  Just returned from our wonderful holiday at The Mill and Stable.

  This was our second visit to the barns, having stayed at The Old Cow Barn last year. The barns are well laid out, especially for a wheelchair user. The adjustable care bed and wet room are invaluable and so difficult to find in other properties. Andrew, the owner, was very friendly and able to provide commode and shower chairs if needed, as well as hiring a hoist if required at a very reasonable price. Andrew was in touch during the week to ensure all was well (which it was). The barn, though big is very homely and warm, with all the equipment you could want for a self catering holiday. The “welcome basket “ was greatly appreciated and the bara brith and welsh cakes went down a treat with the wine provided. The barns are in a small village, up a hill as previously mentioned but with a lovely view of the countryside and the sea from the upstairs double bedroom. A car is needed but within easy access to attractions and places of interest. By car: 5 minutes from Laugharne, in one direction (small shop and few pubs) and Pendine (10 minutes) in the other ( lovely Chinese restaurant and beach), and 25 minutes from Carmarthen (big Tesco and Morrison supermarkets). Amroth is 20 minutes away (beach, shop and pubs), Saundersfoot is 25 minutes away and Tenby is 30 minutes away. Within 60-90 minutes are Swansea and the Gower and the Pembroke National Coastal Park. I would highly recommend The Mill and Stable (and The Old Cow Barn). We are already planning our return next year.

  Having planned to take my elderly mother from Newport, Shropshire, for a week's holiday with my sister in Abergavenny, I suddenly found myself needing to make alternative arrangements when we heard that my sister had become unwell.

  It was too short notice to book online, so I called Sykes who checked and established that my initial two choices of properties couldn't be made available in time, but the staff were very helpful, calling me back and suggesting others I could look at. My third attempt was The Old Cow Barn near Laugharne and we made the 150 mile journey that same Monday afternoon for a 5-night stay. We arrived after dark and were delighted to find this cluster of three converted barns surrounding a courtyard area beautifully illuminated with strings of colourful led lights and dancing Christmassy images projected upon the white walls of the barns. It was a jolly and welcoming sight. Upon entering the barn, we were further warmed to see a lovely lighted Christmas tree and other festive decorations - and a very nice welcome pack on the table. The furnishing is simple, cosy and well-thought out, with lots of lovely beams, a gorgeous mezzanine floor with its twin bedroom and own bathroom in addition to the two ground floor bedrooms and wet room. My other sister and brother in law joined us for three days and we all really loved this holiday home. The owners were really kind and helpful, too, and we could not fault the hospitality. We also enjoyed exploring Laugharne, as well as Tenby and Carmarthen which are within easy reach by car. We would definitely recommend Sykes and the Laugharne Barns to anyone considering a holiday in this region.

  What a wonderful stay we had at The Mill and Stable .

  Our party was 3 generations and the accommodation afforded us all the comfort and space to enjoy. Our doggies thought so too. Being disabled myself, I really appreciated the ground floor twin with adjoining wet room and also the ease of manoeuvrability around the ground floor lounge and kitchen diner area. . It was all really clean, with cream bed linen and curtains and fluffy towels . We enjoyed mostly meals out (try The Carpenters in the village!) and takeaways but if you wanted to self cater the kitchen was very well equipped with everything a family would need . Grandkids were chuffed with broadband speed for all their devices and we enjoyed the smart TV access to YouTube, Netflix etc. We had a generous welcome pack of delicious Welsh cakes and biscuits from our host Andrew who could not do enough for us. Thanks Andrew, the Mill and Stable is definitely worth a return visit

  The outside of the house looked a lot nicer in the pic than in reality.

  The owner's adjacent home looks rundown and the outside area around the house was unappealing. However, inside the mill and stable was perfectly comfortable. It was clean enough, although we had to scrub the oven before we could use it to remove layers of cooking fat. There were a lot of flies too inside which wasn't pleasant but a hazard of being in a farming region. The only other bug bear were the external lights on the two cottages which were on sensors and flicked on and off during the night. Sleeping in the front downstairs bedroom meant that the lights flashed on and off throughout the night. Owner Ray was perfectly pleasant but it was difficult to access him at times because he has broken his hip. However, he was kind enough to arrange a kettle replacement straight after we requested one as the one in the house was clogged with limescale. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

  This is the second time I have stayed at the barn and can’t recommend it enough.

  The place is very clean and welcoming. Lovely gift basket left full of goodies to enjoy. Everything you need to enjoy your stay from fluffy towels to dishwasher tablets all supplied. Out of the way but only a short drive to all attractions and beaches. There were 7 of us and 2 dogs and loads of space to mingle around. Had a lovely birthday take away on the large farm house table. Table and chairs outside to eat out in the summer. Enclosed front garden so the dogs were safe to run around to. Will definitely be booking again later in the year. Had a high five from everyone in my family for choosing such a super place. Had no problems but knew the owners were close at hand if needed and sent a lovely message hoping we had enjoyed our stay and a safe journey home.
