“Very good cottage nicely equipped kitchen etc.”

really relaxing peaceful place lovely views of countryside and the stars at night plenty of wildlife around to watch

“Farm location is idyllic.”

Lovely garden and outdoor seating area with hot tub. Flowers and butterflies everywhere. Cows and hens in neighbouring field, and a very friendly farm dog. Owners lived next door and available and helpful but unobtrusive. Cottage itself is compact but well designed and enough space for four of us. Clean and comfortable. We would have liked a few more plates, bowls etc in kitchen as we like to put food on table and help ourselves.

“The sealant around the shower needs replacing, black mould in a small area.”

The crockery needs replacing as several plates have chips out of them. There were crumbs around the cooker and dust under the beds on arrival. There were no instructions on how to put the heating on and there was no kindling left or enough logs to light the wood burner even once. Instructions on how to get the water in the shower hot would have been helpful instead of having to call the owner. Recommendations of places to eat further afield would have been helpful as the local pubs were not serving food the nights we tried. The welcome basket would have been a nice thought had the coffee not been rock hard so obviously not been checked before we arrived. We also didn't discover this basket until two days after we arrived as the free newspaper of things to do had been placed on top of it. Our first experience of a cottage holiday will not be repeated

- William, June 2024

Thankyou for your comments- we will undertake to remedy those items noted. The use of the log burner during the summer period is usually not carried out - however the inclement none typical weather may have been a factor. The shower was operating correctly and was due to the guests. Instructions for use of a shower are not necessary. The heating system has a simple instruction in the guest file and is operated on a simple thermostat on entry to the cottage. We appreciate that the very poor weather experienced during the stay may have influenced the comments. Property Owner

Paul July 2023

“We loved our stay at Ffynnonlwyd Cottage.”

We went with our two children (aged 7 and 9) and it was perfect. The hot tub in the evening was a perfect way to end the day after going to the beach, a walk or nearby town. Everywhere is around a 30 minute drive and the beaches were spectacular. We were also grateful to the owners, Mr Lloyd, when our daughter lost her ring he found it and left in a safe place for us to collect on the last day when we had already vacated.

- Paul, July 2023

Many thanks. Property Owner
Amanda June 2023

“This is a really lovely holiday cottage, comfortable, clean and homely, ideal for a family of 4, and perfectly located for exploring the coastline of South Wales, would highly recommend.”

The owners are helpful and friendly and the dogs were an absolute pleasure. The hot tub is also lovely to relax in at the end of the day. Overall a lovely holiday, thank you!

- Amanda, June 2023

Many thanks and hope to see you back again soon. Property Owner
Rachel May 2023

“We had a really lovely week - the cottage felt like a piece of Tuscany in the Welsh countryside!”

The hot tub area surpassed all of our expectations and was lovely to sink into every night. The cottage was very peaceful, but a perfect location for all of the lovely places we visited. Jimmy and Bonnie were an added bonus and we loved having them at the cottage. We also met the owner who made us feel very welcome! We would love to come back in the future and would recommend the cottage to anyone! Rachel and Tony

“Instructions need updating, said you will see large blue sign when you arrive at destination, it is a small plaque on wall which could be easily missed if you didn’t have a sat nav.”

- Lorraine, May 2023

Many thanks - will update the signage. Property Owner
Sandeep April 2023

“Lovely cozy & very clean cottage.”

Beautiful rural location. Ample of greenery and pleasing atmosphere.All the amenities as described. Owners were very helpful and cooperative. Welcome pack and the puppies on the farm were icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend to others and will be visiting it again.

- Sandeep, April 2023

Many thanks for the great response and hope to see you again. Property Owner

Sue September 2022

“A lovely cosy cottage, spacious and nicely furnished, comfortable bed.”

Really appreciated the outside space, i.e. garden with patio set and sun beds, also the covered seating area with hot tub which was pure bliss! The log fire was also a nice feature. A couple of negatives - the shower only provided tepid water despite several attempts to control the heat. Also, the size of the bath towels is inadequate - bath sheets please!! Lastly, Jimmy the dog was a welcome temporary guest - such a character and so lovable.

- Sue, September 2022

Many thanks for comments. We have checked the shower which is a relatively new mixer and could not find a fault - we would have appreciated a comment during the stay. The provision of towelling for the hot tub is the responsibility of the guests as is stated in the Pre- booking information on the Sykes site. Many thanks once again. Property Owner
Janet September 2022

“Cottage was excellent and quite large for the 2 of us, but would have easily accommodated 4.”

