Based on recent reviews

The Castle Hotel is favored for its convenient location within Llandovery, particularly for those planning activities such as a Pen y Fan trek, and its proximity to EV charging stations.

The room included very comfy chairs. The windows had good blinds to block light. I found a huge comfy bed there.

I was met with a robotic list at check in. Room 3 had a large gap under the door. The blinds let in a lot of light.
