New Bedrooms

Last year we added two new rooms at the hotel, one in February and the other was finished in November. The first is on the ground floor and has its own separate entrance and parking which is popular with both dog owners and those who find stairs a problem. It has a super king size bed which can also be split to make two twin beds, an ensuite bathroom with shower over the bath and large separate sitting area with a sofa bed. The second was achieved by knocking two of our original rooms in to one to make one huge room. It is on the first floor with views over the garden, also has an ensuite with shower over the bath, has a king size double bed and separate sitting area. Follow the link to see photographs of the ground floor room - http://www.wales-country-hotel.co.uk/bedrooms.html (the top and bottom pictures).

Garden of Wales Special Offers

Carmarthenshire is worthy of the title Garden of Wales with the huge amount of horticultural attractions in the area and Ty Mawr is well placed to visit all of them. As well as the well known National Botanic Garden of Wales and Aberglasney Gardens there are also Colby Woodland Gardens near Tenby, Norwood Gardens at Llanllwni, Cae Hir Garden at Temple Bar, the Hywell Dda Centre near Whitland and the award winning Farmyard Nuseries at Llandysul.

At the National Botanic Gardens we have negotiated a deal for our guests of one free adult entry with every full paying adult - a saving of £8.00. Tickets are available at the hotel reception - just mention to Annabel when you book that you are interested.

Aberglasney Gardens, voted by The Sunday Times as one of the top winter gardens in Britain, are offering hotel guests a 10% discount on sales in their gift and plant shop. Also if you would like to get a group of 10 or more people together to visit the Gardens then we can arrange you a free tour around Aberglasney with one of the guides - you just pay the standard entry fee. This offer is obviously subject to availability and must be arranged at the time of the hotel booking.

Below I have listed some of the up and coming events in the next six months at the National Trust Dinefwr Park and Newton House, Aberglasney and The National Botanic Gardens as you may wish to arrange a visit to Ty Mawr when something particular is happening in the area.
