Lamphey Court is a Greek revival mansion north of the village of Lamphey, Pembrokeshire, South Wales built in 1823 by Charles Delamotte Mathias. It was designated at Grade II* in 1970 as an important Greek revival house of high architectural quality.[1][2][3] After restorations and extensions Lamphey Court was re-opened by the present owners in 1980.[2] It currently operates as a Best Western hotel.

The main facade is two storeys high and seven bays wide. A full height four column Ionic portico occupies the three centre bays which are recessed behind the columns.[2] The whole is rendered and whitened and the low hipped slate roofs are concealed behind a plain parapet.[3] The gardens and park are listed, jointly with the garden at Lamphey Bishop's Palace, as Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[4]
