“It was a clean, spacious and well equipped house.”

the only thing we missed is good lighting above the kitchen worktops.

Jacqueline August 2024

“Cottage very cosy, comfortable and clean.”

All facilities very good. Beautiful view, very peaceful. Warm welcome from owners, very friendly. We did find it a bit too rural and didn't realise how far it was from the main road. It worried us that we might meet a tractor on the narrow lane. Luckily we didn't.

- Jacqueline, August 2024
Philip August 2024

“Fourth time at the property and it is still a lovely place to stay, the views are beautiful from the patio and the owners are only across the road if you have any problems.”

A bit off the beaten track but worth it, a little gem of a place. We have already booked for next year, and can’t wait to get back

“We had a very relaxing week at the cottage which is even better than the photos show!”

It is spacious, the views are stunning, as is the wildlife and the Welsh cakes and tea kindly provided are delicious! Mr Mrs Morgan are very helpful hosts. I would also recommend their honey. Llandeilo and area make an excellent base, we would be happy to return.

- Andrew, June 2023
Anthony May 2023

“We had a great weeks stay with fantastic views and weather!”

Our only observation is the What3words code listed was for the farm down the road. We found vessel.buzzards.chuckling more accurate.

- Anthony, May 2023
Helen May 2023

“We had an excellent week at this very comfortable cottage with amazing countryside views.”

We would recommend that the directions to the cottage from the Salem turning inform visitors it is one and a half miles after turning left.

- Helen, May 2023
Tapas April 2023

“We recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming cottage in South Wales, and we couldn't be happier with our experience!”

The cottage was cosy and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. The surrounding countryside was simply breathtaking, and we enjoyed exploring the local area and discovering hidden gems around every corner. The highlight of our stay was definitely the warm and friendly welcome we received from the cottage owners, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. I would highly recommend a cottage holiday in this propertyto anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful setting.

- Tapas, April 2023

Thank you so much for your kind review it was a pleasure to have you all here we hope to welcome you here again sometime Property Owner

Simon November 2022

“A fantastic cottage.”

Opportunity to feel away from everything yet within 10 minutes of a market town with an excellent range of diverse independent shops and cafes. well placed to explore South West Wales and the Brecon Beacons/Black Mountains.

- Simon, November 2022

Ruth August 2022

“This is not a criticism but an observation.”

As we have had very high temperatures this summer it might be beneficial to provide one or two fans at all properties.

- Ruth, August 2022
Lisa July 2022

“A lovely property, fully equipped and with stunning views.”

Friendly and welcoming owners. Very likely to revisit and would most certainly recommend.

- Christopher, June 2022
Gerard June 2022

“An excellent holiday home, equipped with all facilities, located in a rural and quiet area.”

The view from the holiday home is fantastic. The furnishings are complete and the internet worked perfectly. In short, a nice place to stay to explore the area. We, as Dutch people, only missed the coffee maker.

- Gerard, June 2022
Natalie May 2022

“We loved our week away - what a gem!”

The accommodation exceeded our expectations, even though the pictures are great. A very warm welcome from our hosts, with welcome pack and they assembled and made the cot for our baby too - super helpful! Gorgeous location and very quiet. (The sheep are asleep at night). So peaceful. So much to do in the local area - local town Llandeilo is really nice, lots of castles to explore, Beacons on your doorstep, various Gardens to visit. Abergorloch forest and village was great with fab local pub. Lots of other nice eateries and farm shops around too. Gower is only 1 hour drive for a bit further afield. Lots to do in the local area, really great part of Wales.

- Natalie, May 2022

It was a great pleasure to have such nice pleasant people staying at our cottage I hope we shall see them again sometime soon Property Owner
Ronald April 2022

“One of a kind for stunning views, this tranquil cottage is nestled in gentle, rolling countryside.”

Sheep grazed close to the raised patio at the back where a panorama of trees float off into the distance, as far as the eye could see. On good days, the patio is a suntrap ideal for private sunbathing. It is also a great location for a cup of tea or glass of wine. Of the many holiday venues we have ever stayed in, this is the cleanest - right into all the corners. Hot water was plentiful and heating effective. Furniture and beds were comfortable and the rooms were very airy and spacious. There was ample cutlery, crockery and glasses. As we never use a microwave, cooking utensils felt a bit limited. The owners were helpful and careful to respect our privacy. This is a great cottage in a unique location. Highly recommended.

