  • "Red Kite Cottage is in a beautiful location."

    The cottage could be wonderful but it is very tired with damaged paintwork and damp patches. The cottage was very dirty and poorly equipped. There were only 4 sets of cutlery. The crockery was dirty and chipped. The bed linen and towels were soft and clean. We contacted the letting agent on check in regarding our issues but received no reply until after we had checked out.

    Thank you for your comments and we are delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful location beside Talley Abbey. We're sorry that you felt the cottage was tired. It has been a particularly wet year and old stone cottages such as Red Kite Lodge will have the odd damp patch which discolours and flakes paint - please be assured that this is being attended to for the next guests. Thank you for bringing the chipped crockery to our attention. This has been replaced and we have added additional cutlery for future guests. We understand how important these details are to ensuring a positive experience for our guests and we pride ourselves on providing a quick solution to any issues raised. Unfortunately, in this case, we did not receive your email. The ways to contact us were provided with your travel details and also in the guest information booklet, but for future guests we will update this information to make these details more prominent, as we do offer a 24/7/365 phone service for guests to report any issues. If we had received a call on the above, I am confident we could have resolved these issues to your satisfaction, but can appreciate from your perspective this did not happen. Thank you again for providing feedback and giving us the opportunity to further improve the experience for future guests. We do hope we can welcome you back to Abbey Cottages in the future.

  • "We had a great stay at Red Kite Lodgea and the location was superb."

    It's evident that a lot of thought has gone into the details. Everything we could have needed was supplied at the cottage and we felt instantly at home. We definitely plan to return. Our one recommendation is to update the information book and signs as some of the details about recycling and the internet were contradicting.

Abbey Cottages

Abbey Cottages comprises four beautiful, stone-built, terraced properties, set in the shadow of a ruined 12th century abbey. Nestled among 23 acres of meadow and hedgerows, beside the shore of Upper Talley Lake, Abbey Cottages offers a tranquil base for friends or families to enjoy the beautiful Welsh countryside, with nearby access to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and the lively market town of Llandeilo. Outside, each cottage benefits from off-road parking and use of the enclosed communal garden. Barbecues are also available. Guests are free to roam the land surrounding the cottages, where you will find the intriguing ruins of Talley Abbey as well as access to the nature reserve lying between Upper and Lower Talley Lake; ideal for fishing, birdwatching or simply relaxing. For the more active-minded, a range of fantastic walking routes through Talley Woodlands lie on the doorstep and the award-winning cycling routes of the Black Mountains are close at hand. Built from the stones of the ruined abbey, after it was destroyed during the time of Henry VIII, the cottages themselves are equipped with an ample range of amenities, including children’s facilities such as highchairs, travel cots and stairgates, as well as a selection of games, providing characterful and homely accommodation for groups of all sizes. In the local area, Talley village offers a shop, The Old Smithy - Yr Hen Efail, within a short walk while the National Trust owned community run Cwmdu Inn is 2 miles away in the picturesque hamlet of Cwmdu. For more amenities, the thriving market town of Llandeilo (recently voted The Best Place to Live in Wales by the Sunday Times) is just 7 miles away, where there is a great selection of shops, pubs, and eateries, as well as Llandyfeisant Church and Dinefwr Castle. Beyond this, the historic county of Carmarthen offers a wide range of attractions, such as Aberglasny Gardens, Fan Gyhirych, Pen y Fan, Cefn Llechid, Castell Carreg Cennen and Garn Goch Y Gaer Fawr. Abbey Cottages is an idyllic group of properties ideal for immersing yourself in the incredible scenery of Carmarthenshire.
