ACCOMMODATION

Hotels and Guest Houses

The Black Lion Inn is a real hidden gem. It is tucked away in the small hamlet of Abergorlech. Set on the bank of the River Cothi and flanked by the medieval church the pub itself is almost as old as the church with parts dating back to the 1600s. Inside, old black beams, stone flagged floors and an inglenook fireplace all add to the considerable charm. Mine hosts at this enchanting old hostelry are George and Louise Rashbrook who bought the pub in the summer of 2006. Since moving in they have put time and effort into making the Inn as welcoming and enjoyable as possible. A mouth watering menu has been introduced providing plenty of hearty homecooked food using fresh, local produce which is proving a real hit with clients old and new. Home made pies, curries and puddings feature for main course, with good old fashioned desserts such as Bread and Butter Pudding, Treacle Tart, Apple and Blackberry Crumble (picked from the garden) and locally sourced dairy ice cream. Sundays offer a 3 course home made lunch and bar snacks.

Food is available for lunch and dinner, except Mondays in the Winter when the Pub is closed. Booking is necessary in the Summer months for dinner, and is recommended at other times to ensure a cosy spot in the bar or restaurant. Combine your visit to the Inn with a country walk along the Gorlech river in the adjacent forest, or bring your mountain bikes to explore the recently completed trails.

A short distance from the Inn is a self contained cottage sleeping 8 to let www.gorlechtrail.com
