  What an amazing find!

  Everything was just perfect from the lovely friendly warm greeting and thoughtful gifts of a bottle of cold Prosecco in the fridge plus the owners own estate honey and welsh cakes waiting for us on arrival to the super-comfy four-poster bed, ensuring the best nights sleep away from home we can ever remember. Beautifully and thoughtfully furnished and decorated cottage to a very high standard with everything in pristine condition plus fresh flower decorations and scented reed diffusers strategically placed which filled the air with wonderful smells on arrival. Such a beautiful well kept estate and grounds inside a secure entrance, and just metres from a large tranquil lake with only the sounds of birds breaking the silence allowed us to instantly relax into our new surroundings. Nothing was too much trouble which helped to ensure we enjoyed one of the most memorable weeks away ever. Every possible need was catered for down to the logs for the wood burner which allowed us to enjoy cosy evenings together plus even brand new wellies to ensure we could roam the grounds in all weather conditions. A complete and comprehensive welcome pack together with local information and every possible service contact number you could think of plus a wide range of leaflets providing information on local sites and places to visit together with magazines and books to interest everyone were thoughtfully laid out strategically to greet us in the dining room, and gave us total confidence that the owners knew exactly what matters to everyone on vacation or looking for a home from home. All possible needs were catered for with two fridge freezers (one became our not so mini bar!) a washing machine and heated clothes airer, and a well equipped kitchen. The private garden area with al-fresco dining area and barbecue unfortunately couldn't be put to the test as the weather was not the best but it didn't stop us having a truly wonderful week away and visiting relatives in the area. We are all very much looking forward to returning as soon as we can, and know that anyone else enjoying a break here will also be eager to return too; we just hope (very selfishly) it doesn't prove so popular that availability becomes difficult to impossible as we suspect may well be the case. Thank you so very very much Jemma and Sarn, and please say hello to Jet and Maple for us :-)

  Lovely stay at Taf cottage with the extended family.

  Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped (under counter fridge with ice box a little small but manageable) and the hot tub was excellent. There’s a new walk-in shower in the main bathroom (replaced the bath in photos) which was a nice surprise and not an issue as we’d brought a baby bath with us. Muriel was very welcoming, kindly leaving us some wine and an Easter egg on arrival and was very helpful during our stay, with recommendations of places to visit and walks with the dog. We would recommend Brechfa forest walks, although the roads to the Keeper’s car park are very narrow! Aberglasney gardens are well worth a visit and the National Botanical gardens were also good, providing a week long ticket so you could revisit. The cottage is situated about 8 minutes from the A40, in peaceful countryside, so would recommend bringing key food supplies with you when you arrive. We found a good range of supermarkets in Carmarthen about 20 mins away. Lovely restful break with easy access to some stunning beaches about 30 mins away.

  A really damp smell in the bathroom ,due to ill fitting(leaking) shower screen.

  Somuch so that all of our belongings still have a musty smell to them. Also there were so many mosquitoes indoors ( which might have been caused by the damp) we got bit so many times that by the Tuesday night we’d made our minds up that we would go home.The bad weather coming in was also contributory but not the prime reason as we understand the weather cannot be guaranteed! The towels were starting to smell (despite having taken our own for the hot tub) as we were not given any hand towels. The lane approaching the cottage was very narrow and we were told that not much traffic used it but on lots of occasions we were forced to reverse(vehicles would continue to push at us, forcing us back)We should have been warned of this. In all, we were very disappointed.We paid £463.00 for Friday night -Wednesday morning so not a very good deal!

  A second visit to celebrate my 70th.

  Beautiful location. Peaceful...(till we got there) We had such a relaxing time and were lovely and warm . I need a walker to get about and the cottage is fully accessible, though a wheelchair might have a bit of a problem cos of some tight corners....please check. I think I mentioned last time that , being picky, I felt the pillows were a bit thin.....and this time, brand new lovely bouncy pillows. Really comfy beds and sofa. Great warm welcome.Thank you. One of our party said they wanted a bigger frying pan....but we are little piggies with our trotters in the trough much of the time....so you will probably find it all adequate. Definitely recommend Taf Cottage. Thank you for a lovely stay.
