Pet-Friendly Accommodations

Dogs are welcome at The Brown's Hotel for an additional charge, and guests must request a dog-friendly room in advance.

Live music performances are held at the bar that Dylan Thomas once visited, creating a relaxed evening atmosphere. The reading room features an inglenook fireplace where guests can sit with a book. The entire property can be hired for private events, such as celebrations and group gatherings.
