We spent a week here and had the best time. The cottage is well equipped (with a Nespresso machine) and everything you could need during your stay. The rooms are large with high ceilings giving every room a lovely airy feel. Although there is no parking we never had any issues parking outside. It takes 10 minutes to walk down to the beach, whichRead more is amazing with very few people on it (have the fish and chips from the kiosk there, they are amazing). Also do eat at the Inn at the Sticks (you will need to book), the food is amazing as were the pizzas from the The Pizza Bar at the local shop. There is a great circular walk with lots of POI's which we split into 2 walks and also went on the Sunset Cruise (Carmarthen Bay Ferry) which was exilerating and informative but if you suffer from seasickness it may be best to leave that one! We also went on the Gwili Railway on a rainy day which was also good fun. All in all the house is perfect for 6 adults, lots to do and good communication with the owners. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for two weeks and are pleased to say we had a good experience. The beds are comfortable, the showers are great and the kitchen is well equipped. The bedding and towels were all fresh and clean. We always managed to park, generally right outside the house but never more than a short distance away which was great as we had two cars between Read moreus. The location is good. We used the main route to Carmathan to join the main road as some of the other roads are quite small. The walk down to the beach is easy and the beach itself is very good. We took several long walks there as well as walking up to the castle. The local shop is also a cafe and gallery which is definitely worth a visit. The Inn at the Sticks is a great place to eat and there is also the fish and chip shop at the beach. We had a really good base for our holiday. Hide

This spacious well situated house steeped in history was very welcoming for our 3 generations. Everything you needed was there and we were comfortable throughout. We would certainly return.

This cottage oozes charm and character. It feels like a home from home with thoughtful equipment and supplies. The village and beaches are wonderful. Highly recommend getting pizza from the Village Shop and enjoying both Llansteffan beach and Scott's Bay, just a short walk along the coastal path.

Lovely spacious yet cosy house which was clean, tidy and so homely. Very comfy beds with high quality bed linen. Everything we needed was there, including a well equipped kitchen, a laundry room, outside seating areas in the pretty garden, good Wi-Fi, a smart tv with access to Amazon Prime and Disney, a great selection of books, dvds/cds, games, jRead moreigsaws and sheet music for the baby grand piano! There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival, too. The location was perfect for us with nearby walks and the beach less than 10 minutes walk away where theres a caf (very limited opening though) and Florries takeaway snacks and ice cream kiosks where we got good fish and chips to eat on the beach. Within under 5 minutes of the house (on foot) there is a restaurant, a pub and a pizzeria - all excellent - as well as a shop/caf. Everyone we came into contact with was friendly and welcoming. On road parking right outside the front door. Hide

What a beautiful cottage, in an amazing location. It has a very rural feel and is only a short walking distance to a stunning beach. I will definitely be returning to this idilic setting again next year.
