Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has been a concern for some guests, with reports of cobwebs, marked sheets, and a general need for a more thorough cleaning. However, not all reviews mention cleanliness issues, indicating experiences may vary.
The location is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the peaceful village setting, proximity to nature, and local walks. The closed pub mentioned does not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback about the location.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable, with guests mentioning comfy beds and furniture. However, some concerns about the mattress and high bath could affect comfort for certain guests.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen and parking space. Some guests feel that the bathroom and kitchen could benefit from upgrades, and there are safety concerns regarding the stairs for children.
While guests have mentioned the provision of milk and doggy treats, these are individual gestures and cannot be guaranteed for every stay. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.
About this property
Carmarthen 6.9 miles. Nestled in the luscious Welsh countryside in the charming village of Llanpumsaint near Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire is Ty Newydd. This idyllic, dog-friendly holiday home is set in an historic, white-washed, stone chapel meaning it boasts charming character features including arched, original doors, exposed beams and A-frames, and a woodburning stove, as well as a spacious, enclosed garden, making it perfect for small families of couples looking for a romantic retreat in Wales with their beloved canine companions. Cross the threshold into the heart of the home where you can unwind on the plush sofa in front of the Smart TV and the soothing crackle of the woodburning stove while the designated chef cooks up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather the family around the dining table to tuck in, or if the sun is shining, step outside to delight in an alfresco affair where the stream running at the back of the garden creates a truly tranquil setting. When stars fill the sky, head inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the ground-floor bathroom before sloping off to sleep in either the double or twin bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic setting, head to a local pub or The Hollybrook Tavern where you can treat your loved ones to delicious meals and evening drinks. Alternatively, venture further afield to the bustling town of Carmarthen to immerse yourself in the past at Carmarthenshire County Museum, the remains of the Roman Amphitheatre or the ruins of the once impressive Carmarthen Castle. Other nearby, exciting attractions include the Gwili Steam Railway where you can take rides through breath-taking countryside on antique steam trains and the National Botanic Garden of Wales which is bursting at the seams with stunning gardens, dense woodland and a unique tropical glasshouse. The tranquil yet famous spiritual centre of Skanda Vale also lies close to the property, the site receives around 90,000 pilgrims each year and is undoubtedly a must-see for visitors to the surrounding area; spend a full day exploring three temples and watching the poojas, a truly unique and fantastic experience. The rugged Welsh coastline is also within reach, take a refreshing stroll in the sea air along Llansteffan Beach where your canine companion can roam the expansive sands freely while you admire views across the Bristol Channel. Make memories at Ty Newydd.
Carmarthen, perched on the banks of the Tywi River, is home to a storied history as well as a wide selection of restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as the remains of a Norman castle and a Roman amphitheatre. Carmarthenshire's magnificent shore and landscape provide the perfect setting for a broad variety of activities, earning the county its nickname of "Garden of Wales." There are several country parks, show caverns, gold mines, steam trains, and castles to explore, as well as opportunities for good walking, cycling, birdwatching, fishing, and golf. Carmarthen Bay, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and the Black Mountains are all worth visiting, and you can easily see them all in a day.

But that was our mistake! Driveway fitted our 2 vehicle fine. Into the property by the side door brings you into a entrance space which I perfect for drying off wet dogs and removing mucky boots, with a coat hanger! For some reason most holiday cottages don't have a coat hanger. Also in this space is a large fridge with a couple pints of milk, which was very welcome, thank you. From here you are straight into the kitchen, which is well proportioned. Electric fan oven and plenty of pots and pans. The bathroom is at the far end of the kitchen, with shower over the bath. From kitchen you go into the large front room, where you can access the garden through the patio doors. 2 large leather sofas and chair in front room. Large TV, which sadly we couldn't find the instructions for, and struggled to use, as we don't have a smart TV! But we got there eventually. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, 1 double and a twin. Very well proportioned rooms, and lovely view over the garden. We would definitely say here again if in the area. The extra doggy treats were very welcomed from the dogs.

Cosy little cottage, log fire (if needed), great little garden and loved the access to the river Gwili behind. Enough room to park 2 cars, very friendly village and we all thought it a very comfortable place. Diolch Yn Fawr.
