disapointed

the cottage itself was very nice but for a partially disabled person I found it cold and uncomfortable. the sofa was far to low and the chairs extremely hard even using a cushion.

An enjoyable stay. Busy road but quiet at night

Nice house but as it was September it was getting a bit cold and damp. Time for the heating to be turned on. The television woke us up one night, it turned itself on. Maybe it is worth having a look at it.

Welsh bungalow

very nice bungalow but situated next to a busy (during the day) road and a lane - lovely views, cosy beds, ok walks up steep hills. Close enough to the National Botanical Garden of Wales which is huge and beautiful (we got a weekly ticket and went 3 times). TV worked well and the sofa was comfy to relax after hard days walking - bath was wonderful too.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Hello My name is Heather and I have lived in Wales permanently since 2013 when I moved here with my husband Alun from Rugby, Warwickshire, England. We have always loved this part of the country and are now very happy to live here and hope that you will enjoy this beautiful part of the country in our lovely cottage, which is just over the road from where we live.

Why they chose this property

My husband Alun was originally born in South Wales and wanted to move back here, and I am from Leicester. I used to go to Pembrokeshire on holiday as a child, the next county to Carmarthen and I now have to pinch myself that this wonderful countryside is now on my doorstep. We both love the great outdoors and there is so much exploring to do here, walking, cycling, the beaches and Castles are all very close by.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the stunning views from the balcony, double bedroom and kitchen of the Gwendraeth Fach and Carmarthenshire. There is a garden which also belongs to the cottage for quiet relaxation. You can also walk up the mountain, Myndd Llangyndeyrn and see 7 counties from the top and some ancient stone burial grounds.
