The Old Dairy B&B at Ystrad Fach (little vale) is set in 15 acres of rolling countryside with private access to the river Gwendraeth Fach. A perfect rural retreat, yet only ten minutes from the A48.
Centrally located for exploring Carmarthenshire with its ancient market towns, beautiful national trust gardens, historic castles and blue flag beaches.
The Brecon Beacons, The Gower, Ffos Las racecourse and Pembrey motor racing circuit are all within easy reach.
Breakfast is plentiful and leisurely, served in the main house just a few steps from your room.
A selection is on offer to suit all appetites with fresh local produce, eggs from our own free range chickens, bacon and sausages from our neighbour's farm, along with home made preserves.
We do not offer an evening meal but the 'Red Lion' our local village pub is only one mile along the lane, where you will find a very warm Welsh welcome along with good traditional pub food.
We look forward to welcoming you soon for what we hope will be the first of many visits.
