The local area is also steeped in history. The county of Carmarthenshire, known as ’The Garden of Wales’ has become a big draw for walkers, cyclists, anglers and lovers of the outdoors and is the largest county in southern Wales, stretching from Carmarthen Bay in the south to the western Brecon Beacons and Cambrian Mountains in the north. It offers rich landscapes, gardens, ancient castles, wildlife and sandy beaches as well as market towns brimming with local produce, chic shopping and eateries.
Llandeilo is one such town, less than 30-minute drive away and is full of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants. Other places of interest nearby include National Trust Dolaucothi Goldmines (tours available) and the lakes of Llyn Brianne and Llyn-y-Fan Fach, the lake that gave rise to the Arthurian legend of the Lady of the Lake.

Absolutely lovely cottage. Everything you need. Spotless and very comfortable sofas and beds. Amazing mountain views from the living room and patio. Very good location for travelling to any of the local places (such as Llandovery, Llandeilo, Llyn y fan fach, Red Kite bird feeding, Usk reservoir) or to go to Pen y Fan or Henrhyd Falls areas. Delyth and Adrian were lovely-helpful if needed but kept themselves to themselves. Their cottage is set further down the drive and you can’t tell they’re there once you’re inside, you feel like you’re on the hillside with the mountain views all to yourself. When we return to the area we’ll definitely be staying here again.

What an absolutely amazing place. The house was absolutely perfect and clean and modern throughout. The real benefit of it though was location. It’s at the top of a hill and the views over the Brecons were stunning. The real prize though were the stars. There is no light pollution there and we have never seen the stars shine so bright! If you’re looking for comfort and amazement, I highly recommend this location. The hosts were also wonderful and friendly and had catered for everything, including the welcome Welsh cakes!
