Eight years after it underwent a £1m revamp the historic watering hole haunt of poet Dylan Thomas is up for sale.
Grade II-listed Brown's Hotel in Laugharne, where the notorious hellraising bard spent many an evening half-cut, has been put on the market for £795,000.
And its next door sister business the New Three Mariners pub has also been placed up for grabs to the tune of £395,000.
Both are owned by Nigel Short, the man behind the award-winning Penderyn Whisky brand based in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
It was he who renovated the dilapidated Brown's in 2012, the venue having been closed since its previous owners, among them Men Behaving Badly star Neil Morrissey, decided to sell up in 2006.
Prior to that though the building had been a regular attraction for international celebrities thanks to its association with Thomas, with everyone dropping by from the likes of Hollywood stars such as Peter O'Toole and Pierce Brosnan to US president Jimmy Carter and Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger.
Its 2012 refurbishment saw it turned into a retro-chic boutique hotel, recreating how it would have looked in the Under Milk Wood author's 1950s heyday.
The building is described online by Sidney Phillips, the property agents handling its freehold sale, as, "An iconic hotel residing in one of West Wales' most recognised and busy tourist locations.
"Brown's Hotel stands in a prominent position in the town centre, and is a substantial and well appointed Grade II Listed property which received an investment of circa £1,000,000 in 2012.
"It currently offers quality trading areas with 14 very well appointed en suite individually designed letting rooms.
"It also has the benefit of a small meeting room and parking. The business is well appointed to take advantage of this very popular location."
The agents are also telling potential buyers to get their offers in quick, adding, "Due to the iconic nature of this business, interested parties are advised to act quickly to avoid disappointment."