Very rural as on a working dairy farm. Places such as Tenby, Fishguard, St Davids were all easily accessed for day trips. The beaches are wonderful in this part of Wales. Many are long and sandy. Pendine Sands is unbelievable, however the motor museum is undergoing major changes so is currently not open. Jim the dog was a very friendly asset to our cottage stay. Made himself quite at home. Lovely welcome basket as well. A suor choice of location and cottage.

- Janet, September 2022

Many thanks for your comments. Property Owner
Paul September 2022

“Great area and a nice comfy cottage, issues with flush maceration system and kept going off every night at least 8 times every 2 hrs.”

.. When reporting it I was told yes they had issues with it from previous guest.. but not sorted .

- Paul, September 2022
Grace August 2022

“The cottage is lovely!”

(The photos are accurate). The owner is really friendly and helpful and even gave us some fresh milk, which was delicious, by the way! The cottage was easy to find, and have beautiful setting. Are even have small cows in your back garden. My children loved Jim the family dog too. We watched the cattle being milked, which was a lovely experience. We loved South Wales and we would 100% recommend the cottage and the area. Thank you so much!

- Grace, August 2022
Joseph August 2022

“The cottage was very clean and tidy and was a great size for everything we needed.”

It was nicely located close to local towns and villages. We were pleased with the additional hot tub and welcome basket which we felt was a nice touch.

Roble July 2022

“We had such a great time!”

The house was really cozy, the beds were comfortable to sleep on. The kitchen had everything we needed, very convenient we managed to cook all our meals :) The local shop is about 15 to 20 minutes drive so not to bad. So do make sure if you want to visit that you have a car. There is a local beach (Pendine beach) near by, again very convenient if you have kids. Also having a washing machine in the house made things so much easier for us. All in all we had a great time the kids loved it!

Monica June 2022

“A great cottage for relaxing, peaceful although on a working dairy farm there was not much noise, very interesting watching the cows being milked which was shown to us by Haydn the owner, very friendly family.”

Pretty garden with lots of hanging baskets. Everything you need was in the cottage, after a day visiting the surrounding area it was nice to step into the Hot Tub which was covered and nice sitting area outside. Jimmy the dog visited most evenings very friendly . Many thanks for an enjoyable week.

- Monica, June 2022
Edward June 2022

“The pictures do not do justice to this fantastic cottage the welcome we received was not what we expected Jim the dog was a fantastic greeter and meeter he was such a character, We could not fault our stay at this cottage and the whole farm family were very pleasant, It was exactly what we needed for a perfectly relaxing holiday.”

The location of the cottage is ideal for visiting local beauty spots and towns. We would not hesitate to book the cottage again. Eddie and Karen

- Edward, June 2022
Kerry May 2022

“The cottage is extremely comfortable for a famiy of 4.”

The location is lovely and quiet, only the odd occassional moo was heard. The hot tub was great after a long day out and my boys loved it. Jimmy the dog was also a regular visitor to the cottage which gave my youngest the best holiday ever!

- Kerry, May 2022

Many thanks for your kind words - hope to see you again soon . Property Owner
Sheila May 2022

“Stayed at the cottage for 4 nights, it was clean, comfortable, exactly as advertised.”

Comfortable beds, good shower, fabulous hot tub which being under cover can be used whatever the weather. The welcome hamper was a lovely treat. Amazing bird life, enjoyed watching the swallows and robins, even saw a red kite. Nathan the host was very good, but must mention the adorable Jimmy, the meet & greet dog, who joined us on the decking for afternoon cuddles. Would highly recommend and hope to go again.

- Sheila, May 2022

Many thanks for your kind words. Jimmy says hi and hopes to you again. Property Owner

“This was a fantastic cottage, even better than the pictures, the owners were very welcoming and even though it is situated on a working farm there was very little noise to disrupt our stay, would definitely recommend to others.”

we booked this cottage last minute but the place was immaculately clean with a very well stocked welcoming basket. Will definitely be booking here again

G October 2021

“The cottage was idyllic, cosy and comfortable.”

Very clean with everything you need for a self catering stay. Hot Tub was fantastic, warm and all prepared for when we arrived. As stated, it is on a working farm with cows and all that comes with them. For me and my partner it was perfect. Many thanks to the Owner and his lovely cleaner for a wonderful stay.

