About Great Welsh Escapes

A beautifully laid out cottage in a lovely area of wales. Well situated for the beach or for exploring Carmarthebshire or Pembrokeshire… or just staying in in comfort. Good sized kitchen with all you’d need and a supportive host.

The whole place was fantastic, Hazel has thought of everything. From the welcome pack to the personal greeting nothing was too much trouble.
The grandchildren had a great weekend and the hot tub and games room were the cherry on top.

Wow
Stayed for three nights .
Great hosts they went over and above .
the quality of the interior is incredible . Great to see a proud man and mastercraftsman create something special . if thats got you wondering ... get booked
within a five minute walk there is a pub with a restaurant that's top level .
felt at home , great location .
again thank you for the perfect break

My wife and I spend a very peaceful week here for a much-needed getaway. We loved the gothic features of this converted school house; it was unique and extremely comfortable. There is a beautifully appointed kitchen and we found everything we needed as we self-catered for at least half the time. For the two of us, the conservatory space was perfect for meals, and the comfy sofas in the lounge area were a delight. We had great weather, mostly, but even on the odd chilly days, the heating and hot water worked splendidly. We also appreciated the well-stocked library and little touches like tea and fresh ground coffee. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and would love to stay at this special place again!

A lovely and cosy air bnb, we loved every second of our stay there. The bed was very comfortable, the record player was a great touch, the bathroom and kitchen had everything that we need and more, and the fire place set a lovely mood for the evening. Overall an amazing stay, would definitely recommend and we’d definitely stay here again.

A wonderful and beautiful home, with a very cost and relaxing feel. It is great for wanting to get away from the buzz of people with a fantastic beach less than 5 mins away. Very well presented and a great place to stay. Enjoy, we did!!

Accommodation was excellent, kitchen well equipped, just what we wanted.

Milk Tray chocolates were just the ticket on arrival.

there was nothing we did not like.

Very comfortable property in a great location to enjoy all the amenities of Laugharne and explore both Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.
Spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

The Old School House was just perfect for our Christmas away .
The place was spotless , it was decorated for Christmas which was lovely .
It is even better in real life than the pictures and was so much bigger .
My family of 4 and our 2 dogs has plenty of room.
The location of Brook was quiet and peaceful and only 2 & 1/2 miles in either direction to reach the next place .
Laugharne was very pretty and we walked around the castle , we visited Dylan Thomas writing Shed .
The local shop had all we needed .
In the other direction was Pendine and we took the dogs for a run on the beach on Christmas Day .
We would definitley recommend and would love to return .

Stayed for a week with my family over the summer. The Hidden Valley is beautiful - newly decorated, super comfy sofas and beds, kitchen fully equipped (they have thought of everything!), and the snug is a real bonus. It was fantastic to walk out of the bedroom door in the morning and enjoy the spectacular view. I'm a keen stargazer, and the dark skies were an absolute wonder. Got some great photos of the Milky Way and it was a real treat using my telescope. Location-wise, there are so many gorgeous beaches nearby (Tenby, Saundersfoot, Wisemans Bridge, Manorbier and Barafundle were our favourites), lots to do for the kids and for adults, and plenty of places to stock up on amenities just a short drive away. Loved every minute, thank you for a fantastic week!

WOW! This property was absolutely beautiful. The grounds are incredible. The house itself is furnished beautifully, amazing artwork and a mix of modern and an older feel! The property is so quirky, you really won’t find anywhere else like this. Jac was amazing throughout the booking process and whilst at the property too. He even got 50 balloons and a bottle of bubbly for my mum when I said we were coming for her birthday, so kind! Our dog Alfie loved the garden. The fact that this dog friendly makes it even better! Thank you Jac and Great Welsh Escapes for an amazing stay at The Cors! We have made very special memories and I know for certain I will be returning in the future! Everything about this property is brilliant, I miss it already!

Self-catering perfect for us. Location brilliant. Host fantastic.

Bath water not as hot as we would have liked.

