Ty Mawr
Brechfa, Carmarthenshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
The River Marlais runs by the garden of this 16th-century country house in a village on the edge of Brechfa Forest. Paul Bennett (he is chef) and Melissa Hurley (front of house) took over here recently. Bring your mountain bike and your dog and reserve an ‘ideal’ large and ‘beautifully warm’ ground-floor room with outdoor access. A Guide inspector found pine furniture and a super-king-size bed. ‘The hotel is justly popular.’ A glance at the guest register confirmed it is much in demand.’ New arrivals are welcomed with tea and cake, in a residents’ lounge with wood-burner. At night, in a dining room with a large stone fireplace. Breakfast sets you up for a forest foray – free-range eggs, local sausages, dry-cured ham or smoked salmon.
