Cwtch Ar Y Mor

I am still awaiting a response from Sykes having raised a complaint about this property.

Donna was very good at communicating, she kindly let us into the accommodation early and was very responsive to a request for a replacement light bulb. The house is well situated opposite an excellent play area which our grand daughter enjoyed and was within walking distance of shops, restaurants and beaches. However, the house itself is tired and badly maintained, there was very little information about the house (eg recycling, heating etc) and whilst a welcome pack isn’t essential the lack of hand soap, washing up sponges and toilet rolls felt mean. Going back through all the reviews, all of the issues we had have been mentioned before but obviously not addressed (hence my complaint to Sykes). These include: the bath appears not to have been available for years, the bedroom doors catch on the carpet so they don’t open and close easily, the TV is too high, the sofa is very uncomfortable. In addition the non stick pans were peeling, several window catches were broken, the exterior doors didn’t open and close properly, the lock on the upstairs toilet was so stiff it was unusable, there was peeling paper, the hot tub had rust patches and the area it was in needed a good clean. One of the steps onto the ‘lawn’ was loose and dangerous. The house really needs some TLC and most of the issues could be fixed really easily but I do wonder what is the point of these reviews if they aren’t addressed.

A clean and very comfortable 'home for the week' with an extremely helpful owner and the added luxury of a hot tub.

We found absolutely everything we needed at this property and slept really well in this quiet house. Close to the town for take-aways/shopping. Lots and lots of walking in the area and close to the beaches.

We had a lovely time thankyou both.

House was lovely and homely. Garden was great for the dogs. Did nt use hot tub weather felt to cold. But tub looks great. Beach was not far to walk to my dogs love it . Thanks Tina and Tim .

We had a great week here.

Near to the shops and train station and the beach is 10 minutes away. The area is very quiet and there is on street parking outside. There is an enclosed garden so it’s safe to let the dog out. The hot tub and the wet room are a great addition, we stayed in November so the hot tub use was limited to an hour on the only fine morning we had, however it was still a nice option to have. The shower is nicely located to use before and after the hot tub. We when stayed the bath was not available however there is a shower so that didn’t matter much to us. The owner was great at keeping in touch and was very friendly.

The house was really well located and super clean.

It had everything we needed and I would definitely stay here again. Donna was really responsive to queries. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

We have been returning to Cwtch Ar Y Mor for several years.

It offers excellent warm and comfortable family accommodation with everything we need. My two grandchildren and the dogs love it. Local pubs, restaurants and convenience shops we have used are all good, and it is only a short drive to a supermarket. The local play parks for children are clean and in good condition. The dog friendly beach is clean and sandy and the walk only takes about 15 minutes, much of the walk is traffic free. We enjoyed Crazy Crepes restaurant on beach visits which caters for families and dog owners. We enjoy Cwtch Ar Y Mor in every season, my next task is to book a 2026 visit. David.

Absolutely perfect place to stay for us with 2 young children and 2 dogs, hot tub was a huge plus!

Burry port is a nice quiet place with a huge sandy beach, we were also big fans of Pembrey Country Park just up the road and would recommend for anyone else travelling with children/dogs

home from home comfort

Lovely clean property we had everything we needed.

Easy to park. Shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants/takeaways and harbour all within walking distance. We took two dogs that enjoyed the enclosed garden. The owners made contact for key information and made it known that if we needed anything to contact them. We would definitely go back to this property and Burry Port.

This was our third stay at the Cwtch.

This is excellent value for money family accommodation ideally suited to our needs and all family members love it. Especially the hot tub. The nearby beach, dog walking opportunities, play parks, pubs, shops all on the doorstep. Trains and buses, several every hour (fewer on Sundays). Bus and train stations are not even a ten minute walk away from the Cwtch. The friendliness of the local people is also noticeable and much appreciated. Car parking at the Cwtch is excellent as well. We hope to return next year. David.

Lovely well situated property, close to all amenities

The tv doesn't work when weather not good bad Internet connection.

BBC channel news is London most bizarre. Otherwise very clean and comfortable. Would stay again. Perfect position for beach and shops. Nice outlook. Off street parking not a problem, as your at the end.

Great location.

Walking distance to beach or driving if you prefer. Plenty of nice places to eat or get takeaways. Dad loved relaxing in the hot tub most evenings. Donna very helpful . Unable to access all tv channels unless via free view / apps. No bbc 1 unless through app. Would not stop me booking again. Artificial grass did have a funny aroma to this. We were very lucky with weather.

A really great week was had by all (including the dogs) garden totally secure for Leo & Juanita.

Downstairs shower room a big bonus. The hot tub so relaxing. A big thank you to Donna and her team for making the property as comfortable as possible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This is our second stay here and we will be staying here again so ithink that says it all

This is our 2nd stay at the Cwtch this year.