- Ronald, April 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay the views are here always but the cooking utensils are what is usually needed as most people eat out anyway but I'm sure we could have done better if we had realised you wanted more thanks for staying with us Property Owner
Jacqueline October 2021

“The cottage as always is fantastic and the people very good.”

The problem is Sykes. They are very greedy and impersonal. I would not recommend them to my worse enemy!!!!!!

- Jacqueline, October 2021

Thank you for the feedback I'm glad you enjoy the cottage,you'r not the only one to complain about sykes cottage.No matter which side of the fence your on, so we shall have to wait and see if thing's improve or not as the customer is the most important person to us ALWAYS .Thanks again Property Owner
Susan September 2021

“It is down a narrow country lane which suited us fine.”

Very rural

- Susan, September 2021
Stacey July 2021

“Lovely holiday cottage in a fantastic location.”

The cottage had everything we needed and we felt that the photographs actually didn’t do it justice. The kitchen is a great space and we loved the little outdoor area and our little one loved watching the sheep which come right up to the fence. Beautiful views from the deck and we were fortunate with the weather so got to enjoy it. Owners are close enough if you need anything and we’re very friendly. If you’re travelling with a little one there’s a wooden mothercare highchair and a cot although we took our own cot so didn’t use that.

- Stacey, July 2021
Robert July 2021

“Seclusion at it's best, (well just us and a few sheep).”

Cottage is superb, views to match, hosts very helpful. A lovely stay thankyou

- Robert, July 2021
Nick June 2021

“Really good holiday home good facilities, quiet location nice for a relaxing holiday”

- Nick, June 2021
David May 2021

“The owners are very helpful and would recommend the accommodation”

- David, May 2021
Jacqueline May 2021

“The cottage is really beautiful and very comfortable with everything you need in self-catering.”

The only 'complaint' would be that the duvet/bed cover is not warm enough and could be a bit bigger and warmer. A small kitchen knife would also be very useful. Otherwise the cottage is perfect and we will definitely be back to stay a third time.

- Jacqueline, May 2021
Jane April 2021

“Beautifully clean, warm & quiet holiday cottage set in most glorious scenery.”

Friendly owners live opposite but the cottage felt completely private with the best feature being the sunny outdoor terrace. This place has such a good aspect to watch the sun set! We always look for homes that DON’T do pets as we get fed up of all the hype around animals & this was reflected in a very clean & fresh-looking cottage. Yes, the lane in is lengthy, hilly & narrow but worth it for being away from all the hullabaloo! Take your own bath towels ( hand towels & teatowels were provided) & there’s no welcome pack....

- Jane, April 2021
Janet October 2020

“The cottage was perfect in every way, very clean, plenty of space and the kitchen was well equipped.”

The owners were polite, friendly and very helpful. The views from the cottage were stunning . A perfect cottage in a perfect place.

- Janet, October 2020
Jacqueline September 2020

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful with everything we needed.”

The only (very small) complaint on a personal level was that the bed was not as comfortable as we would have liked and we also wish we had taken our own duvet, but otherwise everything else was perfect. We are looking forward to going again next year!

- Jacqueline, September 2020
Philip July 2020

“Friendly owners and an extremely clean cottage.”

We felt welcome, safe and the cottage was the perfect size for us, (2 adults and a teen). We loved sitting on the balcony watching the red kites circling above and it was so peacefully quiet you could hear the sheep chewing the grass! Easy to find and a good central location to get to S.Wales attractions and coast.

- Philip, July 2020
Rosemary March 2020

“A very warm welcome from the owner, plus a lovely welcome pack.”

The cottage was very clean and cosy, with everything catered for. The views were amazing over the countryside. It was situated in a remote area, but for us that was a bonus. Would highly recommend.

- Rosemary, March 2020
Gillian February 2020

“Only a short break for us but very enjoyable in a beautiful and peaceful location.”

- Gillian, February 2020
Wayne October 2019

“This cottage was absolutely brilliant lovely views from balcony area which my 2 daughters loved.”

nice and comfy to come back to after busy days exploring everything you needed. away from everything without being to far from a town all could hear was the river at bottom of the valley nice and peaceful very little traffic due to its location. Definitely recommend this cottage

- Wayne, October 2019
Keith August 2019

“A very comfortable and clean cottage with all of the fittings and facilities needed for a self-catering holiday.”

