Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the accommodation very nice. We used several of the local amenities (such as takeaways and shops) and found them very good. The house is well situated for good trips out - the Gower obviously and other lovely beaches, and of course Kidwelly Castle is a must! Unfortunately we had horrendous weather but the cottage was very warm and comfortable so we had a nice relaxing time anyway - pub just up the road!
