September 2020

“Made to feel very welcome ideal for dog, great walking beaches near -by.”

Very stress free holiday.

Very stress free holiday.

- Mr Jaques, September 2020
Mr Giffin September 2020

“We were a little concerned with regard to the cleanliness of the property when we arrived in view of the current covid 19 requirements, particularly in respect of the bathroom.”

The cottage was very quiet and peaceful, and enabled us to access all the places we chose to visit and was easily accessible from the main A40, which did seem a little hairy when joining it to travel east especially. All in all we had a wonderful holiday, which helped in what has been a very difficult year.

- Mr Giffin, September 2020
Mr Leigh September 2020

“I telephoned as requested two days prior when the owner gave me some extra directions so as not to miss the cottage, which was good.”

When we arrived she greeted us and there was some milk and welsh cakes left for us. She did ask if we needed extra pillows which she went and got immediately. We were out in the garden having a cup of tea when her husband came out - they live next door - to greet us and gave us some information about places to visit. We took up his suggestions and were not disappointed! A most comfortable vacation with some lovely views.

- Mr Leigh, September 2020
Mrs Waite August 2020

“Absolutely perfect holiday experience, it was our first time away with our dog Louie and it couldn’t have been more perfect.”

The hosts were lovely and the cottage is situated in their beautiful grounds with fencing all around so that dogs could play and run around safely. The location is perfect for exploring the nearby coastline and countryside, our dog was exhausted by the end of everyday! We would definitely recommend a visit and plan to go again ourselves. The owners dogs are absolutely adorable and very friendly and the cottage is well equipped, clean and cozy.

- Mrs Waite, August 2020
Mrs Yearling August 2020

Mr Fox July 2020

“Sylvia, Bruce and the dogs were fantastic, made us feel very welcome.”

Gave us advice on dog friendly beach's. Even let Bailey out in their garden to play with Bingo & Jessie. Stay here, you won't regret it. Thanks again Russell, Claire & Bailey

- Mr Fox, July 2020
Mrs Latham July 2020

“Weve just got back from an mazing week at cwtch cowin cottage.”

The hosts were a lovely couple and made use and our two dogs very welcome. They advised us on places to visit and where we good for dogs. It is in a very good location, but also away from everything. The cottage itself was plenty big enough for us with 2 labradors aswell. Plus it had everything you needed. The gardens were just perfect. So peaceful on an evening and watching the birds. We will definitely be back.

- Mrs Latham, July 2020
Mrs Stanford October 2019

“A small but a little dated annex to the main house.”

Just what we needed to chill out and relax. It had everything we needed even dog bowls and a dog bed. It was nice to just sit and look out at the owners lovely garden and beyond- not forgetting the birds on the bird feeders. Despite the rain, we had a full 5 days visiting the local area. The local pub was close by but not really walkable as the road is quite busy and has no pavements. The owners - Sylvia and Bruce were very nice - the dog Bingo came to fence every morning and barked for a biscuit - most amusing - no alarm clock required. All in all - I would highly recommend Cwtch Cowin.

- Mrs Stanford, October 2019
Ms Ingram October 2019

- Ms Ingram, October 2019
Mr Stacey September 2019

“A wonderful cottage and extremely nice hosts, Sylvia & Bruce.”

Well laid out for disabled people. We did find the bed a bit uncomfortable and a bit low, as was the settee. A good base for exploring, and great for taking your dogs away with you. Sylvia kindly looked after out two dogs, whilst we went out for the day, THANK YOU. All in all, a lovely break, and hope to return in the future.

- Mr Stacey, September 2019

Mrs Harris May 2019

“We were amazed.”

We knew the cottage had disability access but surprised at how much it had. The views was wonderful (even though it was raining 5 days out of 7). The place itself was in the centre of nature walks, shopping, coastal areas and many more! The owners had a dog boarding facility the dogs was great!! And Sylvia and Bruce are really nice and helpful couple. Thank you

- Mrs Cole, May 2019
Mrs Fenwick May 2019

“The property is an annexe to the owners home.”

