We love fellowship at Grey Alders.

Grey Alders is owned by Stephen & Judy.

We run the Grey Alders farm and retreat centre.  Visitors  are always welcome, especially those who come to stay or pick up some super-aged beef or mutton.

Our B&B and retreat offers a relaxing faith-enhancing stay.  Our rooms are linked right here.  We are around most of the time and are happy to help with ideas of places to visit in the vicinity or further afield. We can help you find a local restaurant, beach, castle, walk or view.

Local restaurants

There are restaurants in Carmarthen. These include Hen Derwen (‘The Old Oak' - Wetherspoons) in King Street.  Park in the car park by St Peter's (Postcode SA31 1GW) and walk down King Street.  Yr Hen Derwen is on the right.  (By the way, St Peter's is the oldest place of worship in the oldest town in Wales.  The Celtic Christians took over the site from the Iron-Age pagans.  The clue is the typical pagan circular burial ground.)

St Clears is nearer.  On the road leading to and from Meidrim you will see take-away fish and chips.  There is another fish & chips and a Chinese in the town centre, while Bangladeshi food is found at the Eliaichi.  The Black Lion and the Corvus are basic but the latter will feed you well.  Just outside on the Pembroke & Tenby road on the left you'll see the Savoy (01994 230664) which does steaks and ribs and so on.  Savoy's postcode SA33 4JP will take you through St Clears centre.

Also try the Fox & Hounds in Banc-y-felin just off the A40 between Carmarthen and St Clears.  Address  High St, Bancyfelin, Carmarthen, Dyfed SA33 5ND.

Grey Alders Lodge

A two-course meal is available with us as well on demand with a day's notice. It's pot luck, but obviously, our dry-aged beef or mutton will normally feature.!

This link takes you to some of the local activities.

There is free Wi-Fi on site except in Granadas, but the EE/3 mast is visible from the whole site anyway.  Broadband is not the fastest but you will be able to keep up with your emails and do basic browsing. You are also welcome to walk around the farm, see the fields and watch the sheep and cattle.  You can walk right down to the river at the bottom of the farm. And then walk back up again.

We also welcome farm volunteers and we are waiting right now for the right person or couple to manage the farm. A horticulturalist will also be welcome on a share-farming basis.  Click on 'Opportunities' right here.
