Our home was originally two 19th century cottages that have been adapted into one home, blending original features with modern additions. We have a stone porch entrance with reclaimed stained glass windows where you can store your outdoor clothing, boots etc. This leads to the guest lounge with a multi fuel stove as well as a selection of books, record player and vinyl records for you to enjoy. You access the first floor via a large spiral staircase which runs through the centre of the house where the guest rooms and adjoining bathrooms are situated. Your rooms each have a 32 in Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon and Apple TV, hair dryer, kettle and ironing facilities. There are oak strip floors, reclaimed floorboards and stone flooring throughout the house and every bedroom has antique Welsh blankets and restored wood furniture. We have chosen paint shades and furnishings that give each room a different identity and feel. The kitchen has an AGA style oil stove with oak lintel and pew and a cosy seating area as well as all the modern facilities including Air fryer, electric oven/grill/ceramic hob, Alexa and Sonos speaker system. You have access to the kitchen at all times and we are always well stocked with a range of breakfast options which is self service and you are not limited by specific times, we offer a very relaxed approach. Our home has a spacious dining room with a large Oak table, bench seating and comfortable vintage chairs. This room leads onto two patio areas and a large garden with a chimenea and barbecue where you can relax and enjoy the outstanding views across the Amman Valley and enjoy spectacular sunsets.
We enjoy the peace and tranquillity living in the countryside with our two small dogs that are really friendly and take advantage of what the location has to offer including cycling, walking and wild swimming. We feel privileged to be able to share our home with guests and meet so many wonderful people. We have made our home comfortable and relaxing for our guests, adopting a relaxed approach where we want guests to really feel at home. We are keen to help you get the most out of your stay and as such happy to share our knowledge of the area and assist you in planning your break. Please let us know prior to your arrival if there's anything that will make your stay enjoyable and please get in touch for example if you need to book a restaurant for your arrival day. We look forward to meeting you!
We are living in an ideal location to get away from it all and enjoy the peace of the countryside whilst being close to transport links and amenities such as supermarkets and shops as well as independent restaurants, cafes and bars. We are in a great location to visit breath-taking scenery, award winning beaches and small unspoilt towns and villages in Carmarthenshire such as Llandeilo that has a range of great places to eat and shop the 'best place to live in the country 2022' and Llansteffan . We are situated between the Gower Coast and the Brecon Beacons and a short distance from accessible river and hill walks. You can access the Heart of Wales railway line . We have local walks which take in views across the area. Lliw reservoir 4 miles away which has accessible walks, paddle board and canoe hire. If you are a mountain biker we are in-between Brechfa and Afan trails and for road cyclists perfect for traffic free riding and iconic rides within 45 mile radius.
