This independent yet large hotel has a team of helpful, local staff who aim to ensure that your visit is not only unique, but also personal to you.

Nestled into a wooded hillside overlooking Carmarthen Bay and the famous Stradey Park the views from the hotel capture the ever-changing coast and the tranquillity of the surrounding green environment.

History
This eminent hotel sits in pride of place over-looking Stradey Park and out to the Burry Estuary. The hotel is deeply rooted in the history of the area: the original owner of the Edwardian mansion gave the area its name, Furnace. Alexander Raby, the son of the industrialist of the same name owned Raby’s Furnace and lived in, what is now, the Stradey Park Hotel; an iron bridge connected the two properties.

In 1976 Trust House bought the mansion house and converted it into the premier hotel for the area, making extensive changes along the way including the addition of the bedroom block and the banqueting hall. During this period of refurbishment many cannon balls from the Raby’s Furnace were discovered; these cannon balls being the very weapons regarded as saving Wales from French invasion.

Then in 2000 the hotel was taken over by its current owners who embarked on 2 phases of extensive and loving renovation, which achieved WTB 4 star status for the hotel in 2003. This renovation included an extension to the front of the hotel creating a welcoming and distinct restaurant quite unlike standard hotel dining areas. Refurbishment of all public areas including a new contemporary bar, stylish Brazz restaurant and elegant walkways was completed at the end of 2006.

Sleep
The hotel offers a wide range of comfortable accommodation including spacious family rooms, en-suite twin and double bedrooms, clubrooms and a luxury suite.

All 83 rooms have contemporary en-suites, wireless Internet access, telephone and fax facilities, a hair dryer, tea/coffee making facilities, iron and ironing board plus bathroom essentials. All guests also have access to photocopying and typing facilities, dry-cleaning and laundry, early morning calls, newspapers and express checkouts.

For a little more luxury the clubrooms on the third floor all boast remarkable sea views, king-size beds, plush robes, complimentary wireless Internet access, flat screen televisions and access to the exclusive Rooftop Lounge.

Breakfast is served in the picturesque Brazz restaurant, where a delicious selection of hot and cold dishes can be enjoyed by all hotel guests.

The recently refurbished Brazz restaurant has sweeping views of the Burry Estuary through the half crescent windows, which makes it a perfect setting for a romantic meal, special celebration or simply an opportunity to unwind. Lovingly prepared locally sourced produce is imaginatively combined to create the mouth-watering restaurant menu.

The highly skilled head chef ensures a range of dishes to suit all tastes with a special focus on indigenous ingredients. The ever-changing menu often features local specialities such as Penclawdd cockles, Celtic Pride Beef and Red Devil cheese.

Bar meals and snacks for a less formal setting are also available in the Parc Bar, these include a simple yet tasty selection of traditional foods.

Drink
The Parc Bar provides an informal, contemporary backdrop for you to relax and be made to feel at home. The décor is a modern twist on the Art Deco style making it a stylish place for hotel and restaurant guests as well as those attending events. The friendly bar staff add a welcoming atmosphere to accompany the chic interior and beautifully lit bar.

The bar offers a range of ales, lagers, spirits, wines and liqueurs, many exquisite Welsh brands are stocked including the locally brewed Felinfoel Double Dragon ale, the superb single malt Penderyn and the deliciously creamy Merlyn.

During the day it is also the perfect place to relax with a warming drink from a vast selection of teas and coffees.

In the Brazz restaurant a wine list comprised of bottles hand picked by a local connoisseur complement the menu.

Relax
The most elevated position in the hotel, the Rooftop Lounge has phenomenal views stretching across the Carmarthenshire coast and Burry Estuary, as well as looking over the world-famous Stradey Park.

The Rooftop offers a contemporary twist on an Art Deco lounge complete with a glossy black piano, stylish dark wood chairs and sensitively designed ambient lighting. An ideal setting for relaxing afternoons with the papers, a quiet drink or an exclusive party or celebration.

Whether it is a moody autumn escape, a sparkly winter event or making the most of the terrace and light evenings with a celebration in the sunshine, the Rooftop provides a haven for many occasions.

The Rooftop Lounge is licensed to hold marriage ceremonies making it the perfect space for an intimate and unique gathering.