Ideal family accommodation with hot tub and everything we needed for six of us; grandparents, parents and children. Excellent hosts. Our 2 dogs loved the Cwtch. Superb location a 15 minute walk from the dog-friendly beach. Nearby shops, pubs, cafes, restaurants and takeaways that we used were all good, many dog-friendly. The Cwtch is only 5 minute's walk from the train station with trains via Swansea and Cardiff to London and Manchester, and many other destinations without changing trains. Easy access from nearby Llanelli for the scenic 120 mile Heart of Wales railway line. Good hourly bus services to Swansea and Carmarthen. We will return next year! David.

Perfect for our 2 dogs and my partner an i.

Hosts were amazing and helped with a few issues we had. Only downside was the bathroom upstairs wasnt usable for a bath but alternative shower room downstairs was perfect

I had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the walks.

The house has everything needed, it’s spacious and I liked the enclosed garden for the dogs. The Beach is a ten minute walk. Shops/eateries are five minutes away. The only downside really was the hot-tub didn’t work, it was supposed ro be fixed whilst I was there but wasn’t - I assume the part was delayed. The hosts have promised a small refund to offset this. Would recommend for singles, couples and families Thank you Donna

Nice location, great hot tub .

Well equipped with everything you need ( not all mentioned in advert) . TV to high on wall causing neck pain. More attention to detail needed on cleaning ( cobwebs, hob, fridge , stairs) lovely downstairs shower room not shown in pics.

Looking back on my holiday at Cwtch ar y mor was a big catch.

On entering the property the appearance was appalling,it needed maintainance.I spent £831 pounds for a week stay which wasn't worth it. The inside of the property was homely except for the beds which were very uncomfortable and squeaky. The sofa was also a big let down. (tough like board) I booked the home because of the hot tub because I thought it could be of remedy to my body. The area where the tub sits needed proper cleaning as the window and area was all gross from build up moulds.The tub was full of too much chlorine that makes us ill.Only been in hot tub twice. It was pointed out to me that the tub would be half emptied then topped up again with chlorine for next visitors,makes me wonder.The owner was quite nice though. Future reference, I would visit again not at that price and only if owners do a proper entry clean up, fully drained tub and keep the tub area mould free. Good property,quite area and friendly people.

lovely place to stay lovely surrounding area my inly suggestion would be to get either a draining board or dish cloth for ease after washing up

Our second visit here lovely walks beach's .

property has everthing you could wish for +bonus the hot tub will be returning next year

I enjoyed the stay, the property could do with better cooking equipment as it was catering for 6.

no frying pan although there was a saute pan. We took our own air fryer, it may be it something that could be added in the future. I could not find a house hand book explaining rubbish recycling days and expectations of local council (but i may have over looked it). we were warned about the bath not a problem as shower was good. Garden steps where difficult for my elderly mother. a handrail would have made this easier and safer. the garden was great for the dogs and they loved it. my wife appeared to have moved in to the hot tub for the duration of the holiday - so I can honestly say it was brilliant. The estate is really nice and people are very friendly. loads of places to walk dogs they appear welcome everywhere. The area by lifeboat station has beautiful views. easy access to shops, takeaways and if no car a train station. would recommend

Lovely clean home.

Lovely area.

Very happy with the property.

Lovely place to stay very clean, comfortable and the hot tub was really nice.

The pubs are cheap especially the portobello Inn at £2.50 a pint!!!! Highly recommended for a quiet weekend away.

Nice house, nice location but downstairs shower room is a big letdown

Spotlessly clean, good linen and towels Great hot tub.

Good Wi-Fi Beds very noisy and uncomfortable Bath out of action ( one reason for choice as on a sports week) Had to replace bulb in 3rd bedroom as blown. Position of bunk bed blocks access to light switch. Difficult to open and close doors as carpet prevents quiet opening and closing. Sofa uncomfortable. Great size of tv too close to watch it! Clean kitchen. Inadequate sizes of pans to cook, fridge small and only a freezer compartment in fridge.Had to purchase large pan and oven dish to cater for six adults. Only a 40 cm oven. No door on kitchen, unable to contain cooking smells. Vacuum cleaner had no suction Washing line broken. Broken chair in garden. No outdoor crockery even though good table and chairs outside. NO WELCOME PACK ALTHOUGH ADVERTISED.

Great location and a good property to stay with family to enjoy South Wales.

Property itself has everything as described, but the knives (as mentioned before) definitely need upgrading. We ended up buying one at Morrisons nearby. Definitely having bigger fridge would be beneficial so you can properly stock up and avoid unnecessary trip to the supermarket. Very good communication with the owners. Hopefully will be back again!

Lovely stay walks beaches shops all within walking distance bonus the hot tub

Lovely property, which has clearly been lovingly decorated by someone with very good taste!

There was everything in the house that we needed during our stay, even a cafetiere(couldn't find a potato peeler though). The beds were very comfy and having the Fire connected to the TV, was great. The hot tub was a real bonus and we used it every day. The wet room and access to the side door was a bonus for cleaning our dog's paws before coming into the house after our walks and we also used the stair gate to stop the dog going upstairs, which was super helpful! Great location for the local amenities and the beach is dog friendly, which was why we chose Burry Port to stay. The house was a perfect size for a family of four and a dog!

