This 3-bedroom cottage is a converted former milking parlour in West Wales near Carmarthen, sleeping six guests. The conversion retains exposed wooden beams and sloping eaves while delivering bright open-plan living with patio doors that open onto an elevated patio with far-reaching views across the Welsh countryside.

The setting is genuinely special. Panoramic countryside views stretch in every direction and the elevated patio is perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. After a day on the local footpaths or cycle trails you can sink into the hot tub under the stars and this is one of its best features.

Three bedrooms sleep six. A ground-floor king-size has an en-suite shower room with walk-in shower and WC. A ground-floor twin and a first-floor king-size share a family bathroom with bath, walk-in shower and WC. Two ground-floor bedrooms make this practical for those who prefer to avoid stairs.

Laugharne is 10 miles away with its medieval castle and Dylan Thomas connections. Folly Farm Adventure Park is 18.5 miles. Saundersfoot Beach is 19.5 miles. Cenarth Falls is 16.5 miles.

This getaway suits families and groups of friends who want countryside peace with proper modern comforts. Two dogs are welcome too.
