Snaptrip says
Taf Cottage in Carmarthen offers a tranquil, rural retreat with a private garden, hot tub, and cosy interiors. Guests praise the cleanliness, peaceful location, and the warm welcome from the host, Muriel. The property is well-suited for families, pet owners, and those seeking relaxation or outdoor activities. Despite a single negative comment about dampness and mosquitoes, the overwhelming majority of reviews are positive, highlighting the cottage's charm and the host's attentiveness.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the cottage being spotless and well-maintained, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One isolated complaint about a damp smell does not significantly impact the overall positive feedback.
The cottage's location is frequently described as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for escaping the hustle of city life. It is also noted for its proximity to local attractions. A minor issue was raised about the narrow access lane.
Guests find the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds and furnishings. The presence of a log burner and the suitability for disabled guests add to the comfort level.
The hot tub is a highlight, alongside the well-equipped kitchen and clean, powerful showers. There is a single mention of a small freezer and a few issues with the hot tub, but these are minor compared to the overall satisfaction with the facilities.
Several reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches, such as a welcome hamper and the host's helpfulness. While these gestures are appreciated, they are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

It is a lovely cottage which was clean and well maintained. It was a really great place to spend a few days. The area was very quiet when we stayed, which we really enjoyed. The owners were great when we made a request of more towels. I would recommend the cottage to anyone.

Beautiful location. Peaceful...(till we got there) We had such a relaxing time and were lovely and warm . I need a walker to get about and the cottage is fully accessible, though a wheelchair might have a bit of a problem cos of some tight corners....please check. I think I mentioned last time that , being picky, I felt the pillows were a bit thin.....and this time, brand new lovely bouncy pillows. Really comfy beds and sofa. Great warm welcome.Thank you. One of our party said they wanted a bigger frying pan....but we are little piggies with our trotters in the trough much of the time....so you will probably find it all adequate. Definitely recommend Taf Cottage. Thank you for a lovely stay.
