Forge Motel

Comfortable, Affordable Accommodation in St Clears

The Forge Motel is a welcoming, great-value place to stay in the small market town of St Clears, in the picturesque county of Carmarthenshire. Offering comfortable, affordable en-suite rooms in a handy location, it makes a practical base for exploring the beautiful coast and countryside of south-west Wales — well placed between Carmarthen and the Pembrokeshire border, and within easy reach of some lovely beaches and the Dylan Thomas country of Laugharne.

The motel

The Forge offers comfortable, good-value en-suite rooms with everything you need for a relaxed stay and an easy night’s sleep. It is a straightforward, no-fuss sort of place — somewhere reliable and affordable to rest your head so you can spend your time and budget out exploring the area. For travellers who want a clean, comfortable room at a sensible price and a convenient location, it fits the bill nicely, whether you are passing through or basing yourself here for a few days.

What makes it special

The appeal here is value and position. St Clears sits at a natural crossroads in south-west Wales, so a comfortable, affordable base here opens up a great deal — the Carmarthenshire coast on one side, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on the other, and the rolling countryside of the Towy and Taf valleys all around. It is an easy, flexible spot from which to build a varied few days.

Exploring Carmarthenshire

There is plenty to discover from the Forge Motel. The historic township of Laugharne, forever associated with the poet Dylan Thomas and home to his Boathouse and castle, is a short drive away, as are the vast sands of Pendine and the beaches of Carmarthen Bay. The Pembrokeshire Coast, with its spectacular cliffs and beaches, begins just to the west, and the county town of Carmarthen, with its shops and markets, lies in the other direction. It is a superb base for a coast-and-countryside holiday.

Good to know

Carmarthenshire is sometimes called the “garden of Wales”, and St Clears sits right at its heart, well placed for both the county’s own coast and the wilder shores of Pembrokeshire next door. A comfortable, affordable base here is a sensible way to explore the area without stretching the budget — leaving more to spend on days out at Laugharne, Pendine or the beaches of Carmarthen Bay. The town has the everyday amenities you need, and its position just off the main routes west makes it an easy stop for travellers heading to or from Pembrokeshire. For walkers, beach-goers and anyone touring south-west Wales, it offers fuss-free, good-value accommodation in a genuinely convenient spot.
