Guests say
Little House in Whitland is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and charming garden with bird-watching opportunities. Guests appreciate the warm welcome from the host and the property's character. It serves as a good base for exploring South West Wales, despite some concerns about comfort and the absence of a local pub.
Guests consistently note the cottage's immaculate condition, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property is valued for its great location as a touring centre for South West Wales, with easy access to the coast and local walks, although the absence of a village pub is noted.
While many find the cottage cosy and the lounge comfy, there are remarks about uncomfortable furniture and a mismatched mattress, suggesting room for improvement in comfort.
The property is described as well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are comments about an underpowered shower and excessive wooden furniture, which slightly detract from the overall facilities rating.
While guests mention a warm welcome and the provision of bird feed, there are no specific references to gifts, and thus it is not possible to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts.
About this property
Tucked away in the tranquil village of Llanboidy in Carmarthenshire is this traditional cottage, Little House. Within close proximity to amenities including a local village shop and boasting a well-equipped kitchen and woodburning stove with additional oil heater, Little House welcomes two guests and their four-legged companion for a truly rural getaway in unspoiled South Wales. After crossing the threshold into your new home-from-home, sink into the futon in the sitting room which can be used as a sofa or bed and relax in the warmth of a woodburning stove as your significant other cooks up a storm. Sit down at the dining table and tuck into a feast, reflecting on your favourite memories so far over a bottle of wine, or venture outside and bask in your surroundings a little longer on the private patio. When the sun sets, ascend the stairs and wash away the day in an en-suite shower room before clambering into a sumptuous double bed. Take a walk along one of the many footpaths around the village and if you can tear yourself away from your rural idyll, meet some of the local furry occupants at Pembrokeshire Llamas, the ideal tourist hotspot for animal lovers. Visit Laugharne to take in the stunning architecture of Laugharne Castle and soak up the history of the life and times of Dylan Thomas, before dipping your toes into the sand pathways at Llansteffan Beach. Have a picnic at Colby Woodland near Amroth, which is managed by the National Trust and make sure you take in the spectacular Wales Coast Path along the way. You'll never run out of things to do because the mythical Preseli Hills, the birthplace of Stonehenge is on your doorstep and a short drive will take you to the bustling and historic market town of Carmarthen. Whisk your loved one away to Little House for an unforgettable trip to West Wales.
Llanboidy is a tiny Welsh village with two inns, a Spar store, and a post office. The closest town is St Clears, a small community located inland between Carmarthen and the Pembrokeshire coast's seaside attractions. The region is perfect for walkers, cyclists, and explorers alike and is great for visiting the South Wales coastline. The mound of the 12th-century St. Clears Castle can still be seen in St. Clears, which also contains a number of shops, taverns, and restaurants. The town also hosts numerous festivals and carnivals throughout the year.

Stephen welcomed us and checked that all was well. We really enjoyed feeding the birds with the food provided and their antics made for an interesting breakfast! Llanboidy is an interesting old village with lots of footpaths into the surrounding countryside. It has good access to many interesting places - of note the Botanic Gardens of Wales and Laugharne, home of Dylan Thomas. It should be noted that there is no longer a pub in the village which means travelling to St Clears or further afield if you want to eat out.

It gave me the stress free break I needed. The cottage was a sweet environment well equipped and comfortable. I would certainly recommend a stay there.
