Fabulous few days
The cottage is spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. Steve is a great host, welcoming and approachable. We had a relaxing stay. The garden is secure for dogs which is really important for us. Highly recommended.

Cottage was just as described. Lovely welcome from Cara. Good communication with Steve. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Quiet location; lots of walking close. We appreciated milk, tea and coffee provided. Meal at the Farmers Arms was excellent. We’d definitely stay again.

Lovely week in Carmarthenshire
My wife, I, and our cavvie had a great stay in Gorlech Cottage - plenty big enough for the 3 of us, a fully enclosed patio/mini-lawn area the hound can be let outside into without constant supervision and a very nice pub just down the road in Brechfa. Would very much use again if/when we go back to the area!

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage and enjoyed the tranquility and amazing scenery of the local area. Steve was very friendly and on hand to help us throughout our stay (and even afterward as my partner left behind some items)! We had a wondeful mini break :)

Lovely quiet cottage
We had a lovely three night stay at Brechfa cottage. Beautifully cosy cottage perfect for three humans and a dog. Extremely helpful and friendly hosts made us feel very welcome. Very peaceful location close to Brechfa and Abergorlech (you can access forest walks from the latter). Both lovely villages with pubs. We had a lovely meal at the Forest Arms in Brecfa (book ahead), The Black Lion in Abergorlech is also supposed to be lovely but we left it too late and couldn't get a table. The beach at Llansteffan is beautiful, we also enjoyed the castle at Dinefwr and lunch at Wright's in Llanarthne! Lots to do in the area, what we loved was that it was so peaceful with great roads and really not very busy with loads of tourists and congested traffic. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, we loved our stay and the break did us good x

Beautifully appointed cottage in perfect location
Steve happened to meet us in person with his adorable little dog Bodhi when we arrived at this amazing cottage, although he also has a great set up for contactless check in too. The cottage itself is perfect, really tastefully furnished and equipped with all the appliances and items you might need on your holiday. The beds are very comfortable and there’s loads of space to relax, inside and out. The location is incredible, right in the heart of Brechfa forest, only a few minutes cycle to the start of some brilliant purpose built mountain biking trails of varying difficulty (we also hired 2 really good mountain bikes from Steve for the day). It is also under an hour to New Quay in the north and Saundersfoot in the south of the area if you want to get to the coast. The weather was, let’s say unpredictable, but that didn’t stop us doing anything. I’m sure we only touched the surface in terms of stuff you can do in this area but we would love to return soon. Thanks again Steve for all of your help and recommendations too.

Brilliant stay in a lovely cottage with lots to do!
We had a fantastic holiday. The cottage is tastefully decorated, with everything you need and a lovely warm atmosphere. You can't beat the location with gorgeous views across the valley to the wooded hills. Steve was a fantastic host. Always keen to help if needed, especially regarding local bike trails, things to do and hiring us a bike! We are definitely keen to return next year. Christine, Graham and Archie

The perfect break after a stressful few weeks in work! Beautiful walks nearby - the dogs loved these. The accommodation is so quaint and relaxing. Well equipped will everything you will need - from teabags to sharp knives! Dishwasher and washing machine very handy features, too. Owners were so lovely and respected our privacy whilst also being on hand should we have any queries.

Wonderful break in beautiful Wales
We really had the best time in Wales. We were very spoilt with a lovely week of weather, but even so, the location of the property was surrounded by the beautiful Brechfa Forest which was so lovely to wake up to! The cottage was comfortable and ticked all our boxes with a lovely large table perfect for dinner time and board games. The outdoor space was great for our little dog and also looked out at the beautiful forest. Star gazing outside was also up there! Location wise we found it relatively close to the areas we wished to explore and also went to the owners three favourite beaches! We've been reminiscing this week and what a lovely break it was.... and would like to come back! Thank you to Stephen.

We had a great time here. The cottage has all you need and our hosts were helpful and friendly whilst respecting your privacy. A lot of the neighbouring trails were closed (likely Covid related) but the cottage is perfectly positioned to explore the Welsh coastline in any direction.

Cannot fault this cottage, one of the best we've stayed in. Beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you need to hand with very comfy beds! Quiet location superb for exploring the area, lots of great local walks, about hours drive to the beaches, and a mile from a lovely pub! Steve and his wife who live onsite are brilliant, there to help without being intrusive. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful break.

Family Holiday
We had the most fantastic time staying at this beautiful cottage. The location is simply stunning and the cottage comfy, very well equipped and with beautiful views in the garden (and friendly cows who came to visit us). We loved the mountain biking in Brechfa Forest and great that we could cycle straight there from the cottage. Thanks Steve and Cara for a lovely week, we are already discussing our next visit!
