  • "Where do I start on praising this property, it was utterly lovely, on arrival it was spotless!"

    and so lovely and thoughtful of the owner to provide fresh milk and orange juice, also Welsh cakes and chocolate (thank you). The cottage is so cosy and warm, beautifully thought out and provided every comfort. The large garden was totally secure for our fur babies, which gives great peace of mind to let them just roam and play. The location was beautiful so peaceful. Just a short drive to the beach, pub, shops, chip shop and cafes. We absolutely loved our stay at little Brook cottage so much so we booked for next year while we were there. A massive thank you to the friendly owner who kindly took the time off his busy dairy farm to welcome us, glad we managed to catch you when we were leaving to say bye and thank you! Cannot recommend this property enough 5* we had a amazing and relaxing stay. So looking forward to going back, see you next year! And thank you. Jo, Stu, Ellie and Nancy

    Located within a short drive of lots of nice beaches / places yet enough off the beaten track to allow for plenty of peace and quiet. We are highly likely to return.

    The place is clean and well maintained, and lovely to have a driveway and enclosed garden. The stone range cafe next door is great, and lots of brilliant places are a short drive away. Thank you Steve and family!

    Ideally located to explore the local area. Safe and secure for pets.

  • "The cottage is lovely."

    Spacious, clean, welcoming and warm with good helpful hosts. It's very private with a secure garden for dogs although our wimpy boy saw the farm cat in the garden within hours of arrival so treated outdoors as a frightening place after that. He enjoyed watching the cows in the farmyard from the safety of the bedroom window. I later learnt the cat is scared of dogs. So, a happy holiday for the three of us. The only improvement for me would be the addition of a high back granny-style armchair. There is plenty of room for one (or two) and would be appreciated by older guests and those with back or hip problems.

  • "We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage and were gutted we had to cut our stay short due to work commitments."

    Everything was ready when we arrived and the cottage was very clean and the kitchen well equipped. Not long after we settled in the owner popped by to check all was ok and if we needed anything. We brought our 2 dogs and there was lots of space inside the cottage and outside for them to roam. We all enjoyed long walks on Pendine beach and up the coastal path. Despite the bad weather, the best thing was coming back to the cottage, drying off and warming up in front of the gorgeous fire. The dogs loved it too and we enjoyed cosy evenings in the living room relaxing from the days walking. The bed was so comfy and we slept very well. The dogs settled quickly and we loved the homely feel the cottage gave us. We did try and say we were leaving but there was no answer at the house and the mobile telephone number provided on the Sykes booking didn’t work. Thank you so much for a great stay. We enjoyed it so much we will be back again next year.

  • "This is a beautiful property and the owners had been kind enough to put up festive decorations for our stay over Christmas."

    It was very well equipped, clean and had plenty of extra firewood in the shed that you could pay for via their honesty box. The location next to the babbling brook and amongst the wooded hills was magical, and it was an added bonus that the boys could sit in their bedroom window each morning and watch the cows and sheep in the farmyard. The property is perfectly situated, with Pendine 5 minutes away in one direction and Laugharne 5 minutes in the other direction. Both had convenience stores, cafes and beautiful walks. A stone's throw away from the property is also the Stone Range Cafe that sells breakfast, lunches, cakes and drinks - it was easily in walking distance from the property, and the owners were friendly and helpful. Overall this is an excellent property and we'd gladly stay here again!

  • "Little Brook cottage was spacious, cozy and had everything we needed for our 5 night doggy holiday."

    It was very clean and tidy, had a wonderful inglenook fireplace and wood burner, really comfy bed and nice hot shower. The garden space was a good size and completely enclosed and secure so we had no issues allowing our dog out without his lead. The driveway was accessed over a little Brook and through a double farm gate and there was easily enough space for two large cars. Wood was supplied for our first night and then more wood was located in shed priced a £5 per bag if required ( we took our own wood with us). At the bottom of the drive and on the right hand side was a lovely little cafe that was open most days 9-4pm and was dog friendly. During our stay we visited several beaches including Pendine sands which was approx 5 minute drive away, Llansteffan beach, Saundersfoot, Amroth and Tenby, all of which were between 30-40 minutes in car. All had dog friendly parts. We also ate at the Carpenters Arms which was about 10 minutes drive away from Little Brook and was dog friendly. We had a fantastic time at Little Brook and it is the best we have stayed in so far. We had to call the owner for advice on one occasion and he was very polite and helpful. The only slightly negative comment I would make is in relation to the departure time of 9am. I appreciate that the owners require time to make the cottage ready for the next guests but as the arrival time is not until 4pm, I am sure that allowing guests a later departure time of even an hour would make a difference, as it was a bit of a rush to get everything packed and tidied up before leaving. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing stay!

