CARMARTHENSHIRE - CHARACTER COUNTRY PUB & RESTAURANT WITH 4 BEDROOM OWNERS ACCOMMODATION

The Mansel Arms is a well run and long established character cottage style country pub which is beautifully presented and retains much of its historical character, having stone flagged floors, open fireplaces and excellent four bedroom owners’ accommodation above. The business can also be purchased with the adjacent stone barn which holds Planning Permission for a 5 Bedroom Private Residence and which is separate from the public house.

Located beside the B4310, one mile south of the village of Porthyrhyd, within the pretty Carmarthenshire countryside. The Mansel Arms is approximately seven miles southeast of the county town of Carmarthen and enjoys excellent communication links, being just off the main A48 close to its junction with the M4 motorway. The area attracts a large number of visitors throughout the year to its unspoilt countryside and numerous attractions within the close vicinity, especially the National Botanic Gardens of Wales which are approximately four miles to the north of the Mansel Arms via the B4310.