- G, October 2021
Stanley October 2021

“Good location, and well equipped cottage, no problems.”

The hot tub was enjoyable at the end of days sightseeing. Just one pint we would make to the owners is whether the heated towel rail in the bathroom (which is a good size) would be enough in colder weather? The heating in the cottage was very efficient and although tempted we did not use the wood burning stove. the provision of an efficient washing machine was a bonus In summary a place that we would happily return to and recommend to others

- Stanley, October 2021
Vicki October 2021

“Have booked before with Sykes and think we have been very spoilt with the accomodation we have previously stayed in.”

Ffynnonlwyd Cottage itself was adequate, however, I do feel the bathroom was in need of some TLC. Realised on reflection that no photo was available of the shower and when we stayed here, we understand why. The shower itself was actually very good and powerful but the enclosure was very small and a little run down. I am of a large build and did struggle getting in and out, even my partner with a smaller frame still found this a little restricting in space. There is so much room in the bathroom to make something so much better than what is available. The bedding was very simple and did have a couple of stains on as did a couple of the towels. A few cobwebs which always makes me on edge when staying at an property however the kitchen was spotless. The hottub was the main reason for booking as we always like to relax in one after a good days walking. We couldnt fault this. Hot and well maintained , just a shame we couldnt use it after our very long journey on arrival. Someone already mentioned the steps to the garden and I agree they are extremely slippery as was the decking, some parts covered in algae. Although after coming back on our second day,we noticed the steps had been washed and the decking had been attempted to be cleaned also. The finer detail and little touches which could have made such a difference was lacking.A small welcome basket with tea coffee and sugar was provided but just my personal opinion,Condiments would have been a little touch that could have been available at the cottage. There is no salt or pepper. There was a small bin in the bathroom but no liner or any type of small bags that ladies need to have available . The plumbing and toilet is on a macerator so you could not flush certain things so these sanitary bags would have been extremely helpful and handy. We sadly never got to light the log fire as there was nothing there to light the fire and we wasnt met by the owner until he said hello on our last day as we were leaving. I guess we could have knocked at the house to ask for some fire lighters. All that being said, we had a lovely break away and enjoyed our stay in Wales. The cottage is ideally situated to visit some beautiful places.

- Vicki, October 2021

Thank you for your comments. The bathroom and shower will be the next renovation at Ffynnonlwyd cottage during the winter period - a new shower unit will be fitted. The current bathroom has not had any issues and is clean and tidy at all times. We have not purposely left the shower off the pictures and find this comment somewhat insulting. We will look to add a picture asap. The bedding is not simple - it is white in colour and practical for cleaning etc. We check the laundry every week and take out anything that may have a stain. We apologise if there was a stain however we are surprised as this is checked thoroughly. Cobwebs are also removed by the cleaner and double checked by the owner each week - cobwebs can return overnight especially out in the coutryside as we are. Farms and the countryside generally have more flies etc and where there are flies we normally get Spiders. The Hot Tub is cleaned and emptied between guests and we inform the guest that the hot tub will be ready by 12 noon the following day. We do not have the facility to fill with hot water at present but this will be possible next season. The steps and decking/surround around Hot Tub is cleaned with Hot Water and detergent every week as part of the Hot Tub cleaning process and this was done before the guest arrived and not a day afterwards as indicated below. When wet, all steps can be slippery there are signs indicating this. The decking area was cleaned throroughly before the guest arrived. In most situations the guest are very happy with the welcome pack. Condiments such as salt and pepper were discontinued due to Covid rules but could be re-introduced now. Regarding the bin in the bathroom, thank you for drawing this to our attention, this was a mistake and will be corrected for the future. Logs and kindling are provided - we accept that the fire lighters may not have been present. _*We apologise for not carrying out the meet and greet however due to commitments the time had passed rapidly during a busy week. *_ _*We are always available nearby for any queries and if the guests need anything. Just ask.*_ _* Property Owner
Gill September 2021

“We were delighted with this holiday and the cottage.”

It was so peaceful. I expected to be woken each morning by the sound of living on a working farm, but instead, it was the sound of birds, and cow's in the distance. We had very little contact with the owners as they were on holiday at the same time, but we didn't need any help with anything until our 7th day, and our problem was solved immediately by the owners son Rhodric (sorry if i spelt that wrong!) & the cleaner Sharon, who were both wonderful & a plumber had the problem fixed by the end of the day. I couldn't fault the cottage and hope that one day we go back again.

