The Best Western Lamphey Court Hotel is a 39-room historic hotel set in a Georgian house near the village of Lamphey in southwestern Wales. The decor of the hotel plays up the Georgian theme with its patterned carpeting, chandeliers, and floral wallpaper. There is only one attraction within walking distance, so guests will need a car to get to the beach or any nearby towns. Rooms look regal in navy and gold, but the double beds are just two twin beds pushed together and some past guests have complained of a musty smell. On-site features include a full-service spa with an infinity pool and two restaurants, though food receives mixed reviews. The Heywood Spa Hotel offers top-notch facilities at a comparable price.
Scene
Stunning Georgian country house with lush grounds
The Best Western Lamphey Court Hotel is a small historic property in a building that dates back to 1823. The cream-colored exterior reflects a typical Georgian country home, with symmetrical gridded windows and four huge Ionic columns extending from the stone entrance steps of the portico to the Grecian pediment on the roof. Shaped juniper trees line each wall. Inside, the Georgian theme continues with a patterned burgundy carpet, a mahogany wood front desk, and a towering antique grandfather clock. This classic design extends to the restaurants and rooms, where chandeliers, patterned carpet, and wallpaper are found throughout. This hotel is best for guests looking for a relaxing spa weekend in the Welsh countryside. Although there is a kids' treehouse on-site, young children would probably be bored with the hotel's old-fashioned decor and distant location from most attractions.

Guests will need a car to leave the hotel grounds

Rooms
Classical rooms have flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi, but some smell musty

All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and trouser presses, as well as coffee- and tea-making facilities and free shortbread cookies. Bathrooms are simple and clean, and some rooms have marble countertops that make them look a little more elegant. All have shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and toiletries, plus some also have bidets. Note that some past guests have complained of rooms smelling musty.
