The Dolaucothi Arms

We came to this lovely pub for a meal as we were staying in the area. The staff and the locals in the bar were really friendly and we had a lovely evening. Food was excellent too, we had the beefburgers.

Stayed here whilst visiting some friends in Wales. The pub is very oldy worldy with old furniture and quirky decor. Outside there is a beautiful large beer garden with picnic benches over looking a river below. They have their own chickens and use the fresh eggs for breakfasts. I had breakfast one morning included in room price and was not disappointed. Smoked salmon poched eggs and a whole rack of toast with jam, marmalade, butter and Marmite options. Fresh juice and coffee etc. I didn't need to eat until supper. Evening meal was good, I wouldn't say excellent. Steak and chip dinner just average but good enough for the price. Everyone was very friendly and chatty at the bar it had a very welcoming feel. The room was as expected traditional style. The bedding was so comfortable I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I did have an issue with the lock of the door being a bit fiddly and there wasn't a light in the hallway as such after a few red wines in my friends campervan outside I struggled to get in ha ! Overall a lovely place I would definitely visit again and recommend to friends. Ps. Try the Entrecote red wine it's lovely !

We stopped off for a coffee and delicious home made warm Welsh Cakes on our travels. A lovely warm welcome from the staff, the garden is beautiful with great views across the river and a great location. Will definitely be back for an overnight stay so the Beer and Food can be sampled - it looks fab and the building is so very quaint.
