Beautiful clean comfortable cottage situated in a lovely spot in the centre of town, very quiet and peaceful at night. All amenities close by ideal location for exploring the beautiful area, we found Andrew the owner very helpful, we would highly recommend the cottage as a perfect place to spend a holiday.
Little Avalon is very well located in a quiet but central part of beautiful Laugharne, with parking. The house is extremely comfortable and immaculately clean, with kind and considerate hosts.It was a joy to have the castle, sea, pubs, restaurants etc within a very short walk from the house.We would not hesitate to recommend, and hope to return one day.
This was the cleanest cottage we’ve ever stayed in. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed.
Andrew was very helpful. We will definitely be back here.

A warm and functional base in small town setting.
Everything worked, spacious rooms, beds comfortable, owner went out of their way to be helpful. I have stayed in town before but I found this house and it's patio to be quite overlooked. Easy level walk to centre of town though, allocated parking and no traffic noise was a definite bonus.

Little Avalon is not in a secluded location, it is conveniently situated in the town centre yet offers a degree of privacy. Little Avalon is overlooked by just one house and this is at the rear, behind a six foot wooden fence.
Lovely cottage situated at the end of a quiet mews. Good eating places in easy walking distance. Laugharne has lots of good walks and further afield is the lovely walk from Colby Gardens to Amroth. Another place we enjoyed visiting was Lawrenny Quay.
Very comfortable house tucked away at the end of the mews. Woken up each morning to a chorus of birds which was lovely.
Only downside I would say is that it needs a king size bed rather than just doubles.

We agreed with your comment so there is now a King size bed in bedroom 1.
Comfortable well equipped cottage in the heart of Laugharne
Loved our week in Little Avalon. The cottage is comfortable in immaculate condition and very well equipped and decorated . There is good outside space and excellent TV package and the two decent size double bedrooms both have comfortable beds .
Communication with Andrew was excellent and the home baked welsh cakes from Angela accompanied by a bottle of wine were there to greet us on arrival . The property is in the heart of Laugharne ( but v quiet) and near to all the sights and amenities - shop pubs restaurants castle Dylan Thomas’s boathouse , numerous beautiful walks and is a short drive from the beautiful Pendine Sands. Laugharne is a real gem of a town and include proximity to many great walks sights and beaches . We definitely want to return and throughly recommend both the area and the property. 😀👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
War prima Unterkunft. Nur mit Gepäckanhänger wird es problematisch mit dem parken und auch keine Zufahrt bis direkt zur Unterkunft.

There is a parking space for one car and you also used a neighbour's space so that you could park the car and trailer for the duration of your stay. Of course you cannot drive down the 20m footpath to the cottage.
Alles sauber, toll ausgestattet und super Lage als letztes Haus in der Reihe mitten im Zentrum aber trotzdem sehr ruhig mit Sitzgelegenheit draußen am Bachlauf und eigenem Parkplatz.Der Gastgeber hat schnell reagiert und war sehr hilfsbereit.
Der kleine Ort Laugharne eignet sich wunderbar, um den Süden von Wales zu erkunden. Besonders, wenn man in dem schönen Häuschen Little Avalon wohnt.
Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll, teilweise (z.B. die Küche) wirkt es nagelneu. Die Ausstattung ist vollständig, von guter Qualität und alles ist sauber und aufgeräumt.
Hier wohnt man gerne!
Eine sehr schönes Ferienhaus in einer ländlich ruhigen Kleinstadt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Räume sind sehr nett und zurückhaltend dekoriert, sodass ausreichend Abstellmöglichkeiten für Urlauber vorhanden sind, auch in der Küche. Diese ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war hervorragend. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Obwohl der Ort klein ist, überrascht das Dexters in Browns Hotel mit einem der besten Steaks, die ich jemals hatte. Auch der Burger war ein Gedicht und ist sehr zu empfehlen. Auf den ersten Blick etwas teuer, aber die Fleischqualität erklärt den Mehrpreis selbstredend. Einen Besuch sollte man auf jeden Fall einplanen. Auch haben wir in der Umgebung einige unerwartete Entdeckungen gemacht, z. B. das Museum of Landspeed in Pendine. In den wilden 20er Jahren wurden hier Rekorde in den Strand gebrannt. Mit 280km/h über den Strand sind auch heute noch eine Leistung.
Zusammengefasst: Das Haus ist für uns jeden Penny wert.
Wir hatten dort sehr erholsame, ruhige Tage. Parkplatz 20 m entfernt.
In der Nähe sind einige Restaurants und ein kleiner Einkaufsladen für das Nötigste.
Der Ort ist sehr schön gelegen.
Die Wohnung hatte jeden Komfort. Sie war sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet.
Little Avalon ist ein sehr gemütliches Haus in einer kleinen Anlage. Mitten im Dorf und trotzdem an sehr ruhiger Lage, geschmackvoll eingerichtet für einen entspannten Aufenthalt.
Had a lovely weekend at this very cosy cottage.
Well placed close to the centre of the village (but back off the street so it was very quiet throughout).
2 spacious bedrooms and a well-stocked kitchen. Has its own parking space and a useful convenience store just around the corner.
Communication with Andrew was excellent throughout and the tips of places to visit in the welcome pack was much appreciated!
Highly recommend this cottage and would happily stay again
Little Avalon is a little gem. It is well stocked, extremely cosy and comfortable, a real home from home . Andrew and Angela are perfect hosts, so thoughtful and very quick to respond to any queries.
Central convenient location. Easy car parking. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Hosts have thoughtfully created a home from home situation with everything one could need, for a trouble free stay. And very full information about Laugharne, and the locality.
Andrew & Angela's cottage was a perfect place to call home for our stay. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. We so appreciate your hospitality and the care you took to prepare for our stay.
Great accommodation. Brilliant communication with the owner, lovely little touches such as Welsh cakes and top tips on what to do and see, spotlessly clean, parking, and nice decor made it a lovely stay. Fully recommend!
Very clean and comfortable property. Parking nearby. Kitchen well equipped. The only thing missing was an indoor clothes airer.