This house deserves its name ‘Great House’.
Every room is spacious … and there are a lot of them over 4 floors! Special mention for the magnificent bathrooms!
Rooms full of furniture, splendid paintings and impressive pottery on display.
As for the basics: the house was spotlessly clean, gas central heating is very effective (plus a log fire), the huge beds are very comfortable and the kitchen comes well equipped.

The property was well equipped and very clean. The courtyard was perfect to sit in for an evening drink. The garden was beautiful and well kept. It was a perfect location to visit different places, and going to the beach. Would definitely recommend this property. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing, It was perfect.

Log fire to get cosy
Fully functional kitchen with everything and more
Lots of space for introverts
Awesome pillows
Powerful shower
Castle within walking distance
A really great property

Beautiful house and location! Hot tub and fire pit were lovely additions. Lots of things to do in the area and perfectly situated between the Brecon Beacons and pembrokshire. Only small thing I would say was that there was no tea bags, coffee was limited, no olive oil - Little things like this would make life much easier and don’t cost a lot! Other than this great stay and would stay again. Thanks so much :)

We love Tenby and have visited many, many times - this property was absolutely lovely!

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Sunny Bank, an idyllic and private with every single thing you can imagine. We were provided with a full tea service and dinner set, basics for breakfast, bathrobes and towels for the stay as well as towels for the hot tub. I honestly think every possible amenity was thought about and provided. The cottage is on a family farm and you have complete privacy, esp in the hot tub which made the stay perfect for us.
The owners live down the road and when we told them the engine light had come on, on the car, and we needed to find a garage they came over and sorted the car, we needed oil but they also added screen wash and coolent and gave further advice. They went above and beyond.
You also don't have to worry about the hot tub, they come and treat it for you daily.
These are truly good people

Lovely barn with everything you would need inside. Clean and tidy rooms. Great location for travelling around the area, with Tenby, Fishgaurd and Milford haven close by. We had a lovely Chinese at Pendine too.

Great property with great hosts. Very well stocked house and super cozy! Excellent views.

This little gem of a house far exceeded our expectations. Brilliantly positioned for walks and drives to local beauty spots.
The facilities were top class with everything that you could want for a break.
The real extra benefits for us as a family - heating that could be localised in each room, two bathrooms, perfect size kitchen, cosy living room with a working log burner.
The parking is a bit tricky but you can find local parking within 3 min walk if nothing available outside. (all free).
We had a wonderful stay and will return

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. There was plenty of parking and the beds were comfy. Absolutely ideal. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Very very clean spacious property, which contained everything we needed. Felt very homely. The garden was gorgeous. The beds were very comfortable. Excellent location for exploring.
Equally the surrounding neighbours were very friendly

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

This is a lovely house in a lovely village. We had a great stay and would definitely go back. The house and gardens are very spacious. The house is very well equipped and everything was just perfect. The house is a short walk to the beach and castle.
We would highly recommend the property.
Thank you for the early entry and for the wine and cake, much appreciated.

Wonderful place! Incredibly well kitted out and the owners are wonderful.

Peaceful and beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay, the house was great and provided a comfy and cozy base to explore West Wales from.

Fantastic cottage. It has everything you need for cosy comfortable stay. We loved it. Everything worked beautifully, the cottage had everything we needed. It was all so easy and relaxing and the views are wonderful.

Lovely clean property with everything you need. Situated in a great location.
Hassle free easy check in.

Fantastic holiday property, superb location, wonderful views of the estuary. Absolutely recommend

Fantastic host company would stay with great Welsh escapes again in a heat eat, lovely property with great views.

Clean, well maintained. Close to Pendine village and beach

Nothing

Our hosts Buddig and Lloyd were welcoming, friendly, offering the very best of Welsh rural hospitality. Diolch yn fawr! A generous welcome pack with home made barabrith and their own honey, milk, tea, coffee etc was really appreciated. The location is quiet and beautiful with stunning views.The accommodation is comfortable, spacious and decorated in a 60s/70s theme. We loved the record player!

Lovely little cottage in a great location, it had everything we needed thanks

Nice apartment very close to beach just up the hill. Sea views and well appointed inside.
Parking space was a real bonus for evening visits to town avoided having to pay for parking in town.

