  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.

  This is the first time we, as a family, have ever booked a cottage type break away - it won't be the last.

  This is a delightful cottage and far exceeded the expectations from the already wonderful pictures you see here. It is spacious with 2 sitting rooms. The main sitting room has a log burner with everything provided to get it going. I've no idea how to use one, but I gave it a go and had a nice fire going. Has a TV with all the usual channels and iplayer etc. The other sitting room is equally as nice but you may need your own firestick there if you want to watch the television. But we didn't do much telly watching - so only briefly looked. Kitchen diner is massive! All you need to cook is here. Very good quality throughout. Ensuite main bedroom. Make sure you pull the blind down (You'll see!). Bed is extremely comfy. The children reported the same from there room too! Now, the cottage is on a main road, so there is a bit of traffic noise - but to be honest its not really an issue. The boiler clicks a bit in the main bedroom when the heating comes on but again you're being uber picky if this is an issue. The outside is just lovely. You can spend hours in the hot tub, listening to tunes if you want, or the blissful sound of absolute calm. It is really secluded too so no one can see round the back. There is a lovely little welcome back - and a folder with all you need to know about the cottage and the area. A brilliant touch. As it says, everything is a bit of a drive away, but an ideal base for exploring Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Our only regret is not being able to stay a bit longer. Out two asked when we were going back. I said I didn't know - but we will be going back to this beautifully presented cottage.

  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.

  The Stable is the smallest out of the 2 ajoined farm holiday lets in the villlage of Cheriton to the right of the church. 1 double bed and a pull out sofa bed. No dishwasher but no big deal but has a washing machine instead. Cheriton has 1 pub, The Britannia which was great, on our last night we went out for dinner, excellent food. The village has one shop doubling up as a Post Office. For a fleeting visit to a beach you get clobbered for 5 or 6 quid for parking. If you have a family this is worth it as an all day outing. Rhossilli beach car park: if you are a member of NTrust and have your membership card it is free to park just scan your card on the trariff meter. Be warned that Rhossilli beach is reached by flights of stairs to the beach so is not recommended for the infirm or disabled but the view from the car park is fantastic on a sunny day and so worth a visit but not if you have to pay out hard cash for half an hours fleeting visit..Seems to me that all roads that lead to beaches have a caravan park at the end, you can drive through but do not expect freebee parking - not too overly sure whether that is legal or not but it is what it is. Beware of the narrow roads so anyone in the throng of August traffic with a camper van you`ve just been warned. As for the Holiday let it was perfect.

  We stayed in Sandpiper cottage from Saturday 15th.

  May We were met by Rob as we pulled into the carpark. He immediately made us feel welcome. We were very impressed by the strict Covid regulations even a hand sanitizer dispenser on the door of the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The views from the back of the cottage were stunning for city dwellers like us. We were looking forward to seeing the night sky, as there is no light pollution but the clouds prevented a clear view. Wi-Fi great managed to attend a few Zoom meetings. What made the break so good is I was able to swim every day in a heated pool we were able to book a slot each day. The pool is sanitized between slots. We felt very safe. I would highly recommend the cottages for families and couples plus they are pet friendly. We look forward to returning. Anne and Pat.
