Ideally situated to explore all areas of Carmarthenshire

A lovely property that catered for all of our needs. In the current Covid-19 crisis the additional precautions were not onerous and we adapted easily. The property owner had a wide knowledge of the area and was able to help and advise as required. Would love to visit again

Peaceful Lication

The Red Kite Cottage was peaceful and well fitted. There was an amazing view and space to breathe. We were interested in finding Welsh ancestral town and sites and Nicki was wonderful in sharing her knowledge of the area. The Red Kite cottage location was perfect for exploring Carmarthenshire. I hope we can return in the near future.

Beautiful cottage with helpful, friendly owner

We booked a week here and thoroughly enjoyed it, although the weather was "changeable" at best! The cottage is clean, well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Nicki is an excellent host and spent a lot of time telling us what there was to do and how to get to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage and would recommend it.

Leuke cottage, met een heel mooi uitzicht!

Het was een fijne en mooie plek om te zijn. Een leuke cottage, met alles erin wat nodig is en ook heel netjes verzorgd. Een heel mooi uitzicht. Nicki is een vriendelijke en behulpzame vrouw, ze gaf veel tips. Er is heel veel informatie te vinden wat je er kan doen in de omgeving. Het huisje is rolstoeltoegankelijk, maar wanneer je volledig rolstoelafhankelijk bent dan is het ondanks de mooie plek misschien toch minder geschikt. De douche heeft een opstap en er is geen douchestoel of plastic tuinstoel, wel een steun.

Sehr schönes Cottage, nette Vermieterin

Das Red Kite Cottage ist liebevoll eingerichtet, war bei unserer Ankunft sehr sauber und ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Es liegt sehr ländlich in schöner Umgebung, die nächstgrößere Stadt ist jedoch in 8 min erreichbar. Das Cottage ist perfekt um ruhige Tage zu verbringen und gut gelegen, um Ausflüge sowohl an die Küste, als auch in die Bracon Beacons zu machen. Im Cottage liegt jede Menge Infomaterial zu möglichen Unternehmungen aus und Nicki gibt diesbezüglich gerne Tipps.

Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung

Die Ferienwohnung ist geräumig, gemütlich und sehr gut ausgestattet - vom Wäscheständer mit Klammern bis zu den Kochutensilien. Das Bett ist groß genug, um auch längeren Menschen zu ermöglichen, zu zweit darin zu schlafen (was ja in Großbritannien nach unserer Erfahrung nicht immer der Fall ist..). Es hat kein Fußende und die Matratze ist gut. Und für den Fall aller Fälle gibt es ja noch in einem weiteren Schlafzimmer drei Einzelbetten, ebenfalls mit guten Matratzen. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und aufgeschlossen und kennt sich super in der Gegend aus. In der Ferienwohnung findet sich zudem wohlsortiert eine Fülle von Material zu möglichen Aktivitäten in Carmarthenshire. Der Sitzplatz draußen ist ebenfalls einladend - auch wenn wir ihn aufgrund des Wetters leider nicht nutzen konnten. Wir haben uns in dieser Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt und können sie uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen!

Wunderschönes Cottage mit schöner Aussicht in der Nähe von Carmarthen

Perfekter Urlaub, bei sehr freundlicher Gastgeberin mit vielen Tips zu Entdeckungszielen. Liegt ziemlich im Zentrum von Südwales so das man viele sehenswerte Ziele gut erreichen kann. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber und gepflegt. Werden wir jedem weiterempfehlen! Leider viel zu kurzer Urlaub.

Brilliant!

Had an amazing stay in Red Kite Cottage. We spent 4 days there and can't complain about anything. the cottage was well equipped and had everything we could have possibly wanted. Nicola, the owner, made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend the cottage for both couples and families.

Nice cottage, nice location.

The cottage has everything you need for any length of stay. Nicki will help in any way on where to go and what to do locally, and beyond in the lovely county of Carmarthenshire. With wild Red Kites soaring above over the farmland and lots of tame chickens in the farmyard, bird fanciers will have a field day. The cottage has Wifi which is very handy, but we think w.w.w really stands for Wild West Wales....Enjoy. Susan John and grandaughter Piper

a lovely break in a beautiful countryside

Wonderfully kept holiday cottage, tidy and comfortable. Suitable for a family of 5 (2 adults 1 teenager 2 children) Lovely friendly owner that made us feel welcomed and was full of local knowledge of the best places to visits. I have already recommended very highly to family and friends.

Comfortable and as relaxing as you want it to be

Exactly as described with everything we needed for our stay. Excellent advice from Nikki on everything from cheapest petrol and closest shops, to local attractions and how to fit them together to make the most of our time and weather (generally good). We felt like we packed quite a bit in to the short break and were able to stay a bit longer as there was no following weekend booking! However we could quite easily have just stayed in for a very relaxing time as it was clean, recently decorated, comfortable and warm with great views. Lots to see and do in easy driving distance. We saw the Red Kite feeding and did the Top Gear tour but also visited several several castles and NT properties including the Dolaucothy gold mine - good underground tour! Nikki was very welcoming and attentive throughout our stay without being intrusive and I am sure if, we had wanted, she would have left us to ourselves. It was difficult to leave - I am sure we will be back and would recommend it to friends or family without hesitation. Jon, Rosie and Andrew

A Peaceful Haven

My husband and I wanted somewhere quiet to stay in the Carmarthen area and this fitted the bill perfectly. On our arrival we were met by the cottage owner who gave us a guided tour of the property. Everything was well presented, with fresh flowers in the living area.and a welcome pack which included delicious Welsh Cakes! There was plenty of information about attractions in the area including a recommended 'Top Gear Towy Valley Drive'. We followed this route and included a visit to an excellent Red Kite Feeding Centre during our day's outing. We were very lucky with the weather ( very little rain!) and were able to sit out on the terrace admiring the beautiful countryside view over a large glass of wine! We would definitely stay again.