Excellent séjour passé à Laugharne, petit village avec un minimum de commodités et de jolies randonnées à faire aux alentours au départde la maison. Le logement était conforme à l'annonce, très propre et fonctionnel. Bon rapport qualité prix pour la région, je recommande !

The best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The house was incredible, it had everything we needed and was beautifully decorated. The gardens were beautiful. We had 4 young children and a dog in our party and so had to keep a really close eye on them as the garden wasn’t fully enclosed and had a couple of ponds. This wasn’t a problem for us at all but other guests may be interested to know about this. Jac was a great host, he responded to messages very quickly and gave us lots of tips about the area etc. The location is great, the village is lovely and a short drive to beautiful beaches. We are looking forward to going back!

Wonderful place! Incredibly well kitted out and the owners are wonderful.

Peaceful and beautiful.

Location and the property was very nice and we liked the courtyard area the garden was very pretty.

The road outside the house was very busy, we come frome a quiet location and we did notice the traffic coming past.

Gorgeous property in a fantastic location. We stayed for a university friends reunion and had a wonderful time. Property itself was stunning, we felt right at home. Location was brilliant, within walking distance to many restaurants, pubs and lovely walks. The driveway up to the house is steep, so beware in icy conditions but other than that, it was perfect. Diolch yn fawr.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place itself was beautiful, it was so family friendly which was perfect for us and our little one, the host went above and beyond in ensuring there was everything you could require.

The weeks break at the barn conversion was 1st class. The accommodation is excellent and the surrounding area stunning - Charlotte and Jerry were wonderful hosts and can’t do enough for you.
A perfect venue for a peaceful retreat, with Tenby, Laugharne etc only a short drive away

It was perfect the cottage had everything we needed. It was cosy and comfortable and really peaceful. Really well thought out accommodation.

Excellent place. Very well kept. Perfect location. All the necessary stuff to make you feel at home is present. All high quality stuff not a penny spared to make us comfortable. Hot tub is amazing. Amazing and very helpful hosts.

Great place to stay with a family. Very clean and in a beautiful location!

Wonderful property in a stunning setting. Everything. You needed and more. Host was extremely friendly and we had a lovely wecome pack and card.

That we had only booked for 4 nights.

It had everything we needed, great location, brilliant accommodation and the owners / management company looked after our group and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.

Excellence location, clean and perfect for some relaxing time away for families. Jess the host was fantastic with communication. Will book this again!

I stayed at the syr ar y bryn with my partner and 2 daughters for a short break for my partners birthday.
The property was very cosy and well equipped. We had a great time and would definitely recommend!
Everyone were very helpful and very friendly.

Stayed at chapel view, was perfect for what we needed. Would definitely go back.

Love Laugharne, visited many times
The view from the bungalow is stunning, very quiet location. We had everything we needed.
We would definitely stay there again.

All perfect. Lovely friendly hosts. Beautiful quiet location with stunning views. Free home grown fruit and veg.

We enjoyed our stay in Laugharne. The accommodation was clean and really well equipped - big plus for a blender, which you dont often get in Airbnb houses! The garden is very small and no garden furniture, but that was ok for us as we spent a lot of time by the sea and travelling around. There were games and toys for kids, which was great.
The castle and Laugharne seafront are lovely, but you do need a car to get around the surrounding areas as you may want to visit other places - Laugharne is small for a longer stay. There are no shops nearby, just newsagents so youll need to do shopping elsewhere. On another hand there's an amazing pizza restaurant nearby called Ty Glo. The pizzas and sundaes were really nice and the service and playlist were awesome! If visiting Laugharne, I'd recommend this accommodation for a family or even a group of friends.

Its wonderful. Very nicely to stayed here 3 days. Soo comfortable everything is nice. Sparkling clean. I am soo happy to stayed there. I will come again. My kids really loved and enjoyed there.
Thabk you soo much
Highly recommended ✔️✔️✔️✔️

The spacious home had everything we needed! The hot tub especially was my favourite part.

Nothing! It was a great stay!

this is a beautiful well equipped cottage. bigger in reality than the photos show. great central village location. Very handy that it has its own designated parking spot.

