This delightful cottage is located on a beautiful Welsh hillside with plenty of local hiking and cycling trails for you to enjoy. The scenic market town of Llandovery (7.5 miles east) provides a gateway to the stunning Cambrian Mountains, Brecon Beacons and has plenty of inns, restaurants, and shops to explore. Continue past Llandovery Castle and on 4 miles to find Myddfai, a small hamlet, that offers a popular visitors’ centre with a cafe. The vibrant and colourful town of Llandeilo is 13 miles south and offers numerous independent shops – a great place to pick up some Welsh souvenirs. Step back in time at The Dolaucothi Gold Mines, 4 miles north, before heading further north to the university town of Lampeter. Here you can learn about traditional arts and crafts such as the making of Welsh blankets and quilts.

Step into this rural retreat via the hallway where you can kick off your walking shoes after a busy day exploring. To your right is a bright and airy country style kitchen well equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher, electric oven and hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Back through the hall you enter the open-plan living room and dining area, with a cast iron wood burner, perfect for snuggling up and enjoying a movie on the TV. Enjoy a family breakfast together at the dining table or step through the oak French doors out onto the patio where you will find a table and chairs for al fresco dining and superb views down the valley. There is a lovely king-size bedroom on the first floor with an antique wardrobe, bedside tables and a door leading to a stone staircase at the side of the property. Also on this floor is a family bathroom with shower over bath and a second twin bedroom, but this can also be set up as a super-king bed if requested on booking.

Outside is an enclosed patio area with garden furniture, BBQ and fire pit where you can relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. Speak to your host's about a guided tour to view their exotic conservation bird collection located in aviaries within the surrounding grounds.

An extremely well appointed cottage, possibly the best we've ever stayed in, with stunning views and friendly owners next door. I am particularly concerned about beds - this was absolutely perfect - and showers - easily controllable, excellent water supply! The kitchen has everything and, unlike some places we've stayed in, plenty of plates/bowls/eRead moretc. Didn't use the BBQ or fire-pit but great to have them available. Very comfortable seating area although we took our breakfasts on the patio because of those views. Great sunsets too! I took up the offer of visiting the Andean condors in their huge aviary and it was a powerful experience. Hide

We had a wonderful holiday! The cottage was immaculate and very cozy and furnished very comfortably. Every amenity was provided - down to the fans in each bedroom. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. We enjoyed the tour of the aviary and the chirping of the birds added a lovely touch to our hRead moreoliday. We discovered the beauty of South Wales and recharged in the most peaceful surroundings! We would definitely recommend this cottage and we hope to return again! Hide
