Guests consistently mention the cottage being spotless and clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness. The property's tidiness contributes positively to the overall experience.
The location is praised for being peaceful and central for exploring beaches and castles. However, some guests noted the access road's condition and the lack of footpaths, slightly affecting the score.
The cottage is described as comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed and a welcoming atmosphere. A few guests suggested improvements to the sofa, but overall, the comfort level is high.

The accommodation was excellent with everything one needed for a week's stay. A couple of days had torrential rain, but I was able to stay in the cottage and catch up on my reading, which was great.

All the items we needed to be comfortable were provided. The bed, one of the main necessities, very comfortable. Lovely linnen. A washing machine and dryer was very much appreciated. The location was great to visit the places we had in mind. We enjoyed our week at this location.

It is situated in lovely peaceful surroundings with a beautiful garden and I have never slept so long. Ideally situated just off A40 so handy to reach any part of Carmarthan and beyond, lovely hosts and resident dogs completed the perfect restful holiday. I definitely hope to return soon.
