We enjoyed our stay and the cottage is comfortable, clean and tidy and is well positioned for exploring this area of Carmarthen. There is good off road car parking, the kitchen is well equipped and there is a large smart tv and wifi. There is an enclosed outside space but it is not directly accessed via the back door and since the house is on a road junction it is not ideal as we hoped for letting our dog out. The size of the property was fine for a couple and dog.
