About Llys Meddyg
Llys Meddyg occupies a Georgian coaching house on the main street of Newport, a small town on the north Pembrokeshire coast beneath the hill of Carningli. The name means physician's house, which is what the building originally was. It is run as a restaurant with rooms rather than a full hotel, and the kitchen is the reason most people book.
There are eight or so bedrooms divided between the main house, the mews at the back and a garden suite. Main house rooms are the largest, with high ceilings, big beds, roll-top or freestanding baths and views over the street or garden. The mews rooms are quieter and open onto the walled garden. Decoration mixes original features with contemporary furniture, Welsh blankets and good bathrooms; there is nothing corporate about any of it. Some rooms take dogs.
The restaurant makes heavy use of the kitchen garden, local shellfish landed at Newport and Fishguard, and foraged ingredients from the surrounding hills and shoreline; the owners run foraging and fishing days for guests during parts of the year. There is a cellar bar with an open fire for colder evenings and a garden kitchen used for informal dining and drinks in summer. Breakfast is cooked to order and included.
Newport sits directly on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and the estuary, Parrog and the beach at Newport Sands are all within walking distance. Carningli and the Preseli Hills rise straight behind the town for a half-day's walking, and Pentre Ifan burial chamber and the coastal villages towards Cardigan are close by. It suits couples and walkers who want somewhere small, food-focused and easy to reach on foot from the path.

What guests say
Had a table booked, was seated, had ordered, and then our baby being looked after by grandparents at home had an absolute meltdown, meaning we had to leave without eating. Waiting stuff were so understanding about the situation. We have eaten here before and the food was excellent and it's sister restaurant, Sailor's Safety at Dinas Head, is also excellent. Will be back as soon as we can!

Really wanted to say that I had a great meal but can't. Had booked an outdoor pod but as the weather wasn't on it's best behaviour we were understandably moved inside. Starter was the crab which was a very small portion, extremely cold and bland. Main was mullet which was only marginally larger than an average starter, sauce was good but the fish was over cooked, crispy skin side and hard brown on the flesh side. Sides were the Pembroke potatoes and the carrots. Potatoes were good, can't really get them wrong, carrots were tasteless. We had a good bottle of wine even though it was served cold, it was warmed up for us in the end. Can't comment on the desserts. Sorry guys......I will try again in the summer maybe a different menu

Went for food for a birthday, it was amazing quality and great flavours, locally sourced when possible, the service was amazing and we had a great time. We went during a quiet period so it was just us and the fire pit outside but I bet it creates a great atmosphere with all those fairy lights and music when it's busier, will definitely be coming back to try some cocktails

Lovely place. Utter shambles. Booked for 19:00. Waited over an hour and a half before walking out. I understand how difficult things can get in a restaurant, especially on a Bank Holiday Weekend, but SIMPLE wins like putting bread on our table and giving an apology or communication - some level of basic communication. I’m sorry to say it was a disappointment and a ruined evening.
