The kind owners offer a laundry service, and the option for breakfast, afternoon tea and evening meals can be provided at an additional cost (arranged direct with the owner). Limestone flooring and the natural pink hues of the exposed stonework give a light and airy feel throughout the property. The sleek kitchen and bathroom, both with underfloor heating, and the tastefully decorated bedrooms complete the theme. French doors lead out on to the patio and an unfenced stream passes through the enclosed garden to the rear of the property.

Up above the village of Llanddeusant sits the famous lake known as Llyn y Fan. This beautiful lake is a popular destination for walkers as it boasts spectacular views and a tranquil, peaceful atmosphere. Myths about The Lady of the Lake and the Physicians of Myddfai come from ancient times, and some people believe that the Arthurian legend of the Lady of the Lake and Excalibur stem from here.
If you’re a romantic star gazer then the first International Dark Sky Reserve in Wales, situated in the Brecon Beacons, is perfect for you. On a clear night, you can see the Milky Way, major constellations, bright nebulas and even meteor showers. It’s enough to make anyone starry-eyed.
Less than half an hour’s drive will bring you to the colourful, picturesque town of Llandeilo, scattered with an array of shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. It’s a delightful place to spend a few hours. Throughout the year you can watch the graceful red kite swoop down for food provided by the Red Kite Feeding Station also in Llanddeusant.

Great cottage with a good selection of places to visit nearby. The farm was delightful with loads of wildlife to see as well as the highly entertaining chickens.
Philip King
This is a stunning cottage on a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Superb quiet retreat. The owners were lovely people and always ready to help. I have scored the local amenities low as there aren’t any. But that’s just the location of the cottage. There are two farms at the end of a 1.5 mile track along with the cottage. Wonderful place and would love to return.

Bramble Cottage is a fabulous home-from-home. A real country idyll. The decor/furnishings/equipment/attention to detail are all top notch. There was even a welcome basket with towels/treats/brush for the dogs. Dogs were very well catered for with the enclosed garden and large, safe and enclosed meadow. Loved the eggs and homemade cakes too. We loved the location of the cottage, which is set in a rural location down narrow country lanes. Surrounding landscape is beautiful. Our hosts, Sarah and Jon, were very welcoming and helpful too.
