  • "Beautiful, quaint cottage in an idyllic setting."

    Cottage had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds. Llandeilo is about a 15 minute drive. Gower beaches, surely some of the best in the UK if not the world, are drivable. All in all, a super holiday.

  • "Second stay at Buzzards Watch."

    Some great little upgrades with new TV and book case unit. New pans and kitchen equipment. It’s a great place to stay. Reliable internet and the TV allows you to access range of apps for streaming. The open fire is fantastic and the wood provided is a lovely gesture as is the Bara Brith. The beds are super comfy and well appointed and the central heating keeps the place warm though it’s always nice having the fire going in the evening. Will certainly be back.

  • "The cottage is situated in a beautiful area with walks close by and the stunning view of the ruined abbey when you step outside the door."

    Inside it is warm and well decorated and the open fire was fantastic. The Christmas tree was a nice bonus and loved it. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of pillows and well appointed. The blackout blinds meant it stayed dark so had a good nights sleep everytime. Was easy to find as well signed on the approach road. Pet friendly and was able to take my dog along and because of where it is lots of great places to take him for a walk just outside the front door. I plan to return next year.

Abbey Cottages

Abbey Cottages comprises four beautiful, stone-built, terraced properties, set in the shadow of a ruined 12th century abbey. Nestled among 23 acres of meadow and hedgerows, beside the shore of Upper Talley Lake, Abbey Cottages offers a tranquil base for friends or families to enjoy the beautiful Welsh countryside, with nearby access to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and the lively market town of Llandeilo. Outside, each cottage benefits from off-road parking and use of the enclosed communal garden. Barbecues are also available. Guests are free to roam the land surrounding the cottages, where you will find the intriguing ruins of Talley Abbey as well as access to the nature reserve lying between Upper and Lower Talley Lake; ideal for fishing, birdwatching or simply relaxing. For the more active-minded, a range of fantastic walking routes through Talley Woodlands lie on the doorstep and the award-winning cycling routes of the Black Mountains are close at hand. Built from the stones of the ruined abbey, after it was destroyed during the time of Henry VIII, the cottages themselves are equipped with an ample range of amenities, including children’s facilities such as highchairs, travel cots and stairgates, as well as a selection of games, providing characterful and homely accommodation for groups of all sizes. In the local area, Talley village offers a shop, The Old Smithy - Yr Hen Efail, within a short walk while the National Trust owned community run Cwmdu Inn is 2 miles away in the picturesque hamlet of Cwmdu. For more amenities, the thriving market town of Llandeilo (recently voted The Best Place to Live in Wales by the Sunday Times) is just 7 miles away, where there is a great selection of shops, pubs, and eateries, as well as Llandyfeisant Church and Dinefwr Castle. Beyond this, the historic county of Carmarthen offers a wide range of attractions, such as Aberglasny Gardens, Fan Gyhirych, Pen y Fan, Cefn Llechid, Castell Carreg Cennen and Garn Goch Y Gaer Fawr. Abbey Cottages is an idyllic group of properties ideal for immersing yourself in the incredible scenery of Carmarthenshire.
