What our guests say
Big Cwtch Shepherd’s Hut – PERFECT!
The Big Cwtch is in a private field and has a wood burning hot tub, fire pit, hob, fridge bathroom with shower, super comfy bed and the best views!! The hut was spotlessly clean and had everything you’d need for a great stay. The hot tub was a highlight. Could not think of a more perfect way to spend an evening than sitting there taking in the views with a glass of wine!

Fantastic family few days in the lovely barn conversion
We have just had four nights with a family group including four young children (aged 1 to 5) in the lovely barn. It was absolutely perfect and the facilities suited all our needs. The setting is stunning and in a perfect location for Pembrey forest and the coast.
Christine H
Wonderful short break
Our recent stay at Y Felin for a family get together was all we could have hoped for. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, well equipped and a beautiful setting with lovely views across the estuary. Thank you so much Peter and Ann, we would have no hesitation in recommending a stay with you.