We had a fantastic few days in Pendine. Apartment was very clean and well equipped with lots of nice touches. Views were unbelievable, only a 10-15 min walk to the huge but quiet beach. It had lots of nice restaurants like Lotus and a fantastic park for our son. Was his first visit to the beach and one we will remember for a long time. We hope to come back.

We booked this house for my partners parents and they were amazed by the views and how gorgeous the house was! They want to book it every time they come and visit.

The cottage was as expected really cosy, clean and well equipped. Ideally situated for exploring Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.
We recommend it whole heartedly for a relaxing break for two..

My little family had the most enjoyable stay. Location was amazing, walking distance to the town, bars, restaurants, lovely walks and the beach. View from the apartment is what we will most remember, watching the waves and the people coming and going. Apartment was comfortable and clean, plenty of space for a family of 3. Photos don’t really do it justice. Would definitely return.

A fabulous property in a superb location. Can’t fault any aspect of our stay.

Amazing views. Great character but all modern conveniences. Perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends.

Everything was great.

Wildhaven was the best cottage we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many. The views were absolutely stunning and the cottage was large and beautifully furnished. The beds were really comfortable and each bathroom luxurious. The garden was large, fenced, but sadly not secure enough for a determined Cocker Spaniel. It's isolation meant the only sounds were the mountain sheep and the early morning wake up call from the local crows. Our host, Jess was regularly in contact which was so helpful. Our week at Wildhaven has had such a positive impact on us that we will be back next year.

Wonderful place! Incredibly well kitted out and the owners are wonderful.

Peaceful and beautiful.

we enjoyed a fantastic stay in Llanstefan. beautiful location, a couple of great pubs and a lovely little pizza parlour. the house was clean, spacious and well stocked, just what we needed. highly recommended!

Brofallen is an excellent property. Very clean and spacious. My Husband and I took our elderly and slightly mobility challenged parents here for a family birthday. They had no issues getting around the property. The thoughtful nightlights were a great touch.The property is as described, but the photos do not do it justice. The views are incredible and ever changing. The wild birds were a joy to sit and watch at the feeders. Great kitchen with pretty much everything you could possibly need. So peaceful and relaxing. Really comfortable beds, lovely dark skies. If you happen to meet the neighbours they are very knowledgeable of the local area and the history of the property.
I would highly recommend Brofallen for the peace and location. Great area for exploring.

I had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed but still quiet at night. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out super easy. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The views was amazing, apartment was very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful apartment, extremely well presented, very comfy bed, with all the amenities you could possibly need, quiet building in a perfect location, excellent, helpful service from the hosts, cannot fault anything about the my stay here. Will definitely be staying again.

Had a fantastic few days away at the barn, really lovely property in a great location. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed, it was spotless throughout and had a nice comfy sofa. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want to explore this part of Wales!

It was a perfect house to welcome our family. Everything was perfect - even better than the photos. The house is truly special, like stepping back in time, but with all the mod cons. Everyone loved it.
The host kindly kept the pool heating on, even at end of October, so that was special for the kids.
The surrounding area is very beautiful, so perfect location.

Sunnybank is a fantastic place to stay. A really well thought out bungalow in a really peaceful location.

Such a big property for a large family or group to stay. Also has an annex which was great for my mum and a bungalow so suitable for all ages. Had a lovely large and pretty garden, so peaceful. Based in a beautiful area to explore the stunning coastline and pretty countryside. Short walk into the town itself which was handy too. Very impressed with the two ovens and air fryers. We all had a wonderful time, 8 adults and 2 dogs, it was perfect thank you.

Accommodation was excellent big rooms plenty of space didn't get under each others feet 8 of us went thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet plenty of space to chill and unwind

The steep driveway and narrow lanes we walked a lot so coming back driveway was a struggle for the elder ones in the group could probably have done with a handrail along driveway wall but nothing really negative great property all round

Fabulous accommodation, well equipped and loved the welcome basket (honey was delicious).
Quiet and peaceful and really comfortable. Dogs loved it also.
We especially loved the record player in the bedroom !!!

Fantastic week away in a beautiful location. We were able to travel to the beach a few days and my daughters especially loved the hot tub. would certainly stay again.

