Balance complete relaxation with exhilarating outdoor adventures when you stay at this chic cottage for six. Surrounded by glorious countryside, you’ll have all the space and rural views you need to lift your spirits and feel thoroughly refreshed. After a long day on your feet exploring Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, sink into the private hot tub to savour a long, soothing soak under the stars.
This converted milking parlour has airy interiors that combine exposed wooden beams and sloping eaves with modern home comforts. At its heart is an open-plan living area that brings the lounge, kitchen and dining spaces together. Rest weary walking muscles in the lounge as you read, do a holiday quiz or flick through the Smart TV to find something to watch. The sleek wooden dining table is a focal point for mealtimes where you can all gather to chat about your day. In warm weather, open the patio doors and spill out onto the terrace for a morning coffee or evening BBQ. Three bedrooms provide quiet spaces to drift off to sleep. Two are on the ground floor, while a third is upstairs.
A visit to Laugharne, 10 miles away, will show you why famed Welsh poet Dylan Thomas was so inspired by this beguiling town on the Taf Estuary. A day trip to Folly Farm Adventure Park (18.5 miles) provides fun for all the family thanks to its vintage fairground rides and zoo inhabited by lions, penguins and endangered black rhinos. If it’s golden beaches you’re after, head to Llansteffan (13 miles) or Saundersfoot (19.5 miles), where you can paddle, sail or stretch your legs along the coastal path.
