What our customers say about their holidays

  The bungalow is spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and spotless.

  It is located down a quiet lane and has a large garden with a pleasant outlook over fields. It was very peaceful and we slept well, the bed being comfortable. There was always lots of hot water, the WiFi worked well and the Sky package provided plenty of TV viewing choice. The only suggestion I could make is for softer lighting in the lounge (perhaps a standard lamp or 2 table lamps) as the ceiling and wall lights are very bright. The owners are extremely affable and helpful and quickly solved a minor problem. They gave us a very generous welcome pack, which was much appreciated. There are 2 easy ways of walking into Kidwelly centre, the longer one being 1.4 miles. The half-hourly X11 bus (Swansea – Carmarthen) can be caught there. However, there is also an infrequent but useful Morris Travel bus to Carmarthen (service 198) which can be caught at a bus stop in Mynydd-y-Garreg, only 7 minutes walk from the bungalow. There is a large Co-op in Kidwelly and the 198 bus stops there, so we found that convenient. We had excellent lunches at The Red Lion Inn in Llandyfaelog, Florentino's (Italian) in Carmarthen and Nik the Greek in Burry Port. Apart from one wet day, we had good weather and remarkably on two days it was warm enough to sit in the garden till 5pm. All in all we had a very pleasant week and enjoyed exploring an area with which we were not very familiar. The bungalow is well placed for trips out and I have no hesitation in recommending it.

  Good afternoon, although Darren was helpful on check in, the property maintenance and cleanliness was very disappointing.

  The wine fridge was broken, blinds in the dining area were broken, a seat in the dining room had no bolts and not safe, the salad compartment in the fridge was broken. The cleanliness of the property was not very good, toilets in 2 bathrooms were not clean, the oven and fridge were dirty, there was mould on the floor of the shower in the main bathroom en suite, fingerprints on all the doors in the main living and dining area. The hoover was completely blocked and not cleaned out, the tumble dryer is faulty. The hot tub couldn't be used for 24 hours which was one of the main reasons we booked this property so missed a day of use, not enough info regarding the towel situation which were very minimal. The property itself was great, but for the amount of money we spent it was very disappointing to experience these problems and certainly no excuse for the cleanliness. Wasn't up to the standards we expect from similar properties we have rented in the same price bracket.

  The location of the house and garden are excellent with superb views.

  The house itself is brilliant for the six of us, but not sure it would cater for 12 people comfortably with number of beds and lounge chairs. TV and car charging facilities excellent. Bedroom and bathrooms were excellent, showers were brilliant. The reason I have dropped a couple of the scores is some of the property/facilities were in need of updating given the price of the property. Some doors didn't open, hot tub small even for six, games room needs a refresh, benefit from a coffee machine, wine fridge needs fixing, outside table fire pit needs fixing and bin situation not ideal. For a pet friendly property it wouldn't take much to secure the garden. I have to call out Darren the agent who risked life to change the battery in the smoke alarm that started bleeping 1am the first night we were there, it was fixed by the time we got back on Monday so a great response.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Beech Tree Cottage. The cottage was well presented, clean and tidy. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. The dinning area easily seats 6 people. The lounge is comfortable with a large TV and loads of seating. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms are a great boon for a family group. The cottage has two well maintained gardens, front and rear where you can sit and enjoy the sun at any time of day. There is a huge two car garage which is brilliant as parking in Saundersfoot is at a premium. Last but not least, the property is less than a five minute walk to the beach and the town. The communication by Original Cottages and Sue Carbis was very good. All in all I would not hesitate to highly recommend this holiday cottage to anyone.

  60th Birthday Celebration We travelled to Ty Marlyn to celebrate my 60th birthday myself, husband our three children, partners and dog.

  We had a wonderful stay. The first of the party were greeted by Darren who showed them around. The house is just as the pictures show with everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. We were extremely lucky with the weather even though it was early October so spent a lot of time exploring south Wales. The beaches are incredible. We were also able to spend time in the lovely garden and hot tub. The games room in the garage and games room in the house are very useful if the weather is poor but on this occasion we really didn’t need them. Thank you so much to the owners for sharing this gorgeous house we would love to return in the future.
