  • "An absolutely wonderful, fantastic, amazing cottage with beautiful views all around."

    Dawn, our host had left a lovely welcome hamper of goodies, which was just what we needed after a long stressful day on our arrival day. The cottage is by far the best I've ever been in. All furnishings were a very high standard. There was everything you could need, dishwasher tablets, cloths, condiments, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There were even some bath salts, bath cubes and antibacterial hand wash. Perfect for guests with limited mobility as it is all on one level. There are chairs in both the back and front gardens, so you can relax and take in the view. Highly recommended and would definitely return. If you're looking for a day trip out, I'd recommend a Dolphin spotting trip at Cardigan Bay.

    recently refurbished to a very high standard. Generous welcome pack. Guestbook indicates several people have stayed here multiple times, and I can understand why. Convenient for Welsh Botanical garden and the bird of prey centre there. The Fountain Inn at Pontarddulais is a great place for a meal. Very quiet location. Adequate & reliable speed on internet. Beds are comfortable. If we ever holiday in this area again this would be our first choice of accommodation.

  • "We stayed at Yr Hen Ffald over the Christmas break, originally booking for 7 nights, which we increased to 12, then further to 16 nights as we just couldn't tear ourselves away!"

    From the moment we stepped in through the front door and met our host, Dawn, we could feel the warmth and welcome of this very special home. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, very spacious, and above all else, sparkling clean. The cupboards were filled with everything you could possibly need during your stay from clean towels and bedding, to having all the kitchen utensils you'd have in your own home. You're also guaranteed a good night's sleep in your tranquil surroundings; despite only being a stone's throw from the M4 there is no traffic noise whatsoever, you're just surrounded by lush green fields where mornings are welcomed with the most beautiful sunrises and the days close with sunsets befitting of oil paintings (should you of course be lucky with the weather). There was a beautiful welcome basket on arrival piled high with goodies and being Christmastime, every room had been tastefully decorated, oozing festive charm. We will definitely be booking ahead for Christmas next year with undoubtedly a good few trips in between as I'm sure it will be wonderful to experience the changing of the seasons in this stunning location. 5* go to Dawn and Brian for their hospitality; living not too far away themselves they were only too happy to help should we have needed anything, which we didn't during our stay as it was perfect, but even so it was just nice to see Dawn's smiling face now and again when she'd visit to prepare the neighbouring property, a converted barn which they also rent as a holiday let (Ysgubor Hir). There were probably three different families staying there during our stay, but there was no disturbance whatsoever and we still felt as though we were the only ones there. We cannot recommend this property highly enough! Dawn a Brian, diolch yn fawr am eich caredigrwydd. Gobeithio eich gweld chi yn fuan iawn. Mags a Paul.

Welcome pack with milk and food was very much appreciated and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

The property

A brick built cottage outside the town of Pontarddulais in South Wales.

A newly refurbished cottage with oak furnishings, spacious rooms and a snooker table make it the ideal place for a relaxing family break.

Note: This cottage can be booked with Ref. 16482, together they sleep 12.

Pontarddulais Cottages

A couple of beautifully decorated, spacious cottages in a rural location near the bustling town of Pontarddulais in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. With Ysgobur Hir being a fantastic barn conversion, Yr Hen Ffaldd follows in its stylish, charming footsteps with plenty of oak furnishings and modern equipment. Two of the more well-presented cottages that we have, accompanied with panoramic views, these two cottages come with spacious rooms, modern and well-equipped kitchens, large, bright bedrooms with plenty of storage and delightful outside areas. Despite being in such a rural, tranquil location, this pair of cottages come nearby a lot of thriving, bustling locations. The nearest town being Pontarddulais, a busy town with a good range of amenities within a short drive. The popular city of Swansea is also nearby, offering fantastic shopping facilities as well as a lot of other activities.
