    A great cottage with the added bonus of a hot tub and log burner for relaxing evenings after long walks. Great location to explore. Thank you.

  • "My family had a lovely stay at Taf Cottage in a lovely part of Wales."

    The cottage was cosy with a lovely hot tub and logs were provided for the fire which we enjoyed on a few chilly nights. There is a swimming pool at the owners house for a charge per person which was well worth it lovely and warm and private for your party. We didn't want to leave but hope to return again. Lovely meeting Muriel an amazing person who keeps the whole complex to a high standard and looks after her guests.

    The cottage had all you needed for a holiday cottage, was comfortable and spotless. It was very private and quiet even though there are other cottages adjacent. It was lovely to sit in the hot tub and enjoy the peaceful countryside. The cottage was a great base for exploring the area, only around 15 minutes from either Llandeilo or Camarthen which had plenty to offer. Diolch o galon Muriel am bopeth.

    The cottage had the bare basics that we required as a base to sleep, whilst spending the days out exploring. The hot tub was nice. The WiFi didn’t work for the first 2 days but this was rectified on the second night. The cottage is in a lovely area of Wales, so it was beautifully quiet.

  • "Muriel was such a warm and welcoming host."

    The cottage was set up so neatly for a nice, warm, cosy weekend. The cottage is set in a picturesque field with no distractions and loud noises around- only chirpy birds and the odd call from grazing sheep. We really enjoyed lazing in the hot tub on our second day when it was too cold and rainy to venture outside. Muriel had left behind some logs and so we were able to light up a fire at night...not something we are used to but was a novel experience. Overall we enjoyed our stay deeply! It was a much needed break from the hustle of the city and we are back feeling rejuvenated. We will definitely make plans to visit again. Thank you Muriel for your warmth and kindness.

    The cottage was comfortable and clean. The pillows on the beds were amazing. I slept better than at home! My only complaint is that the pictures showed a bath but there was only showers. This was a bit difficult as my autistic child hates showers. Otherwise great stay.

    The cottage was ideal for 5 of us (6 would fit & live easily in it). Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. The hot tub was a bonus!! A good base for investigating the area which has some lovely drives (except the 2 miles of farm track necessary to reach the cottage). with houses & gardens to visit within easy reach. LLandeilo is probably charming when the weather's fine!!!

    Beautiful location. Peaceful...(till we got there) We had such a relaxing time and were lovely and warm . I need a walker to get about and the cottage is fully accessible, though a wheelchair might have a bit of a problem cos of some tight corners....please check. I think I mentioned last time that , being picky, I felt the pillows were a bit thin.....and this time, brand new lovely bouncy pillows. Really comfy beds and sofa. Great warm welcome.Thank you. One of our party said they wanted a bigger frying pan....but we are little piggies with our trotters in the trough much of the time....so you will probably find it all adequate.

  • "Lovely stay at Taf cottage with the extended family."

    Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped (under counter fridge with ice box a little small but manageable) and the hot tub was excellent. There’s a new walk-in shower in the main bathroom (replaced the bath in photos) which was a nice surprise and not an issue as we’d brought a baby bath with us. Muriel was very welcoming, kindly leaving us some wine and an Easter egg on arrival and was very helpful during our stay, with recommendations of places to visit and walks with the dog. We would recommend Brechfa forest walks, although the roads to the Keeper’s car park are very narrow! Aberglasney gardens are well worth a visit and the National Botanical gardens were also good, providing a week long ticket so you could revisit. The cottage is situated about 8 minutes from the A40, in peaceful countryside, so would recommend bringing key food supplies with you when you arrive. We found a good range of supermarkets in Carmarthen about 20 mins away. Lovely restful break with easy access to some stunning beaches about 30 mins away.

    You really are in the countryside, feels like middle of nowhere but a 15 min drive down the lanes takes you to a pub. Cottage is on a small farm, no road noise or light pollution. You share a courtyard with a few other rentals but we didn't see anyone else and the whole location is very quiet and relaxing. Lucky enough to have clear night for star gazing from the hot tub. Comfortable cottage and well equipped. Friendly owner who texted us to make sure we were all OK! One downside is the hot tub is on view of farm buildings, which were in use in the day. Would benefit from a screen or little fence. We had a relaxing and peaceful stay. Would recommend and would return.

    Somuch so that all of our belongings still have a musty smell to them. Also there were so many mosquitoes indoors ( which might have been caused by the damp) we got bit so many times that by the Tuesday night we’d made our minds up that we would go home.The bad weather coming in was also contributory but not the prime reason as we understand the weather cannot be guaranteed! The towels were starting to smell (despite having taken our own for the hot tub) as we were not given any hand towels. The lane approaching the cottage was very narrow and we were told that not much traffic used it but on lots of occasions we were forced to reverse(vehicles would continue to push at us, forcing us back)We should have been warned of this. In all, we were very disappointed.We paid £463.00 for Friday night -Wednesday morning so not a very good deal!

    It was most disappointing and indeed disheartening to read your negative review regarding your stay at Taf cottage, which incidentally is completely at odds with other guests reviews. We do try and achieve the highest standards and best attention to our guests needs and it is a shame that you did not mention the shower screen issue during your stay as we could have pointed out that it must be closed with the flexible seal facing inwards to prevent seepage onto the bathroom floor. Living in the heart of the quiet countryside it is inevitable that one will encounter local wildlife around the cottages including badgers, foxes, bats, owls, field mice and a few midges at certain times of the year but neither we nor other guests have found them to be an issue. Unfortunately we can not control their movements any more than the prevailing weather nor those odd inconsiderate drivers you apparently encountered on your travels along the country lanes. It is unfortunate that all those things occurred to you during your short stay but honestly it is not a true reflection of the reality of country living particularly during the periods of glorious weather we have had this year. If you had not cut short your stay as you had already planned to do since arriving perhaps those couple of extra fine days following your departure may have changed your view. Property Owner

    They left a hamper for us thinking of us adults and our children. It was very relaxing. The owners has really thought about what you needed when your on self catering holiday. The kitchen was not lacking on utensils,pots and pans etc which has been an issue on our previous holiday. The owner was very helpful with information on where to go that catered for families and pet friendly It was the most relaxing holiday I've been on for years.

  • "Had a fantastic week in Taf cottage."

    Was so nice to get away. The pubs were open to eat outside and felt safe and comfortable. Lots of places to explore nearby including Llandeilo and the national trust. The children loved Pembrey county park with the bikes, beach and tobaggons. The hot tub spa was nice and relaxing to go back to at the end of the day and it’s own private back garden. The kitchen has everything apart from a freezer as only a box top freezer which just about fits in 1 box of ice cream. Muriel,who owns the cottage, very friendly and found places to visit and eat for us.

  • "This cottage was everything we expected."

    We had a lovely welcoming in a stunning part of Wales. Everything we needed in the kitchen, games to play, plenty of wood for the fire and a fabulous Hot Tub to sit in and star gaze. There is very little light pollution so it was brilliant if you like to look for stars. We would definitely return.

  • "Set in beautiful farmland, this is an extremely tranquil place, perfect for sitting back, popping a cork and relaxing in the hot tub."

    The family who own the cottages are on hand for any issues, but not in your face or overbearing. They were fantastic hosts, friendly and took time to introduce our younger kids to their family and pets. Some wonderful countryside ancient, castles and vast clean beaches for the kids to run around on. Highly recommend a visit. Well done to Muriel and Kenny (and family) for running such a lovely place!
