I stayed at the Diplomat Hotel for five days while visiting family in the area. The stay was…read morepleasant and comfy for the most part. The hotel has a great view of the town of Llanelli, since it is high up on a hill. They also have lots of nice outdoor seating. I enjoyed going down there in the evening to have a drink. My room was spacious and the bed was comfortable albeit small, since it was a twin bed. But I believe that is the norm in the U.K, no complaining. I found most of the staff accommodating and friendly, particularly David at the front desk. My only warning particularly for summer guests, THEY DO NOT HAVE A/C in the rooms! So I suggest asking the front desk about lending a fan for your room. We told David at the front desk about the a/c situation and he suggested we could borrow one of the fans from the hotel. That was so nice of him! Another thing I wanted to express about my stay was their breakfast... for £16 it is severely underwhelming and I would suggest having it. Go anywhere else. I had breakfast down their once... and I'm glad I didn't purchase their packaged breakfast deal on their website... very underwhelming food. I ended up just having cereal and coffee. Also they only filled my coffee one time, since the staff was so busy flipping tables for lunch. The food in general at the hotel was not good... I had their tapas the first night and it was passable. I had their dinner - a mushroom risotto and it was so so. The atmosphere in their dining room is dreadful. It sort of reminded me of my high school (or secondary school) gymnasium. The elevator music in there made it worse... They also have a spa and indoor pool downstairs. I enjoyed the steam room a lot with the eucalyptus coming through the steamers...ah! I wished I used it more. All in all, I enjoyed my stay. I probably would return if I come back to the area.

This is a delightful place to eat. A Victorian restaurant…read moreand hotel set in lovely grounds and very tastefully decorated throughout. We have not stayed here but have experienced the wonderful menu - whether it's for that special romantic meal or if you fancy spoiling yourself with their excellent cream teas. The staff/owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming and the fare is always top notch. Although the hotel and grounds are delightful I would not really agree with their Country Hotel description as it is situated in a fairly built up area. If you are planning a stay there it may be worth bearing this in mind. The pond area is looking very scruffy at the moment, I assume it is being refurbished but there were no signs of this.

It's close to the downtown area so it's a central location. The first time I came for lunch. I had a shandy and a BBQ chicken melt sandwich. Both were quite satisfactory. Christine, the manager, served us and she was quite friendly. Next time, we came for dinner with the whole family. Great service. I ordered the Chicken Tikka masala, which was quite good for pub fare. Everyone was pretty satisfied with their meals. I think Thomas Arms was great. Their patio had a nice atmosphere as well.
