"We've had an absolutely fabulously comfortable and relaxing experience at The Old Carriage Court."
The well laid out facilities around all the bedrooms and communial areas gave us all the space we needed as a group of 10. The beds were really comfy, the rooms nicely decorated and quiet. The 4 bathrooms, 2 of which are ensuite, were spaced so that nobody struggled for a loo. Quality fittings, fixtures and linens.
Everyone loved the games room, although for our 6ft 5in 17 Yr old it was a precarious space with some of the old ceiling fittings. Lots of friendly competition and rushed suppers.
The outside area within the courtyard was well used this week with barbecue evenings and late afternoon autumn sunshine.
Edwin is a delight. A lovely man who welcomed us on our first morning, gave some great suggestions on the local area and good eateries around and about. His instructions for our arrival were spot on. We arrived in the black of night and would have been lost without his very specific route up to the house.
The whole group of our family enjoyed this wonderful house, all the comforts of home, the gardens and the surrounding
area. We all hope to
come again.

"We had a lovely week and were spoilt with some lovely September sunshine!"
We took our parents who are in their 90s for a week away which they thoroughly enjoyed. They did find the large steps up the the front door a challenge however once inside was great everything was on one level.
The property is very well equipped and had everything that we needed within the kitchen. The property was clean and tidy. We did all struggle with storage in the bathrooms. Some shelving within these would be really useful as there is nowhere to put anything, even a wash bag. Some bedrooms also have a lack of hanging space so a wardrobe in these would be a great addition.
I guess as we are approaching the end of the summer period the property has been let for weeks on end but a deep clean would be beneficial as under beds, behind chairs etc was quite dirty. Many guests would not see this but we had to move a few things to accommodate our parents needs.
We will definitely return in the future.

"Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage for a holiday, and it exceeded all our expectations!"
From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage is beautifully decorated, luxurious, and immaculately clean, with spacious bedrooms and an open living room that’s perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Every little detail has been thought of to make families feel comfortable and welcome.
One of our favourite features of the cottage was the beautiful fireplace in the living room, which added such a cosy and warm atmosphere in the evenings. Outside, there’s a fantastic BBQ space where we enjoyed family meals in the fresh air. The kids absolutely loved the separate games room, which had fun activities like table football and table tennis—perfect for keeping everyone entertained!
The surrounding area is stunning, and it was the ideal spot for our family to unwind and disconnect. There are plenty of lovely walking trails nearby, great for family strolls and exploring nature. Plus, the cottage is in a fantastic location with easy access to some of South Wales' beautiful castles and beaches, making it perfect for day trips to explore the rich history and stunning coastlines.
Edwin, as our host, was fantastic—super friendly, helpful, and responsive to any questions we had. He even reached out before the holiday to provide easy navigation to the cottage and shared a thoughtful list of things to do and places to eat in the area, which made planning so much easier. A lovely welcome list of essentials was also left by Edwin at the cottage, which was such a thoughtful touch!
If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing escape for the whole family, this is the perfect place. We all had an excellent stay and can’t wait to return!

There’s plenty of space wether you’re around the dinner table or having an evening of fun and games, the kitchen is very well equipped. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.
The courtyard is a great enclosed space which is gated, where you can just relax on the benches, have a game of badminton or a BBQ, we also spent quite a few hours in one of the barns playing table tennis.
The surrounding area is so peacefully quiet with stunning gardens and an old derelict house.
Edwin is a great host, always at hand if there is anything needed, you’ll see him in passing sometimes walking his horse and always willing to answer the many questions we asked regarding the derelict house.
We highly recommend this Cottage and hope to be returning soon.

"Overall the holiday was very good."
The accommodation is in a very convenient location to visit sites in the area. The building, grounds and derelict mansion are very impressive. The hosts were very pleasant. The home was exceptionally well equipped - probably the most glasses , cutlery etc that we have ever had on holiday and all were very good quality. There was a slight problem with cleanliness - we moved one sofa in the lounge to access the control for the radiator located behind the sofa as it had been turned off. On moving the sofa large clumps of dog hair were revealed together with a half eaten oat type bar/biscuit. On moving the other sofas more dog hair was present but not as much. A day or so later my daughter found a false eyelash on the floor in a bedroom. Other than this the remainder of the property was very clean. The initial problem with cleaning was reported to the owner who was very apologetic. The owner provided a large bag of charcoal and matches/firelighters to use the bbq but unfortunately the bbq was very dirty with some mould. It was not a problem as the age range of our group did not lend itself to holding a bbq. Cleaning the bbq at home is a job I detest and was certainly not going to do it whilst on holiday. Some constructive criticism I hope - three bedrooms had no wardrobes which was a surprise only a few hangers on the back of doors which meant that we used our cases to keep our clothes in. The lower drawer on the chest of drawers in the end bedroom ( with two steps) was almost impossible to open and close - decided best not to use it. Finally, it would be helpful if shelving were provided in the bathrooms again as there is no place for toiletries. Hope this does not sound too negative as overall we were pleased with the facilities and had a great family holiday.

"We had a wonderful time at The Old Carriage Court."
We finally managed to arrange a family celebration, albeit, nearly two years late. The accommodation was superb and met all expectations. Edwin was friendly, helpful and available if we needed him.The layout and facilities were excellent and met all our family needs, it was an ideal and safe space for our 3 year old grandson. The bedrooms were clean and spacious and everyone one commented on how comfy the beds were. The living/dining area was a great space for the family, large enough to accommodate all 10 of us yet it didn't feel crowded and we could all interact whilst preparing and eating meals. The 2 dogs were also welcome. The court yard and outbuildings provided a safe place to store our bikes, walking gear and to make the most of the games provided. We explored the area which offered great walks, beaches, parks, castles, something for everyone. There were great mountain bike trails near by at Brechfa forest, although some of the trails were closed due to the recent storm. Pembrey country park is a must to visit. I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation and would have no hesitation in coming back again. Superb holiday, in a wonderful setting.

"Our experience at the Old Cottage Court was absolutely perfect."
Firstly the location of the accommodation feels taken from a page in The Secret Garden. The gardens on the grounds, the abandoned mansion from straight out of a movie set, the perch on top of a hill for an excellent view, were something to behold. Days were spent simply sat reading in these gardens instead of hopping in the car for the next day trip! The surrounding area is stunning, with Pembrey beach + the Gower not too far, and amazing magical-like hikes.
Secondly the accommodation itself. Having only been completed in November (there is a photo exhibit on the wall of the kitchen showing the journey!) everything is fresh and new, and everything is very well stocked. 8 of our party of 10 were working at least half of the week during our stay, and we were able to use the sizeable kitchen and strong wifi to accommodate zoom calls and regular working. The rooms themselves are roomy, extremely comfortable, bright and airy. The court itself is beautiful, with a muddy boots room next door, a well stocked games room, a BBQ, and a lovely table to sit in and enjoy the beauty of the renovated building.
Lastly, we have to thank Edwin & Mary for the level of care we experienced during our stay. In order to ensure we were stocked for our self-catered food we arranged for a Sainsbury's delivery to drop off 10 people's worth of food for 7 days (a huge order). We were delayed in our arrival, and missed the delivery - but arrived to find that Edwin (and a very kind delivery driver) had moved ALL the groceries from the van and into the fridge/onto the kitchen table. In addition, when the dish washer broke down Edwin arrived almost immediately - and myself and my partner returned to the accommodation to find they had done all the washing up themselves in addition to trying to sort the machine! Edwin & Mary absolutely made our trip and we cannot say enough just how excellent hosts they are.
We hope some day to return the carriage court - we'd be very fortunate indeed.