- Gill, September 2021

“The cottage was a lovely quiet and comfy getaway.”

Ideal for trips to super beaches and countryside walks. Returning to chill out in the hot tub a nice end to the day.

“We had a really lovely time, the cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The hot tub was clean and pleasurable to use and the working farm was very relaxing to see. Perfect cottage, perfect location and prefect staycation.

“We have just return from a week at The cottage and it was amazing.”

Exactly as described. A lovely little cottage on a working farm. Our first impressions when entering the farm was how clean and well maintained it was. Haydn and Sian were so welcoming and showed us around their gorgeous gardens. The children were thrilled to be welcomed by little old Jim the dog every day and we even got to see baby cows in the small field behind the cottage. The accommodation was perfect. Clean, spacious with everything we needed and the added bonus of a washing machine to freshen up our beach towels and the children’s clothes. The hot tub was amazing and never lost its heat. You can tell it is well maintained. The patio area is full of plants and the view out of the kitchen window of Hayden and Sian’s flowers is beautiful. Even on the first day when it was a bit rainy it did not dampen our spirits as the cottage is so lovely. Haydn bought us logs for the log burner so we could have a cosy evening by the log burner after a dip in the undercover hot tub and take in the idealic peace of being in the countryside. We loved that (like the surrounding area) the garden was on multiple levels (which were easily accessible by our children and mother in law) as it allowed us to take in the great surrounding views. The local town St Clears has great shops to get fresh food including butchers and a bakers and several pubs, restaurants and takeaways. The cottage is in an easy drive of many local attractions for both kids and adults. During our time we visited beaches at Saundersfoot, Amroth, Pendine and Tenby. We took a boat ride from Tenby to an amazing island. When the weather was not as sunny we visited Camarthen indoor market and walked around several fantastic castles. We also had a great day at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. On our final day we took the children to Heatherton World of Adventures. All these places we would highly recommend. We definitely hope to be back as the accommodation was perfect and we still have lots more places to explore. Thank-you Haydn and Sian …… Ps this kids are missing Jim the dog already

Stella August 2021

“There was no mention in the description that the bathroom ran on a macherator system, which would have caused me to disregard this cottage completely, as both myself and my daughter have a phobia about toilets and plumbing in general.”

Second bedroom had no window, to compensate a glass door with a net curtain was used to bring natural light in. However, straight outside this door, the passage has an automatic light that comes on and off as you pass, waking them up. One of the beds in the twin room was rock hard, leaving my daughter taking pain killers. The garden was up really steep steps and there should have been a fence around it to stop the dog trying to jump down such a steep drop. Hot tub not hot enough toward end of week. There was a leak under bathroom sink, after we told owner he came straight away to fix it. However, it didn't fix the problem.

- Stella, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We have not come across any issues with the toilet and plumbing system causing any phobias or fears and would imagine that most cottages will have similar toilets and plumbing. The use of a standard Saniflo type toilet system is very common in most domestic houses and this system only operates when the toilet is flushed. The system is regularly checked and serviced annually. The leak beneath the sink was checked during the stay and was not found to be leaking - the small amount of water on the shelf was cleaned during the stay. Water can easily come from anywhere and so this appears to be user error. The twin bedroom does not have an outside window as it is an internal room within a building. The door is glass paned and has a screen attached. There has never been any issues with this before. The twin beds have been checked following the comments and both are less than 5 years old and again a bed's hardness and is personal preference. The mattresses are clean and in good condition. The passageway leading from the hallway does have an automatic light however this was installed to aid guests arriving late - this has been a very successful addition made a few years ago and the comments made are noted but will not be acted upon. The garden area is accessed by a few steps which are no steeper than most household stairs. They are kept clean and free from deposits regularly. They access a pretty garden area. The comments regarding the dog trying to jump down from the garden area to the hot tub area are subjective. We regularly carry out risk assessments on safety and this has never been an issue. To fence this area would be difficult and counterproductive. The hot tub temperature: the hot tub is emptied / sanitised and refilled with clean water between every guest stay. The temperature is set at 38.5 degrees. The temperature at the end of the stay was altered by the guest to 35.5 degrees which could explain the reduction. These comments received do not match up with the many other very positive reviews we usually receive from other guests who have visited the property. Regards, Haydn Property Owner
Steven August 2021

“We loved every minute.”

