Llandovery 4 miles.
North Cottage is a plush cottage resting in the village of Myddfai near Llandovery, in Carmarthenshire.
Perfect for couples, friends and families seeking a unique break, this abode is part of King Charles's former Welsh estate, boasting lovely formal garden vistas and a toasty open fire.
Set within the wider Llwynywermod estate, North Cottage occupies a quietly privileged position within land long associated with the Duchy of Cornwall, its story shaped by centuries of careful stewardship and royal connection.
The surrounding landscape carries echoes of an earlier Wales, with estate grounds once held by families connected to Tudor history and shaped into a formal country setting that continues to define the atmosphere today.
Greenery frames the approach, with the cottage enjoying views across a walled garden that brings a sense of structure and calm to the outdoor space.
Entry is made directly into the kitchen, where old, characterful doors hint at the building’s past, while wooden worktops provide a warm and practical space for everyday cooking.
A nearby cloakroom offers welcome convenience after time spent outdoors.
Beyond the kitchen, the living and dining room opens into a notably grand space, defined by tiled flooring, generous proportions and an open fire that anchors the room.
Sofas and armchairs are arranged for relaxed gatherings, while the dining table sits comfortably within the space, making it ideal for shared meals and long, unhurried evenings.
Doors lead out to the surrounding grounds, where well‑manicured formal gardens extend the living space outdoors and invite quiet moments among the estate’s carefully maintained greenery.
Upstairs, hessian flooring lines the stairs and continues into the bedrooms, adding texture and a sense of cohesion throughout the upper floor.
One twin bedroom features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and can be arranged as a king‑size bed on request, while the second twin provides an equally welcoming space, offering flexibility for families or groups.
The family bathroom includes a walk‑in rainfall shower, creating a thoughtfully finished space for the day’s routines.
The super‑king‑size bedroom offers a more private retreat, complete with its own en‑suite rainfall shower and a peaceful outlook across the estate.
Beyond the cottage, the estate opens out into a living landscape of wildflower meadows, traditionally managed farmland and gentle woodland walks, all cared for without the use of pesticides and guided instead by long‑established, nature‑led practices.
Guests are welcome to explore the estate’s walled garden, including its conservatory and separate sun room, while optional experiences such as yoga, reiki, foraging and guided walks reflect the estate’s softly holistic approach to life on the land.
A shop and pub can also be reached with ease, offering a simple balance between seclusion and everyday comforts.
North Cottage offers an elegant and characterful way to experience the heritage, landscape and enduring calm of the Llwynywermod estate.
