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.

What a wonderful place to stay, so peaceful and quiet. The bungalow was well equipped with everything that we needed. The hosts friendly and unobtrusive, but ready for a chat to pass the time. Owner has excellent knowledge and information on the area and is willing to share this with visitors, and his wife very welcoming. We made two trips to the WRead moreelsh Botanical Gardens about twenty minutes away which for us was well worth the visit even at this time of year. Hide