The cottage was perfect and the hot tub really made our stay! Haydn and Sian were extremely welcoming and showed us around the farm and little Jim the dog greeted us home at the end of every day, much to the children’s delight! The cottage was in a great location for visiting Tenby and Carmarthen and e had a lovely day at Marloes beach. All in all it was exactly what we were after and would definitely return.

- Steven, August 2021

Thank you for your kind comments. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again in the near future. Best wishes Property Owner

Karen June 2021

“Lovely cottage set in an ideal location to travel around Wales.”

Comfortable clean and very homely, lovely cottage garden that was very secure for our dogs they loved it. Owners were really helpful and always around if we needed them. The cottage is set on a working farm that has to be one of the cleanest and friendliest we have ever stayed on. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Lloyd you have created a great get away retreat, we would love to return again.

- Karen, June 2021

“Lovely cottage, it is on the owner’s farm but you would never know they were there unless you needed them.”

Had a fantastic week visiting the local area, Castell Henlly is a great day out, and the kids will love it. Beautiful beaches and little towns. Back at the cottage there is everything you could need and the hot tub, well that’s the icing on the cake. We will definitely be booking again and can’t wait to return to this beautiful place. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Lloyd for a wonderful experience.

- Stephen, May 2021

“Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.”

Hayden was a very good host and made me and Wife's stay very comfortable. The facilities at the cottage were excellent and having the hot tub was fantastic. Very good location to stay at and we had the privilege of seeing a new born calf. Would definitely return if had the opportunity.

- Darren, May 2021
Grace May 2021

“Had a lovely stay at this cottage.”

It’s located on a farm so expect animals and farm work noises, but was very comforting and homely and Mr and Mrs Lloyd were so welcoming and friendly! It’s a beautiful area and was lovely to eat breakfast watching over the cows. The facilities were excellent in the cottage and the hot tub was a fabulous relaxing extra bonus!

- Grace, May 2021

The owners were wonderful and even let us meet the baby cows, who were so cute! Thank you

- Giles, March 2021
Lesley September 2020

“This was a lovely cottage and very comfortable.”

However I would point out that there are several steep steps up to the garden which would not be suitable for elderly guests. The cottage is on a farm so expect the tractor noise and smells that go with this. Also we had a big problem with flies in the cottage even though it wasn't particularly hot weather. In the cottage itself the loo seat was broken and the shower was cold. Having said all this however we had a lovely restful week and the hot tub was amazing.

- Lesley, September 2020

“Very clean and comfortable cottage in a peaceful location.”

Great location for exploring Carmarthenshire and South Pembrokeshire.

- Philip, September 2020
Jack August 2020

“Exceptional place and the perfect week.”

We will definitely be looking to book again. There was a lovely welcome basket when we arrived and plenty of room for our two dogs, pregnant wife and me. The garden is enclosed to allow our dogs to play in the garden, whilst we enjoyed the hot tub. Its in the perfect location with many places with not a long drive and we visited Tenby and Pembry Country Park. Bombay Spice in St Clears does an amazing Indian takeaway and Florentinos in Carmarthen is a must visit with its Italian food

- Jack, August 2020
Joanne August 2020

“Cottage had everything you needed.”

Clean and comfortable and the hot tub and outside seating area was wonderful. Owners were great and there on hand if you needed anything. The location is beautiful. We loved Tenby and Saundersfoot, both within half an hours drive of the cottage. Excellent stay thank you

- Joanne, August 2020
Meanie February 2020

“It's a lovely cottage it has everything you need wether it's summer or winter.”

I stayed in Feb 2020 with my dog plenty of dog walking places near + dig friendly places to eat + drink. The icing on the cake was the hot tub which I used every evening to unwind then back inside to a lovely log fire

- Meanie, February 2020
Sally February 2020

“Lovely cosy cottage with all the facilities you need.”

Hot tub was great although could have been a bit more private as it is behind a fairly low fence next to where cars are parked and people come and go. A higher fence would be great and would also shield you from the wind. Good central location. Would recommend.

- Sally, February 2020
Rebecca December 2019

“We absolutely loved this cottage for new year, was so peaceful and very relaxing, the farm is lovely views and surroundings, we went to Tenby beach which was only 20 min drive which was beautiful, lovely hamper left with wine by the owners and was happy to help with anything.”

- Rebecca, December 2019
Adele September 2019

“We had a fantastic holiday.”

