Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few reports of dampness and mustiness slightly affect the overall high standard of cleanliness.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its privacy, tranquillity, and beautiful countryside views. Its proximity to walking trails and local attractions adds to its appeal, although the narrow access lane was a concern for some.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the beds and sofas, as well as the warmth and cosiness of the cottage, enhanced by a log burner. The peaceful environment contributes to a restful experience.
Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and log burner are appreciated by guests. However, there were some comments about maintenance issues and a lack of certain amenities, such as hand towels and a full-size freezer.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the warm welcomes, helpful information, and occasional mention of a welcome hamper. While such gestures are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

Annabel
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 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!!!

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.