    Being down a cul de sac, the cottage and area is secluded in a nature rich valley environment complete with running stream. The opening of the Stone Range Cafe two doors down the main road is an added bonus for breakfast and tea.

  • "Overall, we had a lovely stay at the cottage."

    Perfect location for exploring beautiful beaches and lovely towns. The cottage was well equipped for self catering and easily accommodated a family of four adults and two dogs. We would like to kindly offer some suggestions from our stay; although the kitchen was very well equipped it would benefit from a set of new frying pans, the bedrooms were lovely, large and bright however we felt that the double mattress could benefit from being replaced with a newer firmer mattress as we found it was very soft and offered little support - just to increase comfort as the mattresses in the twin room are superb! Perfect cottage for a getaway and exploring Wales :) Thank you

    Laugharne is our favourite place to be. The cottage was so warm and cosy, clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The cottage was in its own grounds, so we could park our car right outside the door and it was safe to let out fur babies out. I wish I had booked the week, but Never mind we’ll definitely go back and I would recommend anyone looking to relax in a quiet area with everything they need.

    We felt as comfortable there as we do in our own home, comfy sofas, comfy bed, warm and all the cooking facilities you could need. It is also decorated with love with lots of little extra comforts, and the log burner is one of the best we have had. The outside space is perfect, we managed to have a cuppa outside even though it was February. The location is perfect to get to all the near by attractions, such as beautiful beaches, towns and some of the best coastal walks we have done, but then it’s nice to come back to the peace and quiet of the cottage. I couldn’t recommend it enough and our dogs, the real judges, loved it there

    Quiet location but in easy reach of Laugharne and Pendine and the safe garden was perfect for our dog. The owner popped by to welcome us which was nice. The kitchen is very well equipped, ideal for us. The location at the bottom of a little wooded valley meant lots of birdsong and even the sound of deer barking at night. Highly recommended, would definitely stay again!

  • "We were aware the cottage was on a working farm but did not expect the number of flies that were in the property on arrival."

    We fortunately had fly spray and counted around 60 on that first night but were unable to keep doors or windows open during the week as we were fighting a losing battle with them! The freezer door seal had significant mould on it and the bath had mould with extremely shoddy sealant/filler work around the shower screen. This made us feel less than relaxed about cleanliness on a break that was meant to be relaxing after finishing treatment for cancer and ended up going home a day early because of this. Also, we were aware the owner lived next door but nobody came to welcome us or just introduce themselves, which I think in itself is quite telling.

    Larger secure garden where we could release our dogs whist we investigated the cottage. On entering it was warm, welcoming and spotless. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfy and lounge area comfortable. We never used the wood burner as found the central heating to be enough to keep us warm. The cottage is situated on a working farm however apart from hearing the cows in the morning it was peaceful and we were undisturbed. If you are reliant on a mobile phone there is no signale in the cottage, however the WIfi is excellent. There is a landline with honesty box if required, again we never used it. The surrounding area is stunning with good walks for our dogs especially along the beach which is about 2 miles away. The castle walk at Laugharne is also worth a visit. For a week in December the cottage was always warm and welcoming to return to after a day of exploring.

    The only thing that prevented us from giving higher for facilities was because it was a cottage with fairly small windows, at times it was rather dark. We needed to have the lights on even during the day sometimes in the kitchen/dining room. It would have been better with under cabinet lights to help. Also in the lounge, although it was very spacious and were able to relax in comfort. Once again it was dark and the only lights were very bright overhead chandeliers apart from one standard lamp in one corner of the room. To make it more homely, table lamps around the room would have been more comfortable on the eyes.

About the location

LAUGHARNE

Tenby 16 miles.

Laugharne, with its majestic castle standing on a low ridge overlooking the wide Taf River Estuary, is famous for its associations with the poet Dylan Thomas, and a visit to his Boat House and the writing shed where he wrote most of his works is a wonderful experience. Beautiful walks in and around the castle, with breathtaking views of the estuary, can be followed by cream teas in quaint little tea rooms, a drink in the local pub or shopping in the gift shops and mini market. The nearby sandy beach at Pendine is where many land speed records have been famously set on its seven mile stretch of beautiful flat sand, and a little further afield are the seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot. With walks in all directions, great days out at castles, mills and craft centres galore, this is a perfect base for all the family, at any time of the year.