It is small but two of us ( my husband not very mobile) plus our Irish Terrier had plenty of room. A contained garden for your dog or you can arrange to let your dog in the large garden with any boarded dogs at the time. The owners are friendly, helpful and on hand to give any advice on places to go, we ordered a hired mobility scooter to be delivered to the property which was there before we arrived. The village shop is well stocked, fresh bread, eggs etc and the pub is friendly and you can eat in the bar with your dog, food is very good. Lots of beautiful beaches a short drive away, all had big areas which allowed dogs on even though we were there after the 1st May. We would definitely stay here again. Well worth the 310 mile drive from Yorkshire

- Mrs Fenwick, May 2019
Dr Watson April 2019

“The hosts were very welcoming and exceptionally well geared to dogs, from the dog bed (always a bulky thing to pack) to throws and a pot of dog biscuits too.”

They even offer dog sitting so you can enjoy a day out without your furry friends. The cottage was as described, clean and comfortable, and in a good location. We were lucky enough to enjoy warm sunshine during our stay, which was perfect.

Hosts very friendly and very informative of places to visit. Plenty of info in the living room if you don't know the area too well. Dog friendly pub just down the road , good location for visiting Pendine, Saundersfoot , Tenby etc.

- BOXERDOGNAZ, August 2018

Mr Wilson March 2018

“The owners are really friendly and nothing too much trouble.”

The cottage is ideal for anyone with a dog, as the owners are dog people and they took an interest in my dog, which is the main reason I went back to this cottage(Third time now). Everything was in the cottage, well equipped, totally spotless and clean. Hugh garden to let the dogs run around, pub about 3/4 of a mile up the road, as well as shop(Be careful, some of the walk is on a road with no footpath). About 15 minutes in the car from the beach and main supermarket. I would recommend this cottage. I look forward to making a return visit. Thank you both for yet another stay. Alan, Stratford on Avon. UK.

“Mrs”

Well we had a fabulous Easter break at Cwtch Cottage home from home, very dog friendly everything catered for bed, water bowls, blankets, treats secured garden. Oh & the adults had just about everything we have never stayed in such a well equipped self catering place before. Sylvia & Bruce the owners were so friendly Sylvia took us to a lovely beach on the first day so we could get our bearings (we followed in our car). We have come back home feeling very relaxed the cottage is in a great position to explore without having to travel miles lovely walks & beeches. The village pub "Fox & Hounds" made us feel very welcome we had 4 lovely meals there. We have found a little gem.

Jumoff September 2015

“A "doggy paradise"”

We spent a week in this charming picturesque cottage and felt we really had had a holiday Cleanliness and decor was excellent. Every possible need was catered for ( there was even a tic remover!!) We had good weather all week. The village location was pretty central for our needs, yet it was very peaceful. We have 2 dogs and they enjoyed their runaround in a very large grassy, secure garden. The owners were very warm and welcoming, and we felt at home straight away. Our intention is to return next year We would highly recommend this holiday haven ( but not on the weeks that we want please!!)

- Jumoff, September 2015
Ms Bennett May 2015

A tidy, comfortable, pet friendly, welcoming place to stay. The owners are friendly and helpful and full of local knowledge. Set in beautiful countryside within walking distance of a pleasant friendly village with a warm welcoming pub/restaurant that serves great food.

- Mrs Peddie, August 2013
Ms Welton August 2013

“The cottage was to a very high standard and the owners were very welcoming.”

I have two dogs and there was plenty of garden for them to run and the owners allowed them to run on the land with their dogs as well. Even though it's built on the main house it's very much an independent building with a separate utility for use with cottage which meant that there was absolutely everything you could need for a long or short stay. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with a beautiful view, especially if you have dogs.

- Ms Welton, August 2013
Mr Blackman May 2013

About the location

BANCYFELIN

Carmarthen 6 miles.

The village of Bancyfelin is set in beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside and with easy access off the main A40 road to West Wales. The village shop with Post Office is well stocked for all essentials and there's also a family-run pub. Traffic is usually limited to people living in or visiting this scattered village but a few times a year there are busy days when the local Grasstrack Club hold their race meetings, offering a great day out and something a bit different. Located mid way between St. Clears and Carmarthen it's a perfect base for varied shopping and visits to the cinema, Merlin’s Centre and a steam railway ride. A day or evening at the horse racing at Ffos Las where races are held all year are great fun or why not enjoy the magnificent Welsh coastline, offering stunning views of the area. With theme parks, zoos, an array of golf courses and intriguing castles, mills and craft centres in each direction this is a wonderful base for a perfect holiday.
