Lothlorien Cottage

Lovely cottage but on a noisy road. Beautiful garden. Everything we needed including food essentials on arrival. Bonus to be able to park off road at the end of the garden. What puts us off staying again however was the bedding. Did not smell clean and fresh, pillows old, flat and stained, duvets the same. No smell of fresh laundry. We bought some pillows at Tesco on the first day as we didn't want to use those supplied.

Good Location

Good location, but the cottage was far too cluttered for our liking, so this make it hard for the cottage to be really clean. Time for an update I think - double bed frame very creaky. Bedding & towels clean and kitchen had everything we needed. We had a nice stay visiting lots of places including our friends.

Cosy cottage

The experience of renting the cottage was easy. The cottage itself was warm, cosy with everything you needed. The garden was a good size but not secure so your dogs could get out, also the edges needed cutting back to allow you to walk on the path. Apart from these couple of things we really enjoyed out stay and would certainly return.

Cosy cottage!

This was a great location for our holiday. Lots of places to see. Cottage was ‘oldie worldie’ and had character. All facilities were good. Bath is lovely. Double bed had a soft mattress so didn’t sleep great. I’m used to a firm mattress. Personal preference really. Welcome pack was great. There is a long garden at the back which was our little doggy loved running around in. Only thing missing is a dishwasher.

Excellent location to access the Welsh countryside and coastline. Really nice, long garden. Suitable for families, though the living room is very compact. Ideal for a family of 5, a bit over crowded for 6. Fully stocked for self catering, though missing a few utensils/dishes here and there. A larger fridge-freezer, more updated games and DVDs would have helped. Overall, we enjoyed our stay though a few minor tweaks would have made it 10/10.

A Perfect Oasis, Perfect Cottage, Lovely Garden and Brilliant Caretaker to help with everything!

I was so very blessed with this lovely property. I needed a two week stay and am a cook and an avid lover of the garden so all my needs were met in Lothlorien cottage. The cottage is beautifully appointed with everything anyone could possibly need. I was very comfortable here and was given so much help and support by Caron, the property caretaker as well as brilliant communication from Beverley the owner. The bed I slept in was so comfy with gorgeous linens and a variety of pillows which I loved. I love to cook and the kitchen was equipped as well as my own, everything I could possibly have needed, great internet, TV, a garden with a barbeque, wonderfully cozy with great heat and the bath! Oh I loved that bath. On demand hot water, lovely towels, so many special extras like sweets and info on the local area...did I mention that Caron, the caretaker was an absolute angel? I so enjoyed the cottage garden and the fact that wonderful local walks are available from out the back garden. I can't believe I found such a perfect place. I am already looking forward to my next visit back to the charming Lothlorien Cottage. I felt like I was home and it was one of my favourite VRBO or Airbnb stays ever. Thank you so very much for providing this gem of a place.

Cottage stay

Both Caron and Beverly was lovely. Beverly kept in contact throughout our stay. Caron was very thoughtful and and bought a few things in like bread, cheese, wine and toilet rolls encase we hadn't had a chance to go to the shops, the cupboards was also stocked with essentials, kitchen roll and cleaning products was available. The garden is beautiful and my dog thoroughly enjoyed running around in it. The beds was really comfortable and soft my mother had a little problem with the bed but that's cause she's used to sleeping in an adjustable bed as She can't sleep flat. My son and his friend enjoyed playing hide and seek and using the WiFi and going to the nearby shop. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you Beverly and Caron.

Delightful. Well equipped and lots of extra thoughtful touches. Comfortable, warm, welcoming, clean. Great welcome pack. Delightful garden. Convenient location. Helpful owners. The only slight drawback is a fairly busy road at the front of the property. However the front is secured by a wall and a gate so is dog and child safe.

Lovely comphy, cosy cottage. Very clean and tidy, with EVERYTHING that you need, and a great garden

We went to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday, the whole family, and all thoroughly enjoyed their stay. We are not the people for strenuous pastimes, but if you do like to hike or bike or run all of your environmental needs are right outside the door. We went to celebrate and chill out. To eat well, the eateries around here sure know how to cook, and to enjoy each others company and get a little R&R. Beverley made arranging this break so easy, have had some real idiots in the past, and Caron was simply great. We can't thank either of them enough. We really do recommend this little bit of heaven with no qualms at all. The Walker & Lord families.

sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft, alles vorhanden was man braucht und intakt, sauber, sehr freundliche und engagierte Gastgeberin, der Garten zweckmäßig, könnte allerdings öfter mal gegärtnert werden, ziemlich entfernt von den touristischen Attraktionen (0,5 h bis Llandeilo, 1,5h bis Strand bzw Cardiff, 2 h bis Pembroke, Abervagenny), das sollte man vorher berücksichtigen. Ansonsten gibt es nichts zu beanstanden. , Preis/Leistungsverhältnis gut, empfehlenswert

Excellent séjour dans une maison fort agréable

Maison très agréable et cosy. Adaptée pour une famille avec 2 enfants : elle a une taille idéale (particulièrement la cuisine qui a accueilli des parties de cream tea fort sympathiques tout en admirant le bal des oiseaux qui ne manquent pas), les jeux de société ont été très appréciés, et le jardin est spacieux et coquet (avec un beau point de vue sur la barrière de ferme en contre-bas et les moutons vagabonds !) Le bourg de Cwmgors est un carrefour de routes très intéressant pour rejoindre toute destination, notamment le Parc des Brecon Beacons qui est juste sublime et offre des panoramas époustouflants sur la région et la côte. La propriétaire , Beverley, tout comme son référent sur place, Caron, sont très sympathiques et réactifs à toute sollicitation. Nous recommandons !

Nice base for a stay in southern Wales

We really enjoyed our stay at Lothlorien Cottage. It is a small house, suited for up to five persons. Everyting was clean and we found everyting we needed. The house and especially the kitchen was good equipped. We stayed with a toddler and were offered a cot and a high chair. The stairs are quite steep, but our two-year-old loved climbing them up and down. The cottage is situated nicely at the foot of Brecon Beacon Nationalpark. You need a car for getting anywhere, but you can easily reach the beach, hiking trails or Swansea. We only missed a public playground nearby, which is not a fault of the house and the big backgarden compensated somewhat. Special thanks go to Caron and Beverley who welcomed us warmly and were always caring.
