A spacious detached family retreat where you can relax and enjoy activities, and explore the heritage, culture and countryside. It is an ideal destination for enthusiastic walkers to take advantage of the surrounding hillsides and lakes. Set within the tiny hamlet of Myddfai where guests can enjoy the visitor centre and buy local produce from the monthly farmers’ market. A little further on is the Red Kite Feeding Station near Llanddeusant (3 miles). Also nearby is the popular town of Llandeilo (12.5 miles), Dinefwr Castle (11 miles) and Usk Reservoir (9.5 miles). The western tip of the Brecon Beacons is within 1 mile, with plenty of opportunities for walking, biking and climbing. This charming stone cottage enjoys an idyllic location deep in the Carmarthenshire countryside. Formally two cottages, the property has been lovingly restored into a spacious retreat with a contemporary twist that’s perfect for family and friends.

Step through the right-hand side front door into the entrance hall of this upside-down home where you can take a seat to remove your boots after a day exploring. The ground floor offers two charming bedrooms - a single bedroom to your right and a double on your left which has beautiful original features such as the old fireplace with a bread oven, and it benefits from a spacious en-suite shower room. Two more delightful bedrooms are located on the ground floor on the other side of the cottage: another characterful king-size bedroom and an en-suite bathroom, and a light and airy twin room also with an en-suite shower room. Heading upstairs you will find the perfect space for getting together and socialising, with a beautiful and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Snuggle up on the soft velvety grey sofas in front of the contemporary round wood-burning stove after a busy day of explorations and enjoy relaxing with a movie on the Smart TV or a family board game. The nominated chef can make the most of the modern kitchen, which is well equipped with everything you may need during your stay. A generously sized dining table and chairs is the ideal spot for a celebration supper. A utility area offers a washing machine and a family shower room. A further pantry room has a fridge/freezer, microwave and storage facilities which is also located on this floor.

The large, bi-fold doors open onto the patio, allowing you to connect with the outside space. Here you have ample garden furniture to enjoy some al fresco dining under the stars before stepping down onto the lower patio area for a relaxing soak in the 6-person hot tub.
