  The only good thing about this cottage was the cat that visited us daily, he was absolutely gorgeous, aside from his company, the stay was awful.

  We had expected more from all the great reviews recently written. The first night, we got into the hottub and immediately my legs started to itch terribly, we didn't stay long in the hottub due to this discomfort and when we got out, our legs were red raw, we immediately attempted to wash what we assumed was too much chlorine off, in the shower but still our legs remained itchy and sore. The shower is a wet room and the flooring is not designed for this purpose, it is so slippery and I ended up slipping and falling on the floor that same evening, fortunately I did not hurt myself too badly. We then decided to have some food, only to find that there was nothing in sight to take anything out of the oven, no oven glove or tea towel so we gave up and went to bed, which was the most uncomfortable experience, the bedding looked as if it should have been thrown away years back. It was awful quality and rough. The next morning, we decided to speak to the owner about the hot tub and then go out for the day and try to make the most of the weekend. We would pick up some tea towels and attempt the hotub again that evening. I will say that the owner was very nice about the hottub situation and did say it would be sorted by the time we got back. Although, she did mention that it had been checked before we arrived. That evening, the owner came to see us and advised us that the hottub had been emptied and refilled and that the issue was that there had been too much chlorine in there (even though it had been checked)? We gave the hot tub another try but didn't last long in there before we had to get out again. I'm not sure if the damage had already been done and our skin could take no more or if the issue had not been resolved. We did not return to the hottub after that, which is a shame as we'd only chosen this cottage due to the covered hot tub. The other issue with our stay was the lack of attention to detail where cleanliness was concerned. The house was generally clean, such as the beds and worktops but the draining board looked as if it had not been cleaned in months and I'd had to scrub it clean to be able to put any clean utensils on it. The bathroom mirror had long hairs all over it and the bathroom walls were mouldy. We had initially thought we would go home on the Friday but decided to make the most of being away by going into Saundersfoot and Tenby but we were really disappointed in this cottage and this put a dampener on the whole weekend. To top it all off, due to the chemical burns from the hot tub, when we got home, our skin was bad for over a week and we had to get treatment from the pharmacy. We will not be visiting this place again. I wasn't going to leave a review but thought people needed to be warned about the hot tub and very dangerous bathroom floor. I'm fortunate that I am quite young and didn't hurt myself when I fell but I would be concerned if this happened to an older person.

  This is the first time we, as a family, have ever booked a cottage type break away - it won't be the last.

  This is a delightful cottage and far exceeded the expectations from the already wonderful pictures you see here. It is spacious with 2 sitting rooms. The main sitting room has a log burner with everything provided to get it going. I've no idea how to use one, but I gave it a go and had a nice fire going. Has a TV with all the usual channels and iplayer etc. The other sitting room is equally as nice but you may need your own firestick there if you want to watch the television. But we didn't do much telly watching - so only briefly looked. Kitchen diner is massive! All you need to cook is here. Very good quality throughout. Ensuite main bedroom. Make sure you pull the blind down (You'll see!). Bed is extremely comfy. The children reported the same from there room too! Now, the cottage is on a main road, so there is a bit of traffic noise - but to be honest its not really an issue. The boiler clicks a bit in the main bedroom when the heating comes on but again you're being uber picky if this is an issue. The outside is just lovely. You can spend hours in the hot tub, listening to tunes if you want, or the blissful sound of absolute calm. It is really secluded too so no one can see round the back. There is a lovely little welcome back - and a folder with all you need to know about the cottage and the area. A brilliant touch. As it says, everything is a bit of a drive away, but an ideal base for exploring Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Our only regret is not being able to stay a bit longer. Out two asked when we were going back. I said I didn't know - but we will be going back to this beautifully presented cottage.

  If you need to escape the hustle and bustle Cambriol is the place!

  The owners were extremely welcoming, tea and freshly baked welsh cakes on arrival. Plenty of clean towels and fresh bedding. No details have been left out with this property, it finished off to an excellent standard. By far the best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in. Clean, beautiful and the views from the property down into the valley are fabulous! We booked the property knowing the hot tub was housed instead of the usual cottages that have an outside hot tub. This was by far the best decision we made knowing the changes in the Welsh weather. It was worth every penny. The hot tub was lovely and warm and of the larger size too, with a shower in the hot tub house and amazing views , across the valley and hills, just perfect! Who ever visits Cambriol will not be disappointed!

  This cottage is just as described.

  It's cosy, has lots of space and was just perfect for our Christmas getaway. There was a Christmas tree and decorations that made it a perfect home away from home. The log fire place also added that touch of cosiness. The beds were comfortable, the duvets and pillows were all very comfy and warm too. The kitchen and dining area was so spacious, even with us all getting things ready for our Christmas dinner. The garden setting and hot tub were such bonus. It was great being able to just relax, with music on and in such an isolated area. We didn't go out and about much, but that wasn't the purpose for our getaway. We literally just wanted to chill and have fun with the family. We would love to go back and will definitely be recommending this property.

  Absolutely stunning cottage, furnished beautifully and very modern.

  The under floor heating is added luxury, we stayed in late January and was lovely and warm. Kitchen has everything you need, and the welsh cakes on arrival went down a treat. We lay in most mornings because the bed is so comfy, but the location is close to Carmarthen and other interesting spots so don’t need to be up at the crack of dawn. The hot tub is huge! Lovely lights and you can play your own music through the speakers via blue tooth. You have plastic glasses to enjoy nice drink there too. If it gets too hot you can open the sliding doors to an amazing view of the countryside. The owner is really lovely, available if we ever needed anything. Can’t believe the luxury we got for the price, would definitely return.
