White Hart Llandeilo

Great location for visiting relatives

The shower in the family room 12 needed some mould & mildew spray as the tiles were a bit black around the bottom. Also the radiator was leaking and had a plastic cup to catch the water which had overflowed when we arrived in the evening, leaving wet on the bathroom floor. When I mentioned it to reception they suggested I mop it up myself with toilet roll! It needed mopping, which still hadn’t been done by the time we left the morning after. Having said that, the staff were busy in the restaurant at the time but it’s little things which make a difference between a great stay and not so great.

Lovely spot, very good food and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Nothing

We booked here for the location as it was near family. The evening meal was excellent and good value for money, as too was the breakfast. Good selection of cereal, toast, fruit and yoghurt. We later found out that full English breakfast was included. The staff were very friendly and polite.

Although the bedroom area was very clean, the bed very comfortable, I was disappointed in the bathroom. Some areas look tired and worn. outside around the shower tray were some mould and the bathroom door needed a good wipe. Also the room had a peculiar smell that I couldn't quite work out what it was. It was quite noticeable, so much so that I had to spray perfume to mask it. If we were staying for more than one night I would have asked to move rooms, as the smell wasn't pleasant.

Most good reviews of this place seem to focus on the food, which is generic, though good - well cooked and well-presented at a fairish price. The rump steak was cooked to my requirements and was tender - a challenge when serving rump steak.

The duck pate starter was not generous. The steak was meant to come with a sauce but, after it came, I realised I had been given no sauce options and so had none. Frozen peas skidding around a sauceless plate don't hit the spot for me. The staff are pleasant, though service is chaotic and lacks finesse. Don't leave dead wine glasses on the table when I am ordering wine by the glass, please. The room, however - less satisfactory. For £85 I was ok, per se, with a 'private bathroom' across the corridor but would have expected the room to be top notch. It is not, so I found the room overpriced. There is no central heating - just a tiny, noisy electric fan heater. The double room itself is tiny, there is no lampshade on the overhead light, and both the main door and the sliding (only fixed at the top) wardrobe door both rattle in the wind even with the window shut. The room smells of fish - very bizarre. Breakfast is included in the price (that sounded promising) and is billed as 'continental'. There is nothing continental, however, about crumpets and sliced white bread - the epithet 'continental' implies croissants, pains au chocolat, perhaps cheeses etc....not UK bakery goods and a few packets of cereal. Cooked breakfasts can be purchased if wanted, but the whole concept of breakfast being included in the price is ill-thought-out when it is so poor. Mediocre coffee too. The dining areas feel cramped. This place is ok but no more than that, and needs re-thinking. The menu is also littered with spelling errors, which gives an impression of lack of care and attention. Ditto the sign on the wall outside about 'Partons' (sic) cars...
