  A wonderfully clean, comfortable, well appointed cottage.

  Everything was there to make our holiday go smoothly from the cottage itself to the really useful well equipped utility room to the fabulous games room. The touches of the fresh flowers to tea, coffee, milk, welshcakes etc were very welcome after a long drive. The owners have thoughtfully put a comprehensive folder together with everything to know and more about your stay and history of the cottages. There is also a good selection of tourist information in the games room. The games room itself is well stocked with books, board games, toys etc. We particularly loved playing table tennis. We have a full size table at home but at present have not the room to use it, so this was great. The nearby castles and gardens are a must to visit as well as Dinefwr House and the National Trust's Gold Mine. All in all a wonderful weeks holiday and will certainly recommend to family and friends. We loved Ollie the cat a 'purrfect' character!

  The hosts were very accommodating and tried to ensure that our stay was enjoyable, however we found the accommodation somewhat dated and much too small for our needs ( this probably our own fault for not enquiring further).

  The photographs in the listing presumably were taken with a wide angle lens and make the rooms appear much larger than they actually are, the kitchen/living room is very cramped and the bathroom felt dated. The lane leading to the listing is full of very large potholes and we are just glad of the choice of vehicles for this trip, I would not have liked taking my saloon through that obstacle course.The local pub, the Fox and Hounds was a mixed bag, good meal the first visit, one hour wait for food and an inedible steak the second visit, however locals and staff were extremely friendly. This cottage will be ideal for some, great central location for visits to beaches, Carmarthen and even Brecon Beacons , but we needed something a little larger, maybe a little newer (again our fault) and warning of worn out lane would be helpful.

  I loved my stay at Cwtch Cowin, Bruce and Sylvia are really friendly and welcoming but not intrusive.

  I had my two dogs with me & the enclosed garden was a real bonus. This was probably the best dog friendly place I've stayed in. The owners even provided dog bowls and a large plastic tray to put food & water bowls on. The property is approached by way of a pretty rough farm track that can flood at the junction to the main road in heavy rain but not to any worrying depth. It's really well furnished and very comfortable. It has a wet room type bathroom. The bedroom is a decent size with lots of storage space, the bed itself was very comfy. The nearby village has a small shop but larger stores are in St Clears a bit further out. It was a good base for exploring the south coast, Pendine, Pembery park and the Gower. It got a big thumbs up from me & my dogs.

  The property is an annexe to the owners home.

  It is small but two of us ( my husband not very mobile) plus our Irish Terrier had plenty of room. A contained garden for your dog or you can arrange to let your dog in the large garden with any boarded dogs at the time. The owners are friendly, helpful and on hand to give any advice on places to go, we ordered a hired mobility scooter to be delivered to the property which was there before we arrived. The village shop is well stocked, fresh bread, eggs etc and the pub is friendly and you can eat in the bar with your dog, food is very good. Lots of beautiful beaches a short drive away, all had big areas which allowed dogs on even though we were there after the 1st May. We would definitely stay here again. Well worth the 310 mile drive from Yorkshire

  Since I moved to Wales over 20 years ago, I have stayed in many self catering establishments both for work and play !

  These cottages are part of a small group of barn conversions with a family home and courtyard. As I extended my stay I ended up staying in 2 of these cottages, all clean everything you could want good WIFi etc, Washing facilities and games room great too. They are named after 3 local Castles, the " garden " for visitors comprises of a large area of older woodland dominated by ancient oak trees large and small, ideal for families and their pets. Gavin and Josie are great hosts and part of that lies with their love of their own 2 Spaniels and they are happy for you to interact with them, which any dog owner would do. The setting, the high standard of accomodation and relaxed surroundings made it one of the best places I have stayed in.
