Lovely week in Carmarthenshire

My wife, I, and our cavvie had a great stay in Gorlech Cottage - plenty big enough for the 3 of us, a fully enclosed patio/mini-lawn area the hound can be let outside into without constant supervision and a very nice pub just down the road in Brechfa. Would very much use again if/when we go back to the area!

Gorgeous, peaceful cottage.

Steve & Cara were very welcoming - if you need anything just ask! Set in amongst the Welsh hills it's a beautiful spot and just right for walking, cycling etc. The community shop in Brechfa is great, so friendly and well stocked. The cottage is comfortable and has all you need for your stay. Thank you S&C

A beautiful little cottage, which actually isn't all that little! It was perfect for our family of three, and for entertaining the in-laws for dinner. It has a lovely garden with beautiful views. Our young son was beside himself with excitement at being able to watch some tractors at work when we arrived, and it is securely fenced, so we could allow our son and dog to play outside without worry. The kitchen is very well appointed, there is a lovely big dining table and comfy sofas in the living area, and the bedrooms were quiet and very comfortable. Honestly, we cannot fault it at all, and we look forward to staying again.

The perfect break after a stressful few weeks in work! Beautiful walks nearby - the dogs loved these. The accommodation is so quaint and relaxing. Well equipped will everything you will need - from teabags to sharp knives! Dishwasher and washing machine very handy features, too.

Lovely quiet cottage

We had a lovely three night stay at Brechfa cottage. Beautifully cosy cottage perfect for three humans and a dog. Extremely helpful and friendly hosts made us feel very welcome. Very peaceful location close to Brechfa and Abergorlech (you can access forest walks from the latter). Both lovely villages with pubs. We had a lovely meal at the Forest Arms in Brecfa (book ahead), The Black Lion in Abergorlech is also supposed to be lovely but we left it too late and couldn't get a table. The beach at Llansteffan is beautiful, we also enjoyed the castle at Dinefwr and lunch at Wright's in Llanarthne! Lots to do in the area, what we loved was that it was so peaceful with great roads and really not very busy with loads of tourists and congested traffic. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, we loved our stay and the break did us good x

Beautifully appointed cottage in perfect location

Steve happened to meet us in person with his adorable little dog Bodhi when we arrived at this amazing cottage, although he also has a great set up for contactless check in too. The cottage itself is perfect, really tastefully furnished and equipped with all the appliances and items you might need on your holiday. The beds are very comfortable and there’s loads of space to relax, inside and out. The location is incredible, right in the heart of Brechfa forest, only a few minutes cycle to the start of some brilliant purpose built mountain biking trails of varying difficulty (we also hired 2 really good mountain bikes from Steve for the day). It is also under an hour to New Quay in the north and Saundersfoot in the south of the area if you want to get to the coast. The weather was, let’s say unpredictable, but that didn’t stop us doing anything. I’m sure we only touched the surface in terms of stuff you can do in this area but we would love to return soon. Thanks again Steve for all of your help and recommendations too.

Wonderful break in beautiful Wales

We really had the best time in Wales. We were very spoilt with a lovely week of weather, but even so, the location of the property was surrounded by the beautiful Brechfa Forest which was so lovely to wake up to! The cottage was comfortable and ticked all our boxes with a lovely large table perfect for dinner time and board games. The outdoor space was great for our little dog and also looked out at the beautiful forest. Star gazing outside was also up there! Location wise we found it relatively close to the areas we wished to explore and also went to the owners three favourite beaches! We've been reminiscing this week and what a lovely break it was.... and would like to come back! Thank you to Stephen.
