About

We have two beautiful cottages. One is a traditional cottage with an Aga, beams, log burner and an outdoor Bath House. The other is a small cabin with enclosed veranda, hot tub and far reaching views. (1) We need help with modifying a cabin bed, to make it slightly larger. (2)We need help to finish laying a few floor boards on our landing. (3) We need help finishing a small part of the car park, laying a membrane and shale (4) I would like someone to teach me how to set up meta ads (5) We need help tidying up our flower boarder and raised vegetable beds (6) we need help to wallpaper a small section and painting

Local area

We are situated just outside the village of Llangadog and the local pub is a six minute walk away. The local market towns of Llandeilo and Llandovery are 5 miles equal distance away and we are situated beneath the Black Mountain. There is lots to do in the area, walking or hiking, visit some of the local castles or the lovely market towns or simply relax and take life easy enjoying the peaceful, stunning surroundings or snuggle up with a book by the log burner.

The map shows the approximate area. The exact location is shared once a stay is confirmed.
