Staying at Y Castell

Georgian charm, modern comfort, and warm Welsh hospitality in the Tywi Valley

Nestled in the heart of Llangadog in the scenic Tywi Valley, Y Castell is a beautifully restored 18th-century Georgian coaching inn with a rich story to tell. Once a lively stopping point for drovers, aristocrats and travellers making their way between Carmarthenshire and the mountains, the inn has reclaimed its place as a welcoming haven on the western edge of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.

Inside, character and comfort sit side by side. The restaurant showcases a menu built around fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the fertile lands of the Tywi Valley. Expect a blend of pub favourites, seasonal dishes and creative modern plates, served in relaxed dining spaces full of rustic charm. On sunny days, alfresco dining captures views of the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, six individually designed bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. Each room balances the elegance of the Georgian building with thoughtful contemporary styling, ensuring a restful and memorable stay. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a foodie escape or time spent walking, cycling or discovering local heritage, Y Castell offers a serene and stylish base.

At the heart of the inn lies the bar — a cosy, welcoming space serving Welsh spirits, local beers and apple juice from nearby Dynevor’s orchards. It’s a place to unwind, share stories and enjoy the warm, easy hospitality that defines Y Castell.

A perfect stay for guests seeking history, comfort and excellent food in one of Wales’s most beautiful valleys.
