  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.

  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.

  Just returned from a lovely week in Laugharne, staying at Spring Garden cottage.

  It was a nicely presented cottage with an enclosed garden which was brilliant for our dog. It was good to be within walking distance of the estuary, Castle & Dylan Thomas Boat house. The cottage could benefit from a few additions, such as a heater in the toilet & a small corner hand basin on the left hand side of the toilet as you go in, because once you’ve used the toilet you then have to go to the bathroom next door to wash your hands, which you have already spread germs on the toilet chain, light switch & door handles. A blind on the landing would provide some privacy at night & noticed this was mentioned in a review back in March, but still not applied. I found it difficult getting up from the low settee with an dodgy knee as well as going up the stairs where the hand rail was so short, it didn’t provide support to the full length of the stairs. We have stairs at home so going up & down stairs with a dodgy knee is something I am use to, but with a longer hand rail for support. Not sure why there is a large table & 6 chairs when the cottage only sleeps 4. The beds were very comfortable & had the best nights sleep I’ve had in a long time. Enjoyed our week away.

  Thoughtfully presented, Snowdrop Cottage provides everything you need and more, clean, pretty and welcoming, a real home from home.

  The hot tub was sensational and so easy to use. Welsh cakes and shortbread on arrival as well as treats and towels etc. for the dog, also a very comprehensive selection of basic larder essentials.should you need them, all very much appreciated. Laugharne, alone, is a magical place where one can't fail to be mesmerised by the castle and the peaceful tranquillity of a stroll along the sparkling estuary, but there is a wealth of lovely beaches and places to explore while staying at this cosy cottage. Thank you, Janet and Anna, I would love to come back again.. It's great having a washing machine, but might it be possible to fix a little retractable clothes line outside to dry a few items of clothing?

  A beautiful cottage,well furnished with everything you could need and more.

  Even a welcome pack,which was a real bonus after a long drive from West Cornwall.Beds were very comfortable as was the lounge area.Laughane is a lovely place to visit and most places are very dog friendly,whilst the weather wasn't all that good we enjoyed our stay and visited quite a few places.For anyone looking for a good restaurant meal would also recomend Arthurs in the Grist,especially if you are a dog owner,food and service is first class.Only one small criticism of the cottage,in that, you need to be very careful when getting out of the cottage parking space as it is on a well used road with a limited view of traffic coming down the hill,having said that it in no way spoiled our stay.
