“…I depart from Llandovery, which I have no hesitation in saying is about the pleasantest little town in which I have halted in the course of my wanderings.”
George Borrow, ‘Wild Wales’ 1854
 
We look forward to welcoming you to the historic Drovers Guest House, an exquisitely furnished 17th century town house situated at the heart of the market town of Llandovery. Our excellent facilities and ideal location make us the perfect base from which to take in the beauty of the rural surroundings or to enjoy some of the exceptional events in the area; including the RAC Rally and Drovers’ Festival. Here in Llandovery you will discover tremendous scenery and warm, welcoming people.

Start your day with a full British breakfast in front of an open fire in our lovely dining room before heading off to enjoy the delights of the area. Since pre-history, Llandovery has been at the heart of Welsh heritage, just 15km away at Bethlehem (excellent for Christmas stamps!) lies Garn Goch, the largest Iron Age hill fort in Wales. Nearby too, the Roman 2nd Legion established the fort of Loventium on the site of Llanfair Church as the focus of Roman roads, many of which can still be traced.

The Drovers offers two double and one twin room, all en-suite, beautifully furnished, prettily decorated and entirely in keeping with the style of the building. We take great pride and pleasure in welcoming back, time after time, guests who fall in love with our guest house and the atmospheric town of Llandovery. The surprise is the price, from £55 per room for double occupancy and from £40 for single occupancy when available. The experience however is definitely beyond that in value.

As Llandovery offers exceptional cycle and walking routes and hosts some spectacular events, we make sure we have all the information on what’s going on in and around this glorious area, so will be happy to help you plan your stay. Do please give us a call or write for further information and any individual requirements – we would be delighted to help.

“…Llandovery is a small but beautiful town situated amongst fertile meadows. It is a water girdled spot, whence its name Llandovery or Llanymddyfri which signifies church surrounded by water.”

The Drover’s Code
Os ‘dwyt borthmon delia’n onest
Tâl yn gywir am y gefaist,
Cadw d’air, na thor d’addewid,
Gwell nag aur mewn côd yw credid

If you’re a drover deal honestly,
Pay correctly for what you’ve had
Keep your word,
don’t break your promise,
Better be trustworthy than rich.
