. Had a really interesting chat with the owner and looked at the renovation photography for such a beautiful old building. 5 stars 🌟 guys amazing 👏 job

Nice , quiet location, well maintained and clean. Had good dinner and nice vegetarian options. Staff are very friendly. For people sensitive to smell, it might take some time to getting used to due to the nearby farm. We couldn't open the window due to this and had to keep the fan running all the time as it got stuffy (also due to ongoing heatwave in UK), we requested change of room, unfortunately the hotel was very busy and they couldn’t find any other room not overlooking the farm. Otherwise lovely place to stay.

Lovely place but strong smell of manure nearby
The hotel is based in the rural surroundings and farms. The hotel itself was lovely, clean and comfortable. There was a strong smell of manure which would creep in if windows or doors were left open, so if you have a sensitive nose and want to enjoy your stay make sure you keep your room windows shut.

Thank you for taking time to provide your thoughts; we do appreciate all customer feedback. During your stay we were experiencing higher temperatures than usual, with an amber weather warning in place. We had fans available for guests to request. We had also ordered a number of additional fans in an attempt to make guests more comfortable but these were delayed as many other establishments were trying to do the same. We don't have air conditioning or provide fridges in the rooms. I'm sorry you feel that the service and restaurant quality was not acceptable, if you had spoken to a member of our team during your stay we would have attempted to resolve your concerns. We always aim to provide excellent service and quality. We want all our guests to enjoy their time with us; I'm sorry you feel we didn't provide you with this standard.

Diary farm
The location is a dairy farm so I supposed we should have expected some smells and flies,

We are very proud of our location. We make no secret of being on a working farm and it is listed in all our marketing materials. Unfortunately the flies like our location too. I hope you were able to enjoy all other aspects of your stay.

Not the 4 star stay we expected !
Lovely Spot located in a farm on the outskirts of St Clears and I was happy to accept the country smells no issue whatsoever! The flies however were another thing! We had to go out and buy Raid because they were literally swarming in our room! Had it been cold we would have left the window closed but with no air conditioning and warm weather! Well you can imagine! We had afternoon tea which was really good and plentiful but the Gluten free option was poor and this became a theme for the weekend. The hotel were made aware by all of us separately that one of our party was GF. This is a health issue not a life choice but they couldn’t provide anything GF for breakfast for 2 out of 3 days! It was only when we complained that they actually made an effort! The bar was closed at 9.30pm, what happened to the bar closing when residents had enough!! Non residents were given priority for the spa so we couldn’t all go swimming together or in fact in 2 groups of 4 for the whole weekend! This hotel has potential to be lovely as the rooms(fly free) are lovely but they seriously need to look at what their paying guests want! The young girls waiting on were lovely but I think it’s the management who need to think about how they come across!

Thank you for your comments; all customer opinion is important to us. We’re happy to learn that you liked our location, with us being on a working farm unfortunately the flies like the location too. We use products in an attempt to deter the flies but these aren’t always as effective as we’d like. If you’d requested fly spray for your room we would have provided this for you rather than you needing to purchase one yourselves. We acknowledge there was an issue with GF catering for which we apologise. I understand that following your concern being raised you were happier with the GF options provided. Our bar closes at 10pm, we are a small dedicated team who want to offer guests excellent service and to do that we want our staff to be well rested between their shifts; guests are very welcome to enjoy their drinks back in the comfort of their rooms, if they wish. In accordance with current restrictions, we are limiting the number of people using the pool area at any one time. The hour slots are available on a first come first served basis and we advise all guests to book in advance. We do aim to provide all our guests with a positive customer experience, I’m very sorry you didn’t have the experience you expected.

The lovely Llety Cynin
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they notified me straight away when I left my washbag and even offered to post it back to me for a small fee (fortunately i was still in the area) The room was clean and tidy and very comfortable. When hotels leave water in the room this is always a big bonus for me and the litre bottle of local spring water was well received, as was the box of Welsh short bread (Yes an actual box, I couldn’t believe it) they even left an individual bottle of hand sanitiser. The restaurant food was also stunning, I had the pork cheeks which I highly recommend. If I'm in the area again I will definitely re-book

Room was very nice and staff pleasant. Not sure I would rate it as a family friendly stay. Food was very nice and not bad value. On the down side the room had no clean or replacement of cups during our few days and I needed to request cups to be able to have a hot drink which I thinks is a bit sad for the money. But overall ok.

Thank you for giving feedback on your stay with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food in our restaurant and our staff were pleasant. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, our housekeepers cannot enter rooms but can top up/replace items with the supplied door hang request form that guests can leave out each day. We're sorry your were disappointed with this aspect.

A lovely long weekend spent in Llety Cynin. A truly warm Welsh welcome. Every aspect was pleasing, and the staff went out of their way to help. Room was superbly clean, comfortable and uniqely decorated. A lovely, if wet walk along the valley, clearly signposted. The breakfast was superb - tasty local produce! And the pool and facilities were a wlcome bonus. We look forward to returning
