Christopher
Really thoughtful hosts. Well equipped and extremely comfortable. Many walks from the door. Safe dog garden. Magic sandy coast at Pembrey. Welcoming dog friendly pubs and a very friendly community. One of the very best we have visited and there have been a lot! Thank you Christine and Mike for your warm and generous hospitality. Our Bumble loved your magnificently handsome Hank.

Mike and his wife had thought of everything we might need, and more! Even a box of treats for the dog! Mike popped in to say hello, and although he lived next door, he did not intrude at all. We felt very at home. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage and will definitely be returning! Kidwelly is a lovely town. The castle is amazing! Within 15-20 mins drive there are fabulous beaches and a country park. Thanks to the owners for helping us have such a wonderful weekend.
