Room to breathe.
Your own little corner of country life
A beautiful country escape
The lanes narrow, the hills draw closer, and the familiar demands of home begin to feel a little further away. Here near Llangadog, the countryside sets the scene: fields beyond the village, red kites overhead and the Black Mountain rising in the distance.
Unpack, put the kettle on and take a look outside. There is a country walk waiting, a village pub to wander to and a lovely place to come home to afterwards.

Make coffee in your own kitchen and take it out to the covered veranda, spend the morning settled watching the fields. After a day exploring, come back for a soak, light the wood burner and snuggle into the curtained cabin bed and watch a movie.

Days that take you
somewhere else
A romantic cabin for a celebration. A luxurious country cottage for a few days away together. Somewhere you can imagine yourself before you have even arrived.
Country life
Linger over breakfast for two on Y Golchdy’s sheltered veranda, with the fields stretching out beyond you. Pull up a chair, share something delicious and let the morning unfold at its own pace.
Follow a country lane
Set off together along local lanes and footpaths, past hedgerows and fields, with the hills opening up ahead. Some days call for a village wander and a short walk.
Evening bathing
Gablebach’s private, enclosed bathhouse is a romantic retreat for two, surrounded by nature. Sink into warm water together as candles flicker around you, a secluded sanctuary to enjoy all year round.
Beneath the stars
As darkness settles over Y Golchdy, take the telescope onto the veranda and explore the night sky together. On clear nights, linger over constellations and quiet moments beneath the stars.
Beyond your door
The countryside beyond your cottage
This corner of Carmarthenshire offers a lovely balance of village life and open country. Explore the western reaches of Bannau Brycheiniog, discover the independent shops and galleries of Llandeilo, or spend an afternoon among the gardens at Aberglasney. There are market towns, castles and mountain roads to shape a day around.

Into the Black Mountain
Others take you further into the Black Mountain, towards the lakes of Llyn y Fan Fach and Llyn y Fan Fawr, where the scale of the landscape changes everything.
Through the seasons
Fresh green fields in spring, long summer evenings, autumn colour and winter days that end beside the fire. A return visit can feel like discovering the same place all over again.
Dogs are welcome here too
If a country holiday would feel incomplete without your dog, bring them along. Both cottages welcome dogs, with walking routes, outdoor spaces and plenty of opportunities to explore together.
Wander to the pub
Walk into the village for a drink at a local pub, enjoy being somewhere different, and make your way back to your own cottage. An evening that needs only a coat and a stroll.
