Staying
Six things to know about a night at the Old Post Office: the rooms, the breakfast, the drying room and bike store, the dog room, the town and the hills, and taking the whole house.
No. 1
Four rooms in a Georgian post office on Broad Street: the Sorting Office on the ground floor with its own courtyard door, the Telegraph Room over the old counter, Penny Black in the eaves, and the Postmaster's Room with a roll-top bath. Breakfast in every rate.
From £80 a night for Penny Black on a low-season weekday, breakfast for two included.
No. 2
Breakfast is the reason half our guests come back: bacon and sausage from the butcher on Stone Street, eggs from Myddfai, bread baked here at six, cockles and laverbread from Penclawdd, cooked to order and served in the old counter room.
Breakfast is included in every room rate.
No. 3
Llandovery sits between the Black Mountain, the Cambrian Mountains and Llyn Brianne. We have a heated drying room for boots and kit, a locked bike store with a stand, pump and hose, early breakfasts, packed lunches and Dafydd's routes.
The drying room, the bike store and the route folder are free to guests.
No. 4
One of our four rooms takes a dog: the Sorting Office on the ground floor, with its own glazed door to the courtyard so a dog can go out first thing without the stairs. A bed, bowls and towels, and walks from the door along the Towy.
£10 a dog a night, one dog (two small dogs by arrangement), in the Sorting Office only.
No. 5
Llandovery is a small market town with a clock tower, a castle mound, a Friday market and the Heart of Wales railway, on the western edge of Bannau Brycheiniog: the Black Mountain and Llyn y Fan Fach twenty minutes away, Llyn Brianne to the north.
Everything in this page is free to look at.
No. 6
Take the whole house for a family gathering, a walking group, a cycling club or a small celebration: all four rooms for up to nine, breakfast for everyone, the breakfast room as your sitting room in the evening, and the drying room and bike store to yourselves.
£520 a night for all four rooms, breakfast for up to nine included, two nights minimum.
