Ideally situated to explore all areas of Carmarthenshire
A lovely property that catered for all of our needs. In the current Covid-19 crisis the additional precautions were not onerous and we adapted easily. The property owner had a wide knowledge of the area and was able to help and advise as required. Would love to visit again

Peaceful Lication
The Red Kite Cottage was peaceful and well fitted. There was an amazing view and space to breathe. We were interested in finding Welsh ancestral town and sites and Nicki was wonderful in sharing her knowledge of the area. The Red Kite cottage location was perfect for exploring Carmarthenshire. I hope we can return in the near future.

Beautiful cottage with helpful, friendly owner
We booked a week here and thoroughly enjoyed it, although the weather was "changeable" at best! The cottage is clean, well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water.
Nicki is an excellent host and spent a lot of time telling us what there was to do and how to get to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage and would recommend it.

Had an amazing stay in Red Kite Cottage. We spent 4 days there and can't complain about anything. the cottage was well equipped and had everything we could have possibly wanted. Nicola, the owner, made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend the cottage for both couples and families.

Nice cottage, nice location.
The cottage has everything you need for any length of stay. Nicki will help in any way on where to go and what to do locally, and beyond in the lovely county of Carmarthenshire. With wild Red Kites soaring above over the farmland and lots of tame chickens in the farmyard, bird fanciers will have a field day.
The cottage has Wifi which is very handy, but we think w.w.w really stands for Wild West Wales....Enjoy.

Leuke cottage, met een heel mooi uitzicht!
Het was een fijne en mooie plek om te zijn. Een leuke cottage, met alles erin wat nodig is en ook heel netjes verzorgd. Een heel mooi uitzicht. Nicki is een vriendelijke en behulpzame vrouw, ze gaf veel tips. Er is heel veel informatie te vinden wat je er kan doen in de omgeving. Het huisje is rolstoeltoegankelijk, maar wanneer je volledig rolstoelafhankelijk bent dan is het ondanks de mooie plek misschien toch minder geschikt. De douche heeft een opstap en er is geen douchestoel of plastic tuinstoel, wel een steun.

Sehr schönes Cottage, nette Vermieterin
Das Red Kite Cottage ist liebevoll eingerichtet, war bei unserer Ankunft sehr sauber und ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Es liegt sehr ländlich in schöner Umgebung, die nächstgrößere Stadt ist jedoch in 8 min erreichbar. Das Cottage ist perfekt um ruhige Tage zu verbringen und gut gelegen, um Ausflüge sowohl an die Küste, als auch in die Bracon Beacons zu machen. Im Cottage liegt jede Menge Infomaterial zu möglichen Unternehmungen aus und Nicki gibt diesbezüglich gerne Tipps.

Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung
Die Ferienwohnung ist geräumig, gemütlich und sehr gut ausgestattet - vom Wäscheständer mit Klammern bis zu den Kochutensilien. Das Bett ist groß genug, um auch längeren Menschen zu ermöglichen, zu zweit darin zu schlafen (was ja in Großbritannien nach unserer Erfahrung nicht immer der Fall ist..). Es hat kein Fußende und die Matratze ist gut. Und für den Fall aller Fälle gibt es ja noch in einem weiteren Schlafzimmer drei Einzelbetten, ebenfalls mit guten Matratzen.
Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und aufgeschlossen und kennt sich super in der Gegend aus. In der Ferienwohnung findet sich zudem wohlsortiert eine Fülle von Material zu möglichen Aktivitäten in Carmarthenshire. Der Sitzplatz draußen ist ebenfalls einladend - auch wenn wir ihn aufgrund des Wetters leider nicht nutzen konnten.
Wir haben uns in dieser Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt und können sie uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen!

Wunderschönes Cottage mit schöner Aussicht in der Nähe von Carmarthen
Perfekter Urlaub, bei sehr freundlicher Gastgeberin mit vielen Tips zu Entdeckungszielen.
Liegt ziemlich im Zentrum von Südwales so das man viele sehenswerte Ziele gut erreichen kann. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber und gepflegt.
Werden wir jedem weiterempfehlen!
Leider viel zu kurzer Urlaub.