The cottage was great, provided everything you could want to enjoy your break . Loved the open plan living / kitchen / dining area. The secure garden meant we could enjoy the decking area and the fantastic hot tub whilst our two dogs played safely. Would not hesitate to return .

- Adele, September 2019
James August 2019

“Holiday Cottage was a lovely place to stay, enjoyed the hot tub every evening.”

And there were plenty of places to visit with the family. We loved Tenby and the dog friendly activity park. The only small issue was that everywhere we visited was at least a 30 min drive.

- James, August 2019
Garry July 2019

“People should be aware owners dogs are running free and do approach your property and one dogs barkes every morning.”

At your gate. Also the garden at the rear backed onto a field containing cows. Leaning over into the garden. Not ideal when you bring your own dog away with you. Also a large drop between the garden at the rear and the property could be harmful to any pet.

- Garry, July 2019
Katie May 2019

“We had such a lovely Holiday!”

The cottage was perfect, it had everything we needed to ensure we had a fabulous holiday. The Lloyd family were so friendly and welcoming. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and recommend to others. Thanks for a lovely holiday !

Lynne-marie April 2019

“Wow we had the most amazing holiday, the cottage was home from home with an enclosed garden which was lovely for our two dogs and the children the hot tub was a bonus.”

I loved sitting out on the decking in the morning drinking my coffee listen to all the wild life and cows. Going to book up for next year would highly recommend.

- Lynne-marie, April 2019
Timothy April 2019

“What a cracking find.”

We spent three nights at the location and enjoyed every minuet. The cottage was very clean throughout. The Jacuzzi was such a welcome touch after walking for the day. If you are reading this review you had better get your booking in as we have decided to book again in the near future.

Melissa February 2019

“Would have been nice to have a few added extras such as kitchen roll and a washing up sponge as we had to go out and purchase it.”

Also some things such as the fairy lights outside did not work. The cottage is in a lovely location though and is very well decorated.

- Melissa, February 2019
Sam January 2019

“The place was perfect, the dogs had an enclosed garden and the cottage was perfect for them, my daughter loved her room and ours was very spacious too.”

The surrounds were lovely (on a working farm) but nice a peaceful too!! The surrounding area eg village for food and necessities was spot on and at a good price/ quality. Highly recommend!!! Already got 2 friends booking their stay there after seeing our visit pics etc

“Well our holiday was the best we have had so far!”

We want to say thank you to Haydn and his family for the accommodation and for making it special for us. We arrived to receive a bottle of cold wine, the place was lovely and warm especially needed with a newborn baby! Haydn was more than helpful and said if we needed anything at all just to ask. The place has been completely refurbished and is done to the most amazing standard! Everything is so modern and so relaxing. The cleanliness was also exceptional! The hot tub was our favourite thing in the cottage, it also has a lie down seat which was absolutely amazing and was boiling hot and clean. The accommodation is in the middle of All the activities of west wales and is about half hour away from Tesco and Morrison’s which is a very easy drive. Don’t be put off with it being on a working farm we could literally hear nothing just peace and quiet no matter what time of day it was! They are very dog friendly and accommodate well for your pet there is a lovely walk just down by the cottage! We honestly can’t thank Haydn enough for everything. Hopefully we will be back in the summer or we will definitely be with you in the winter :) Kirsty, Nick, Oscar, Ella and Lunar dog.

The property

St.Clears 4 miles.

Situated on the owners' working livestock farm, this charming St. Clears holiday cottage is ideal for a couple or a small family to enjoy a tranquil break.

As soon as you spot the bright and cheerful daffodils on the wrought iron gates, you will feel the warm Welsh welcome at the start of your relaxing holiday.

The open plan living space at this St. Clears cottage means everyone can be involved with cooking some scrumptious meals, enjoying them together before relaxing in front of the TV, and the cosy bedrooms beckon for a good nights sleep.

The enclosed patio is a delightful sunny spot to sit on warmer evenings at your holiday home in St. Clears, reflecting on your days out or having a quiet cuppa in the morning before the days activities.

Set next to the owners' home, on a livestock farm and yet away from the actual farm buildings, you can enjoy the sounds of birds overhead and animals in the surrounding fields.

A leisure centre with sauna, hot tub and swimming pool is only two miles away, plus sandy beaches, historic castles, the famous Dylan Thomas boathouse in Laugharne, shops, steam railway rides and so much more are close by.

This St. Clears cottage will provide one of your most memorable getaways to date.