The owners are friendly and helpful when needed and the location is very rural and peaceful with beautiful views over the valley which is occupied only by sheep and cows. There are local pubs serving excellent food in nearby Salem and Llandeilo and a more upmarket restaurant in Rhosmaen for something a bit special. A very restful and enjoyable holiday and a cottage we would be very happy to return to.

- Keith, August 2019
Stuart August 2019

“Such a peaceful little cottage, the surrounding countryside is beautiful.”

We felt very comfortable during our stay and the cottage was immaculately clean and uncluttered. Pat and Alun, the owners, were across the road if we needed them , and were very welcoming. Plenty of nearby attractions to visit. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Stuart, August 2019
David June 2019

“The cottage is very remote, which we understood and wanted anyway, the views from the patio are out of this world, cottage is comfortable and well equipped, everything you need is provided, we got an Asda delivery with no problems so getting provisions isn't a problem.”

The owners are very welcoming and left us eggs,milk and Welsh cakes on arrival which we thought was lovely. All on all a very beautiful cottage and holiday.

- David, June 2019
Suzanne May 2019

“The cottage was lovely and very remote as in the listing, which we loved.”

Surrounded by sheep and their lambs, in the field right outside the veranda, was a real treat and we even gave names to a few - they were such characters. The cottage owners, Pat and Alan, were very hospitable. We had a lovely, peaceful, relaxing break away from the concrete jungle in which we live. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. We loved it so much, we didn't want to come home and we have already booked up to stay again later in the year.

- Suzanne, May 2019
Wayne April 2019

“Lovely cottage in lovely location with fantastic views from veranda.”

Warm welcome from owners very much appreciated too. Perfect week away. Many thanks.

- Wayne, April 2019
David November 2018

“Very pleasant cottage as described.”

Slightly remote but this meant excellent views. Would stay again.

- David, November 2018
Martin October 2018

“Lovely location in an un-spoilt and "off the beaten track" part of the Brecons with fantastic walking and many castles.”

The cottage is very well equipped and spacious and the view from the patio at the back of the cottage is awesome. The cottage is accessed down some pretty long and narrow roads and you do need to mind your head on the sloping ceilings in the bedrooms and bathroom! Highly recommended.

- Martin, October 2018
Andrew July 2018

“This is a really beautiful cottage in a great location for exploring South Wales.”

The view fron the balcony is something special.

- Andrew, July 2018
Keith June 2018

“Lovely views for miles across the sheep fields, from the windows and secluded patio.”

The cottage is spacious and modern. Narrow roads lead to it's quiet location, but there's no traffic, so no problem. Don't believe the satnav when it says you've arrived - cottage is a little further than that first farm. Plenty to do in the area. Plus Llandeilo, for groceries etc, (and with an easy train service to Swansea etc), is just 3 miles away.

- Keith, June 2018
David May 2018

“The location of the cottage and the hospitality upon arrival and our subsequent departure was second to none.”

The owners are very helpful when required. The views from the cottage are very good and it is highly recommended with good value for the accommodation. We will without doubt try and book a return visit in the future to absorb more of what the area as to offer to the visitors. I felt totally relaxed and rejuvenated from our short break.

- David, May 2018
Michael June 2017

“If you are looking for a little piece of paradise you will find it here.”

A perfect location, fantastic views and yet handy for all the nearby attractions. The photographs do not do justice to what is a superb cottage with the added advantage of a wonderful balcony, where you can sit and watch nature at its best and see the Red Kites visit on a daily basis. We have stayed in many cottages and we rank this as the best ever - in fact we liked it so much we could live here permanently ! You soon get used to the narrow country lanes - it really is a completely different world here where you can escape back to nature. Nearby places to visit - National Botanical Gardens, Dan Yr Ogof caves ,Brynamman Cinema- a delightful cinema built in the 1920s and luxuriously fitted out with latest films at absolute bargain prices,Myddfai,Mumbles and Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen. If you are looking for something a little different then book this cottage you will be amazed at this little gem

- Darren, August 2015
Allan October 2014

“We spent a very enjoyable week in this well-situated, comfortable and well-equipped cottage.”

From an elevated position, it overlooks rolling countryside between Llandeilo and Brechfa. The cottage is furnished to a high standard, is surprisingly spacious, and feels very homely. The owners are very welcoming. The cottage is in a very rural location on a quiet single track road, but is only a short drive away from the small town of Llandeilo.
