The Daffodil is a Michelin-awarded food-led country pub, with high quality Shepherd's Hut accommodation (bookable directly via The Daffodil website and via Air B&B) in the pretty rural village of Penrhiwllan. Located 4 miles from Newcastle Emlyn, midway between Cardigan, Carmarthen & Aberystwyth, it's an ideal location for a few days rest or a relaxing meal in scenic surroundings.

Food at The Daffodil is freshly prepared using the best quality local produce wherever possible. The menu, available to guests eating in the restaurant, bar areas and outside decking over-looking the unspoilt valley incorporates dishes appropriate for full three-course dining and for those wishing for more traditional bar-meal-style dining. Guests can watch our chefs working in full view in our gallery kitchen, or enjoy the unspoilt view across the valley, eating on the south-facing decking.

Not had breakfast at the Daff for quite a while so delighted with the full breakfast with added black pudding. Super stuff. Have you changed the coffee beans you use? Seemed to be a bit richer and nutty which I prefer anyway.

Overall poor food, poor service. Local and over last 10 years this pub varies depending on staff, chef in particular. Winter hours, so maybe a different chef, but this pub can be excellent or diabolical on any visit. This is final time for me. Entertaining family and don't want to be this embarrassed by providing such shoddy food and service ever again

This reply applies to all four of the spiteful reviews you chose to publish about us on the same day, two on Tripadvisor and two on Opentable - which speaks volumes about your character... Please see our full response to your other similar review from 'Penny P', two reviews below this one. The Daffodil is a successful family-run business owned by us for 11 years now. We are proud of our local reputation, being known for excellent food and good service. Our Head Chef of 8 years is amazing & he is renowned for his fabulous Sunday roasts. Yours was the only complaint we received that day, and what motive could you possibly have to post two destructive reviews on both Tripadvisor and Open table in different names?!! Hugh & Gill. (family owners of The Daffodil).

We were a group of four with two beagles. The food was great as was the service and the whole place, having just reopened after a referb, had a really nice buzzy vibe about it. We will be back again soon.

Very welcoming staff and great atmosphere. The food was simply stunning and full of flavour, particularly the chicken and veg dish that my partner chose. Really efficient service and will definitely be back!
