Reached by a long, private driveway, this semi-detached one-bedroom cottage packs plenty of period features into one level of accommodation, providing the ultimate cosy bolthole for a tranquil break. The small town of Carmarthen sits on the banks of the River Tywi, 8 miles before this beautiful river flows into Carmarthen Bay. Explore Carmarthen’s indoor market, selling everything from arts and crafts to the best local produce six days a week, before enjoying the plethora of interesting independent shops, restaurants and cafes beyond the market. Discover more about the town’s history, its association with Arthurian legends and its Roman past at the Carmarthenshire County Museum in nearby Abergwili, 8 miles away. Jump further back in history to the ruins of Carmarthen Castle (5.5 miles) to explore its rocky eminence overlooking the River Twyi.

The cottage welcomes you into a glass porch framing the stunning surrounding views, leading to the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, complete with characterful exposed oak ceiling beams. Occupying the front of the space is a cosy living area complemented by a comfy sofa and armchair, plus a TV and DVD. At the rear of the space, you’ll find a well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen, kitted out with everything you may need to cater, plus a compact dining table set which can be extended for more guests. Leading through the cottage, you’ll find a spacious double bedroom featuring the signature exposed oak ceiling beams, enjoying far-reaching views of the surrounding area. This bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room.

The back door in the kitchen area leads out to a wonderful, large patio area, complete with BBQ and patio furniture for the perfect spot to unwind or dine alfresco.

Comfortable accommodation and quiet location. Do not attempt if you have a low undercarriage on your vehicle as the long driveway is very uneven in places. The owners Sharon and Jim are very knowledgeable of the area and very helpful, lending books and leaflets about intended visits. Plenty of various birds to see. Near to beautiful sandy beach andRead more countryside as well as gardens. Owners dogs on site are very well behaved. Hide

Beautiful setting down a long unmade track. Cottage well appointed and comfy. Hosts Sharon and Jim were very friendly and helpful. Jim's local knowledge and suppy of books and maps, local knowledge of small free carparks off the beaten track really helped make the most of our 1st visit to West Wales
