“We liked Brittania Cottages but think we should have been told that it was on a busy main road, which coming from traffic filled London ,was not ideal.”

The seating in the sitting room is not ideal for three adults -an L shaped banquette covered with cushions- and it felt a bit like sitting all in a row on a plane. I I would have welcomed an additional comfortable armchair (plenty of room ) which would have made a big difference. Also a cafetière as we are coffee drinkers.

“The cottage was well appointed, very clean and with a super helpful host who was very responsive.”

It had everything we needed for a lovely week away, and we really made the most of the garden and the stunning views. The bed in the main bedroom was one of the comfiest I’ve stayed in a rental. Great pubs nearby too. Downside is the road can be a bit noisy in the mornings, but it didn’t bother us. Parking is a bit quirky- it’s on the pavement/bit of road to the side of house, but again it didn’t bother us and was no problem. Highly recommend a break here, we will be back.

“Parking available for this property was not ideal, especially on arrival as the advised space was on a busy main road and since the property was set back from the road, it was far from obvious even with accurate satnav and also relied on no other vehicle being there first.”

Other available parking was also tricky. That said, the property was comfortable and well-equipped and we had no issues with the accommodation, (though I could see what other visitors meant about access to the garden). The surrounding area was lovely with plenty to do and see and easy to access.

“The cottage was clean and comfortable, well-appointed and we appreciated the garden too.”

We were able to park nearby. We would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area. It was a pleasant place to return to after a busy day.

“The cottage was very modern and well put together.”

I usually clean any places we stay regardless do Covid but this did not need any cleaning as it was spotless. Information about cleaning and general information regarding cottage was left clearly available. Contact with owner Lynne was excellent, there was end a card and bottle of Lambrini left for us as it was our anniversary, lovely touch. The fridge had some milk left for our use and teabags and coffee available. The only negative would be lack of a hairdryer (unless I missed it).

“The cottage was very clean, comfortable and warm and the hostess very welcoming.”

Only two issues, parking and access to the garden. The only parking was partly pulled off the main road near the property or in front of an empty shop on the other side of the main road. This meant carrying everything over the road as we felt this option was preferable. There was a picture on your website of access to the garden but it was not clear until we got there that this is was the picture was of. It was just stone steps and you could not see where they led to.We didn't know why the shot was included until we arrived. The stone steps were uneven with no hand rail. My husband has a balance problem and can be unsteady on his feet and so was not able to use the garden at all. This was a pity as we were extremely lucky with the weather and it would have nice to enjoy the evening sunshine there..

“The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable.”

If anything, it was undersold in the information described. Great location, really helpful and friendly owners. Would return in a shot!

“Britannia cottage was very clean and comfortable, Everything was supplied that made it a home from home.”

It was a shame that we didn't get the change to enjoy the garden as it would have been a nice place to sit in the evening. Great location for exploring the area and the great walking locally made not having to always be in the car a bonus. The Botanical gardens are a great day out as are the Wetlands. The Millennium walk way is a must for the walk to Burry Port.

“This is a lovely cottage.”

It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is great - very near to Pembrey Country Park and Burry Port. Good pubs serving good food only a couple of minutes walk. Excellent and would recommend.

“We had a good time.”

One of the local pubs were selling fish and chips to take away . They charged over £8 each and when we got back to the cottage it was fish from a packet. We were really disappointed with this. But other food locally was good. Bike rides were brilliant locally and felt safe not having to go on the roads alot.
