Browns Hotel is a guesthouse and pub in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is a grade II listed building and is known for being the favourite pub of the poet and writer, Dylan Thomas.[1][2] He lived in Laugharne from 1938 to 1940 and from 1949 to 1953 in the Boathouse (now known as the Dylan Thomas Boathouse, and open to the public as a museum). Brown's Hotel is situated in King Street close to the 18th-century market house and town hall in the centre of Laugharne.
