Troedyrhiw is a sanctuary, a two bedroom, detached, character stone and beamed cottage nestling in a peaceful, wooded valley on the Carmarthenshire/Pembrokeshire border where nature is thriving.
We are happy to welcome well behaved dogs to the cottage.
Troedyrhiw is the perfect base for being in nature, walking, cycling and exploring the scenic areas of this beautiful part of West Wales.
The cottage was built in the 1800's and is a traditional, stone Welsh cottage.

The space
Cosy, rural, two bedroom retreat for rest, relaxation or time with friends and family. Situated in a beautiful and peaceful valley, but not far (4 miles) from charming towns and villages that are great for shopping and dining out.

Troedyrhiw cottage is fitted out with very good quality fixtures and fittings.

Downstairs there is a fitted kitchen (wth an oven, hob, fridge with small freezer compartment, microwave and dishwasher) and a living room with beamed ceiling and a wood burning stove. There is also a lovely conservatory that looks over the garden and valley.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a wonderfully comfortable large main bedroom with a kingsized bed and fitted wardrobe and a smaller, cosy second bedroom with comfortable bunk beds.
(There is a Fillikid travel cot in the main bedroom wardrobe).
The bathroom is upstairs and has a bath, with electric shower over, basin, toilet and heated towel rail.
We love our cottage and make an effort to furnish it well and make it comfortable for our guests. We hope you have a wonderful stay.

Guest access
We are lucky to have 15 acres of meadows and woodland in the valley, so there is always at least one private meadow for you to walk, picnic or just relax by the river. There are also plenty of wonderful walks and places to visit in the local area.

Troedyrhiw Cottage also has its own garden which is next to but separated by a fence from it’s sister cottage, Betty’s Cottage. (The two cottages are adjacent to each other but detached with their own gardens.)

If you would like to bring your four-legged friend, this is a doggie friendly cottage for well behaved and house-trained pets, please let us know if you are bringing your dog (s).

Therefore, we provide a landline phone in the cottage (with answer phone on it) so you can call UK landline and mobile numbers. (We request that our guests are mindful not to use the phone for over an hour per call, as the call charge increases a lot once an hour is up).
