    We had everything we could need during our stay and would definitely return here if coming to the same area again. There were no negatives and nothing we could think of that could be improved; the welcome pack was amazing and very welcome! Well done, top marks.

  • "The cottage is perfect."

    It's in a very quiet location and is perfect for a relaxing holiday. Janice and John could not be better hosts, they provided everything we needed plus some lovely food and wine. There's a footpath nearby that provides easy (traffic-free) access to Kidwelly.

  • "We spent a lovely 10 days in this property which was well-equipped and spacious."

    The property was ideal for access to SW Wales and we visited many places including Tenby and Dillon Thomas's boathouse which was most fascinating. Owners Janice and John were excellent hosts and made us feel relaxed throughout our stay. Their keen interest in wildlife meant we could see from the patio door many species of birds and we witnessed the feeding of the local kite. Recommended holiday venue.

    We woke every morning to various birdsong and enjoyed seeing the different birds flying to and fro. Janice and John were perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome. They're very generous welcome pack was so thoughtful. We had to go up and down a narrow windy lane but never encountered any other vehicle. We would very much recommend Broadford Farm Bungalow for a very peaceful and friendly holiday. Regards Gwyneth and Roy

    There was everything you could wish for in facilities even the kind gifts of wine and cakes. The bungalow was lovely and cosy and so nice and warm. The best experience was the Red Kite that came most days to be fed. Thank you J and J for a lovely 10 days.

    It was exactly as hoped for; comfy beds, decent shower and a well equipped kitchen. There were even big mugs and not tiny cups provided - always a positive for me! The garden would have been lovely if it had ever stopped raining (although it was December in Wales!) and Janice and John were helpful hosts. We have stayed in many holiday rental properties in the area and this one definitely ticked all the boxes.

  • "The bungalow is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and spotless."

    It is located down a quiet lane and has a large garden with a pleasant outlook over fields. It was very peaceful and we slept well, the bed being comfortable. There was always lots of hot water, the WiFi worked well and the Sky package provided plenty of TV viewing choice. The only suggestion I could make is for softer lighting in the lounge (perhaps a standard lamp or 2 table lamps) as the ceiling and wall lights are very bright. The owners are extremely affable and helpful and quickly solved a minor problem. They gave us a very generous welcome pack, which was much appreciated. There are 2 easy ways of walking into Kidwelly centre, the longer one being 1.4 miles. The half-hourly X11 bus (Swansea – Carmarthen) can be caught there. However, there is also an infrequent but useful Morris Travel bus to Carmarthen (service 198) which can be caught at a bus stop in Mynydd-y-Garreg, only 7 minutes walk from the bungalow. There is a large Co-op in Kidwelly and the 198 bus stops there, so we found that convenient. We had excellent lunches at The Red Lion Inn in Llandyfaelog, Florentino's (Italian) in Carmarthen and Nik the Greek in Burry Port. Apart from one wet day, we had good weather and remarkably on two days it was warm enough to sit in the garden till 5pm. All in all we had a very pleasant week and enjoyed exploring an area with which we were not very familiar. The bungalow is well placed for trips out and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

    Directions for finding the bungalow rather vague with no place names or landmarks given. A bit "challenging" to sleep in a small double bed. Ought to be mentioned that there is no mobile coverage, except vodaphone (subject to weather conditions).

    Janice and John were great hosts with a genuine desire to make the most of our stay. the location is great, with abundant wild life feeding and playing feet from the patio doors. ( we saw more than a visit to a nature reserve). Hosts were knowledgeable of the local area and keen to point out places to visit if asked. It felt like saying goodbye to friends rather than hosts when we left.. In all a great cottage in a good location with caring hosts. A very relaxing week and wood not hesitate to book again.

    There is a delicious welcome basket of food awaiting new tenants, and the couple are so friendly, helpful and generous. It was a real pleasure meeting them and sharing stories of Wales with them. The property is situated well off the main roads and is so quiet and idyllic. It is very well equipped and nothing is lacking. We chose it because it has an ideal location in the middle of South Wales - so you can go West/East and North and enjoy several days out. (A must: do visit Kidwelly Castle, one of the best in Wales). The excellent (and rather unexpected) weather did help, of course. Our thanks to Janice and John for a lovely week's stay.
