"Very comfortable accommodation in a peaceful spot."
Condition of property was very good. I was well looked after by hosts and very helpful. For self catering it was good but could have done with another mixing bowl or microwave bowl if you're preparing meals.
Situation to explore surrounding area was ideal.

"A property full of rustic charm set in tranquil surroundings which is just what we wanted."
It's remote enough for all the peace & quite anyone might want (without having to endure lots of one track farm lanes to reach it) but also close enough to use as a base to explore a lovely part of Wales.
The views are beautiful from every which way inside & out. The added bonus of seeing the lambs every day was a personal favourite of mine.
Adrian was a great host with his contact before we arrived to make sure we had accurate directions. We received a very genuine warm welcome on our arrival, with a heartfelt touch of a homemade Bara brith & some spring daffs from the garden. A touch we've not had before but made a huge difference. Everything you could need is in the cottage including local tourist info for ideas to visit, games etc. Adrian clearly cares & it's evident he wants his guests to share what a special place Cilwen is & we both definitely agree, thank you for a fabulous stay. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

"What a fabulous long weekend away!"
The property was perfect for our needs and we were greeted with a warm welcome (plus a homemade cake and half a dozen freshly laid eggs - thank you so much for those!) by the owner on our arrival. The cottage was well laid out and is one long flow-through style (kitchen, lounge/diner, bedroom, bathroom) and has pretty much everything that you need for a self catering stay. No real negatives to the property. My only suggestion would be perhaps having a nightlight in the lounge area to save having to put a main light on during the night if you need to get up for a drink of water etc and don’t want to risk waking your partner or walk into something, but that’s just an observation and not a criticism. Plenty of wall sockets which was a bonus especially in this day and age of everything needing to be charged up. I would definitely recommend Cilwen Fach to anyone looking to stay in this area. No there aren’t any facilities in walking distance but this wasn’t an issue for us as we catered accordingly and there are plenty of places to eat in Carmarthen which is only about a 15 minute drive away. If you are looking for peace and quiet in the Welsh countryside then this is a perfect place to stay.

"This is a brilliant place to go in order to get away from it all."
It really is in the middle of nowhere and the setting is beautiful. The hosts are just great, and kept us supplied with lovely fresh eggs. The chickens would come round to see us each morning and we were allowed to feed them. Every trip out starts and ends with a lot of narrow lanes but once you get to the main roads it is easy to get to a large number of great places. We are particularly fond of Laugharne and Cenarth, which are close by. A lovely part of the country and a great place to unwind.

By far the nicest place we have stayed - it made a change to have a really comfortable bed, a bath and shower and lovely furnishings in keeping with the cottage not the usual generic Ikea uncomfortable furniture or bright in your face colours.

"The cottage is set in a rather out of the way situation but this in itself means its quiet and peaceful and when we were there only heard chickens (in the garden) and lambs, some very small."
It was truly great.
The facilities were fantastic - plenty of boiling hot water and also control (if we needed too) of the heating to the cottage. We went during fairly mild spell so not necessary to change any settings at all.
The people looking after this cottage were very welcoming and helpful and could not do enough for us.
Only one drawback no local pub!!! - but then at the rate pubs are closing all over the country hardly surprising!!

"At very short notice through the support Sykes cottage (thankyou so much) we were sourced this wonderful cottage on an very low bugdet."
We were delighted by its standard of cleanliness and it offered a fully accessorised kitchen, good hot shower over bath tub. It was warm and cozy, draft free and easy to manage. Only 30mins from the nearest beaches and supermarkets, with some of the most gorgeous beaches within an hour, we'de hit the jackpot. We were suprised by housewarming gifts of freshly homebaked cake, a lovely bouquet of flowers and had an ongoing supply of freshly laid chicken eggs "wonderful", what else could you ask for. The kids were delighted by the chickens on the lawn and indulged in feeding them breadcrumbs. The friendly proprieters who lived just next door were very accomadating, happy to deal with any questions but not in your face. I would definately recommend if your looking for an the beaten track holiday where you can relax in absolute peace and quiet and seek out adventure on your own terms.
