Quaint and rustic, this lovely holiday property is an ideal base for exploring this wonderful area of South Wales, with Saundersfoot and Tenby within reach. Once you park up, you enter the property via two steps onto the veranda and then step straight into the open plan living area. Here you will find two sofas, an arm chair and a rocking chair, a perfect place for relaxing with your family or friends whilst feeling the warmth of the electric woodburner-effect stove. Next to the sitting area is a dining area and beyond this is the kitchen area. Next to the living area is a sauna room with handy shower cubicle, and the property also has a bathroom with a whirlpool bath, perfect to rest and unwind after a days touring. Completing the accommodation are the three bedrooms, consisting of one double, one twin with woodland views and one with bunk beds. The village of Meidrim is close by and has a pub, and there's a number of shops and pubs in St Clears. Also in St Clears is the mound of the 12th century St Clears castle and many festivals can be enjoyed in the town. Within driving distance theres something for everyone, including the town of Carmarthen, just ten miles away, Laugharne Castle, Folly Farm, coastal walks and cycle routes and coastal resorts. With two National Parks - the Pembrokeshire Coast and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) also close by, makes this a great base for whatever you wish to see and do.

The rooms are a good size, having a sauna and whirlpool bath is a real treat. The location is perfect for visiting the area and it's a nice peaceful site. BUT...it needs some maintenance!! Firstly, the shower was just a dribble, you could get wetter standing out in the rain, the carpet was badly stained,( maybe wooden flooring would be more practical), the oven was disgusting with grease, the windows were so dirty it spoilt the view, the cutlery drawer was grubby with bits of food in, the kitchen cupboards were the same, the wooden trim around the bath was black and there was a strange smell. Outside could do with looking at too not kept up together as other properties on site. We had to stay as we had booked a few attractions and didn't want to lose our money. We should've had family joining us later in the week but cancelled them as we left a few days early. We contacted Sykes regarding the issues they were apologetic but it did take from 2nd Oct to 4th for In Property Team to get back to us, so in the meantime we had replaced the showerhead and bought air freshener. We had read the reviews before and seen there were some issues, but they have obviously not been addressed.
