  • "This cottage was right up our street, and was hoping it was as described in the listing, which it was."

    The cottage was immaculately clean on arrival and even more spacious than viewed from the pictures online. There was only the three of us including dog, but we like our space. The rural location on a farm with horses and dogs was great. Our dog is really hit and miss with other dogs but once she was settled in, she loved the two farm dogs. The younger dog would love to play with our dog when I walked her up the road or down in the extended grounds. Jackie the owner was very friendly and could not have been more helpful. On the day after we arrived she even invited us over to join her and others for a very belated Christmas get together which she had had to postpone from last December, now September, pulled pork baps with salad followed by profiteroles!. We spent some time just chilling and relaxing at the property. The view over the extended grounds with its peaceful and tranquil location were just the job. With the door open to the conservatory it was just nice to sit and listen to the River Corran babbling away as it runs through the grounds. There was a distant thunder storm on the first night but with all the lights off and full view of the sky from the conservatory, we had a show of lightning for most of the evening. We are members of National Trust (NT), so most of our visits were to NT properties or places including Stackpole Quay (and circular walk to the spectacular Barrafundle Beach), Paxton's Tower, Newton House, Dinefwr Grounds and Castle, Calby Woodland Garden, Lawrenny Quay/Claddeau Woods. and Dyffryn Gardens (on our journey home). Other places we visited were the Dylan Thomas history trail in and round Laugharne itself and the Castle with spectacular vies accross the River Taf/estuary. Also for those interested in all types of vehicles and speed, the Museum of Land Speed at Pendine is worth a visit. We had some good food at Poon's in Laugharne (Thai/British street food and breakfasts). Also Indian takeaways both good from Elaichi's and Bombay Spice in St. Clears. Another good place for breakfast (on way to Pendine) is the Stone Range Cafe. Lovely food too at Lawrenny Quay Cafe. All in all a great stay and would definitely consider a returning.

  • "We had a very disappointing stay at Corran Cottage, I'm sorry to say."

    We really wanted to love this property as we were looking forward to a peaceful and relaxing holiday with our dog. The cottage was advertised as being in a "tranquil setting" with "quiet surroundings", however it was far from this. The cottage is semi-detached; there is a bed and breakfast adjoining the building and guests come and go. This would not ordinarily be a problem but for the owners 2 dogs barking at all arrivals. Also on site is the owners stables and this also resulted in many arrivals and departures, again causing car door slamming and dogs barking. The owner lives opposite the cottage and the lovely garden you see in the pictures of the trees and stream is beautiful, but is also shared with the owner and the B and B guests. There is, therefore, very little privacy in the so called "private" garden for residents of the cottage, as it is overlooked by the extended garden and all who visit it. To make matters worse the owners dogs took exception to anyone using the extended garden, and our dog was jumped on and growled at each time we left the cottage. We also witnessed the same thing happening to residents of the B and B who tried to walk their dog in the extended grounds, so it certainly was not a one-off situation. Each time we left the cottage we had to carry our dog to the car to prevent it being jumped on by the owners dogs. A far from relaxing stay at Corran Cottage and we decided to leave 4 days early, as 3 nights there was far too stressful for us and our dog.

    Thank you for your review. I am so very sorry you were disappointed with your stay. The majority of my guests enjoy a tranquil, peaceful holiday and I have not received any complaints like this previously. As for the dogs, most people welcome their friendliness and the puppies' vivacity. Property Owner

  • "Corran Cottage is in a wonderful setting."

    The accommodation is excellent, spacious and spotlessly clean. Beds are so comfortable that we slept well each night. The conservatory overlooks the river and adjoining land and with the sunny weather was a delightful place to sit and relax. The large second bedroom meant that our son and young grandsons could join us for a few nights, which they too thoroughly enjoyed. Jackie, the owner made us feel very welcome. We shall certainly be returning.

  • "Best family week away in a long time."

    Jackie the owner was always available for questions but never imposing and just let us get on with our week. So much to visit and see in the area and great dog walks. We will be booking this cottage again.

The property

Corran Cottage is a delightful cottage resting in the rural outskirts of Laugharne, which has been lovingly renovated from a stone out-building to provide beautifully-presented, high quality accommodation throughout.

Offering so much space and freedom to do as you please and set opposite the owner's home offering families the opportunity to explore South West Wales.

Park off-road and be welcomed into this charming abode, discovering a kitchen/diner with ample amenities to cater for your culinary needs, and space to indulge in a hearty meal, and from here guests can head out to the patio, overlooking the river, where barbecues can be enjoyed on summer evenings.

The sitting room boasts a woodburning stove that you can recline beside after a long day of exploring and enjoy a good book.

Outside, there is a secure fenced area, half lawn, and half grassland and wildflowers, so why not relax and soak up the quiet surroundings in the private rear garden, whilst listening to the River Coran, and watching the wonderful wildlife?

Despite its tranquil setting, a short walk from this South Wales cottage, you will find shops, pubs, and restaurants.

Dylan Thomas’ famous boat house and the garage where many of his works were penned, is well worth a visit.

The majestic castle looks out over the estuary, and a stroll along the shoreline is a delight at any time of year.

The local beaches are dog-friendly, all year round, and there is an exceptional network of footpaths in the area surrounding this cottage near Laugharne, including a two-acre wild garden and woodland, which you are more than welcome to enjoy and explore, across the bridge over the River Coran.

Why not venture a little further to enjoy sandy, dog-friendly beaches, historic castles, theme parks, or a steam railway ride?

The property is also within reach of the incredible scenery of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, leaving you spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a hike in both the pretty and rugged scenery.

The delights of Corran Cottage will encourage you to return again and again to Sir Gaerfyrddin.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

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.
