About this property
Llangadog 3.6 miles. Resting on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Llanwrda near Llangadog, Carmarthenshire is the charming Tirallen. This wonderful holiday home which was once a working Dairy Farm benefits from an enclosed, expansive wrap-around garden with lawn and hot tub, a fantastic location in the Welsh countryside and five well-appointed bedrooms all boasting grand, high ceilings; a picturesque setting for families or friends to gather in South Wales. Cross the threshold and head straight into the fully-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up meals for the whole family with the help of the range cooker and large fridge/freezer. Gather the family in the dining room, where seating for everyone allows you to savour the meal as a group while reminiscing on the cherished memories you have created so far. As the evening draws to a close, choose from two sitting rooms to snuggle up in one of which boasts a soothing oil burning stove where you can warm your feet after a long day of exploring. Alternatively, watch on as the stars fill the sky from the bubbling hot tub before climbing the stairs to wash off the day in either the bathroom or shower room ahead of sloping off to sleep in one of five bedrooms. Choose from two king-sizes, two doubles and a twin. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling, pay a visit to the The Red Lion to enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen with delicious pub food or venture to Llansadwrn to stop off at the Sexton Arms for a drink before picking up all the essentials at local stores. There is a wealth of history woven throughout the surrounding countryside; immerse yourself in the past at Talley Abbey, Dryslwyn Castle, the 12th-century Dinefwr Castle or the National Trust sites of Paxton’s Tower and Dinefwr nature reserve which encapsulated the 17th-century, beautiful Newton House. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element thanks to the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park which offers endless opportunities for breath-taking walks through wild moorlands and luscious hills as well as chances to try your hand at fishing, horse riding, rock climbing and abseiling and even water sports! Experience all this and more at Tirallen.
Llangadog, in the Welsh county of Carmarthenshire, is a quaint little village r ight in the middle of Llandeilo and Llandovery, in the Towy Valley. Western Brecon Beacons National Park borders this picturesque village. There are a few bars in town, as well as a fantastic butcher, a first-rate post office, and a wide variety of groceries and other goods. The nearby communities of Myddfai, Capel Gwynfe, and Bethlehem are also worth exploring. The nearby town of Myddfai is well-known for its " Physicians" and their use of herbal treatments and also the Myddfai Tourist Information Centre, which serves sandwiches and regional foods. There is a lovely church at Capel Gwynfe that dates back to 1898, and the town is also a popular starting point for bikers and hikers because of its proximity to the Black Mountain. To the south of Llangadog, on a hilltop, is the small town of Bethlehem, which is most well-known for its Iron Age hill fort and its franking of Christmas cards. Adding to the allure is a trip to one of the surrounding mediaeval castles, such as Dinefwr or Carreg Cennen. Further afield you may see the gardens of Aberglasney and The National Botanical garden of Wales, as well as a plethora of stunning sandy beaches and cliff hikes.

Lovely and peaceful clean and well kept. Plenty of seating areaâs. massive fully enclosed garden safe for our two fur babies. Very close to Llandovery which has most things you will need. Iâd say do a shop before you arrive if you are wanting a big shop. Local chippy is lovely and pubs very dog friendly. Lovely onsite cat too really friendly (we did give him/her some milk and chicken) owners are great very helpful and friendly too lovely welcome basket of goodies( Thank you ) you can hear the train going past but not loud and we stayed in front bedroom. Plenty of storage space for your belongings. Hot Tub was great they had it ready for our arrival which was welcome we would definitely book this again great stay x

We loved the grounds and made the most of the hot tub, BBQ and the fire pit area. The children loved the friendly on site cat who was extremely partial to a plate of milk and some cat treats. Added bonus that some of our group got to fish in the river at the end of the lane and even caught some trout. The house was extremely well equipped and we appreciated our welcome pack. Communication with Catrin, the owner was excellent.

The property has a charm about it, the furnishings give an insight into its past, a working farm. Local culture is displayed in the locked show cases, rugby balls cricket memorabilia and programmes from local shows (eisteddford). Six adults and two children spent a week relaxing here, using every room the hot tub was brilliant and the walks around the grounds were picturesque and productive. Lots of apples and pears as well as blackberries were foraged and eaten in pies made in the kitchen. The local cat befriended the girls and drank lots of milk! The local trains go past quickly and cause no problem with noise at all, occasionally a military plane or helicopter flew over which was a pleasant experience and local wildlife was abundant. Red kites, buzzards predominantly in the sky above and a fox could be heard in the evenings, the river has trout in it, as proved by a local fly fishermen. We really didnât want to leave, and this was our 13th Sykes booking, we intend to be back to check out the local gold mine! Book early, we left it too late. Thanks again for a wonderful week.
