The Corran in Laugharne - April 2013


 http://www.thecorran.com/


Three J's made it to The Corran Resort & Spa on a sunny April lunchtime.

This was formerly Hurst House and has recently had a 'makeover' by the new owner. We were fortunate to meet him and he came across as a very nice friendly guy. He seemed to have an understanding of what guests are looking for when they want to have a break away. After lunch, we somehow managed to get ourselves an invitation to have a look around many of the rooms & spa. We were all impressed by what is being done to the rooms and all of them looked comfortable and luxurious. On a cold April day we also liked the fact that all the rooms were warm!

Lunch was served in a large conservatory which was also warm, and whilst there was only one other table dining, there was a nice ambience and we all felt comfortable. We thought it would look really lovely in the evenings as there were lots of candles around.

Lunch was pleasant but perhaps fell slightly short of the rest of the surroundings.

The staff were very friendly and local, which is nice touch.

This is what we ate & drank...

non alcoholic mojito cocktails...

 Chicken dish..
 Butternut squash tagine with rice and yogurt & coriander..
 Courgette & Pea & Mint ravioli with butternut squash...
 A HUGE..cheeseboard..we could have shared it between the three of us!...
 Chocolate torte...
 Chocolate, pepper & ginger cake...
 A beautifully presented pot of tea....


Overall, we enjoyed our time at The Corran. We would definitely return and would tell others to try it...it has great potential to get even better....
