    Anita and Adrian have thought about everything you could possibly want and even the little touches are so thoughtful. One of the best cottages I have ever stayed in bed was so comfortable and the towels lovely and fluffy. Amazing that we could take all 3 dogs and no extra charge.

    I have honestly never stayed anywhere as well equipped as here, everything you might need is provided. There is a games room with a cupboard full of different games and puzzles, a pool table, darts and an outdoor trunk of outdoor games too along with things you can borrow for days out like buckets and spades. The owners have taken such time to collate information about local tourist attractions and have a comprehensive guide for guests with dogs regarding beaches and local walking routes to try. We had a fantastic stay here and highly recommend it.

    Anita and Adrian, the owners of the property, could not have been more welcoming - even making fresh cookies for our arrival! The cottage was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need for our stay (for example, an array of pots and pans for cooking, every imaginable cooking utensil and plenty of crockery.) There is a shared games room between the properties, with a pool table, a darts board and a variety of games available. Out two children made good use of this room. The cottage is in a beautiful location, with a river and a short woodland walk to the side. We've had a lovely, relaxing break and were sad to go home at the end of the stay. We would highly recommend this property.

    In this time of Covid, we hoped to escape to the country, enjoy a different 4 walls whilst staying safe ourselves and keeping others safe. The lengths the owners have gone to to ensure safety are second to none. The cottage was impeccably clean, everything superfluous removed, whilst still being offered as available as long as they had been quarantined (DVD's, maps of the area, brilliant walking guides etc) The kitchen was better equipped than my own, making self catering very easy. The beds were super comfy. Communication with the owners was excellent - on hand if we had enquiries - we didn't know the area at all and they were really helpful in pointing out places to visit - we didn't have enough time to visit them all, so we'll be back!

  • "The cottage was spotless and very comfortable, however, we did not have control of the heating and although the owners lived on site, we did not want to keep asking them at varying times of day and evening to alter the heating for us."

    We did, however, very much enjoy the endless supply of logs. The woodburner was very efficient and easy to use. We would suggest that it would be even better if there were a freezer; even if this was shared with the other cottage, in the laundry room. With the cottage being so far from main shops it would be extremely useful to put loaves of bread and joints of meat in, rather than having to shop more frequently.

    The cottage is beautiful with amazing scenery around it. It was clean and very welcoming hosts upon our late arrival. Freshly baked cookies were a lovely little touch along with tea coffee and milk for us to settle in. The games room was full to the brim of information for us to plan each day and the cottage owners also gave us lots of information when we saw them to help us get the most out of our trip. We had two dogs and a two year old with us and there was plenty for all of them to do keep occupied!! There is a really useful laundry room for you to use and the one night I forgot I had a wash on, I went to sort in the morning to find it had been hung out for me - this was really lovely to be so well looked after and the little touches really did make all the difference. We enjoyed exploring the local areas as well as day trips further away and then Evenings cooking and watching films in the cottage. There is NO phone signal however there is enough WiFi within the cottage for you to google and plan your days so it was absolutely fine. We would 100% recommended this cottage for a family week away. Bring your wellies as the local walks are muddy but beautiful and real fun to splash in muddy puddles !!!!!

These delightful properties are nestled deep in the fabulous wooded valley, alongside the meandering River Sien in the hamlet of Cwmbach (meaning ‘little valley’), 2 miles from Blaenwaun village and only 18 miles from the historic market town of Carmarthen. Individually furnished with style and comfort in mind, they offer light, airy and modern interiors with well-equipped kitchens, and comfy sofas to relax in front of a film or browse on the WiFi. Both properties have access to a shared games room with a pool table and darts board, and access to a shared laundry area.

Carmarthen is 13 miles away, and offers everyday shopping and a selection of independent shops. Why not take a trip to the boathouse in Laugharne the famous home of Dylan Thomas, or visit the harbourside town of Saundersfoot? A perfect pair of countryside cottages, ideal for family, friends or small groups looking to get away in pretty, rural countryside.

About the location

BLAENWAUN

Carmarthen 18 miles; Tenby 26 miles.

Blaenwaun is a pretty little village in the rolling countryside of Carmarthenshire, which boasts a welcoming village pub. It is considered to be one of the highest villages in the West Wales Peninsula and is proud of the fact it used to have the smallest post office in Wales, which is now an exhibit in the National History Museum of Wales, Cardiff. With so many walks criss- crossing the area, you will be able to enjoy the serene tranquillity of the undulating countryside. Alternatively why not visit the village of Crymych, a perfect gateway to the majestic Preseli Hills, home of the blue stones of Stonehenge and part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park? A short drive south opens up the stunning sandy beaches, coves and harbour towns of South Wales.