Had a lovely stay here.

Would definitely stay again. Did find random hair around the place, but was no big issue. Bath looked a little unclean so didn’t bother using. Hoover needs replacing as the suction doesn’t work well at all, Knives aren’t sharp and need replacing also, very difficult to cut with, I would perhaps bring my own next time with keeping this in mind. Pans to cook with aren’t non stick, they do thankfully clean up easy though. However it was a lovely little break. close to shops and beach. About 20 minutes drive if you want Asda etc or premier shop literally 3 minutes walk just at the bottom of the road, dog friendly area including pubs. Local takeaways are great too if you fancy a one off from cooking. Park just across the road. Honestly besides the few little things that need looking at (don’t let that put you off) it is a lovely place and I would definitely book again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Had a lovely stay at this home from home residence.

House was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Great location for driving to surrounding areas. Beach well within walking distance

We absolutely loved this place, very clean, close to all local amenities and the dogs adored the beach.

We stayed for a week and didn't want to leave. I would like to point out to future visitors that there is only a fridge with a freezer compartment, so don't bring lots of frozen food with you. The owners were fantastic, any questions answered quickly and comprehensively. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Everything at Cwtch Ar Y Mor was fantastic.

Landlord was very friendly and even provided us a Christmas tree, lightings and decorations as we stayed over the Christmas period. It would be nice if the electric shower had a bit more power in it :-). We did not complain as it was not an issue, it was just a suggestion to improve.

Lovely owners, very helpful and lovely stay in the property

Lovely location minutes from the beach accommodation was excellent nice and warm and very clean good to have side doors so we didn’t have to take the dogs straight though the main accommodation

We had a lovely stay at this holiday home.

The hose was clean but basic. We were meant to have 6 of us staying and ended up with just four of us. However there is only enough cups plates cutlery for just 6 people. I tend to cook meals and this meant there were no additional plates or bowls for cooking or putting on the table. There was no potato peeler or potato masher and the knives all need sharpening. There was only the minimum amount of all kitchen utensils. Towels were provided but none were full size bath towels , the biggest size was hand towel size, luckily we brought our own bath sheets. This house was perfect in terms of location, I have mobility problems and it was ideal for me and the minor gripes would not stop us coming again, In fact we will be booking for next year, we just would bring some extras with us.

Lovely property with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms comfortable and having 2 bathrooms is a bonus. Property was v clean and location is perfect for exploring the Millenium coastal path.

It was such a good space for me, my mum and 3 doggies!

Nice peaceful road and area. The two double bedrooms were a good size and it was nice to have the option of bath vs shower. It was well decorated and comfortable throughout. The hot tub was amazing and I loved the lid doubled as a privacy screen. The garden was a good size for the dogs to potter around too. Feedback: need better cutlery and utensils. Plus I don’t know how 3-4+ people would feel in this house. The sofa isn’t very big so I’m not sure how that would work. The beach and harbour is stunning. But big favourite is Pembrey Country Park - 10min drive time! Thank you for the holiday memories!

The house was so spotless and they had left milk bread and other bits for us too.

Perfectly situated for the beach and other days out.

Absolutely brilliant week away.

Would highly recommend and stay again.

Cwtch Ar Y Mor was spotlessly clean which was very important to us.

The property was well furnished and fully met our needs. The location was superb - facing the park with the bowling green directly opposite. The nearest shop was 2 minutes away and visible from the front door. The shops in the centre of Burry Port were only 5 minutes walk. There were many takeaways which made life easy as we didn't want to eat out due to Covid. The harbour and beach were great and within walking distance, although there was plenty of parking if required. Plenty of places to visit :- Pembrey Country park, Parc y Scarlets, Mumbles and the Gower. My first stay in Burry Port for over 50 years and it exceeded expectations.

What a amazing house !

The decor is beautiful Location to beach about 5-10 mins walk Hot tub amazing

Great house in a lovely location.

Good facilities and excellent communication from the owner. Very good welcome pack from the owner, tea, coffee, milk, butter, cakes, wine and flowers! Good access to beaches and local shops. A very enjoyable week but could have done with better weather. Highly recommended.

We had a very enjoyable holiday, the cottage was situated right in the centre of Burryport.

Would highly recommend this property will definitely return. The owners were so kind left us flowers,milk,coffee,tea,butter,bread,treats along with a lovely welcoming card ,what a kind jester to start our holiday. Lovely walks for our dog plus the added benefit of a hot tub.

The cottage was perfect and exactly what we were looking for holiday, we really enjoyed the hot tub.

The facilities were really good and the owners couldn't have been more helpful. The location was a good base for seeing the area. We would highly recommend Cwtch Ar Y Mor and will definitely go back.

Lovely location 5 minutes from every thing to beech and take aways and shops.

Would go back to same property. The country parks are lovely, all easy to get too.

Fantastic house and owners.

So helpful. Went out of their way to help with a WiFi issue. Brought a BBQ for us as the weather was good and were on hand if needed. The house was spotless with everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing! We will definitely think of returning.