An amazing property in a very quiet, rural setting. The property is spacious, quaint and very much an older character style house with an amazing, large garden. We took a croquet set and had plenty of space for that. Our small dog had her own 'holiday' in the garden. The house is well equipped, plenty of hot water, beds are comfy, bedlinen is fresh and good quality. Plenty of towels and also soap in every bathroom/sink. The house is not immediately near shops but its not too far to the nearest Co-op or Tesco at Pembroke Dock. The host is very helpful and responsive.

Stayed a Sunnybank beginning of October for ten days. Immediately when you walk in you can see that the cottage is so clean and fresh. Everything you need for a holiday is there, just like home from home. The hot tub (which is very private) is excellent and so it the games room. The owners were easily contactable if needed. We would highly recommend this cottage. Although we didn't require, the cottage is also ideal if there is a disability shower wise etc. We would not hesitate to recommend to anyone!

Family of 8 - 4 adults and 4 kids and all enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for everybody and having a 2nd lounge is great for when the children want to make some noise.
House is well maintained and gardens great for kids to play.
House is well appointed and hosts (GWE) made contact after check in - we had to solve a beeping dishwasher with some salt but that was it in terms of issues.
New pans were dropped off during our stay following previous guest feedback.
Really great stay and would happily return there or to another property managed by the host.

Had a wonderful break away at The Boathouse, couldn’t have asked for anything more. Great information, perfect place and beautiful scenery. Thank you!

Everything. It was amazing. All the little touches and the guide provided was great

Excellent client portal made checking in/out easy and contained lots of info on the apartment and surrounding area. Prompt response

The house was modern and spotlessly clean. There are two sitting rooms ideal for large groups. There were games and puzzles but the place was tidy and not cluttered. We could not think of a thing that wasn't provided. The kitchen also had every utensil you would need, a large fridge freezer and a stove with separate grill. There were great views from the garden. The WiFi was brilliant. Gave the location one less star as it is a twenty minute drive to a shop. The location though is beautiful, beach, castle, village and walks. There is a small shop which stocks essentials and is also a coffee shop. We had coffee and cake there which was delicious. Also two pubs which we did not go in. We did not have the best of weather and it was out of season however we felt very cozy in the house. Would definately return.

Old school house is beautiful! The moment we walked in we were charmed. We loved how it was ‘quirky’ - spiral staircase, arched doors, beamed landing, steps to circular dining room. Yet it was very practical, with everything you’d need for a stay. All in all a very comfy, cosy and relaxing stay. We were thrilled to find a collection of Welsh goodies - thank you! We enjoyed our day learning about Dylan Thomas, whose home was just a 5 minute drive away. I wishes we’d stayed longer. I will definitely recommend it to friends.

Very nice bungalow with beautiful views of the river estuary and a hot tub on the balcony.
Very good friendly and helpful host.
I think four is the most comfortable limit for the accommodation.
Laugharne is a fascinating little town with historical sites and beautiful walks, easily accessible for other attractions. The. castle is well worth a visit as well as the boathouse.

Great stay great location would definitely recommend - also plan to return next year

Large house,garden within 15 minutes to beaches and shops,
Amazing inglenook fireplace

Perfect cottage in a very secluded location. Host was fantastic, recommended lots of places to go and was really helpful throughout our stay. The private pool was really great but it was the location that was really special so many great places to go. House is perfect for four plus a dog with everything you could possibly need. Was great having our own garden and having access to a big field too. Definitely need ten days next time, too much to see in seven!

Lovely cottage with everything provided and very well equipped. Excellent communications too.

A beautiful flat, very clean and with everything you need. Anne, the host, was very kind and always available when needed. We loved our stay, with a car you can easily visit both Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. We definitely recommend it. Thank you Anne.

Holly and the team made us feel very welcomed. The coach house was a great base in the area with a lovely outlook from the garden for our family and two dogs. Easy access to the main road as well to get to the local beaches.

Everything was great lovely place to stay great host 😁

There was nothing I didn't like as it was beautiful

Our second time at a Great Welsh Escape’s property. Had a lovely time in a beautiful recently refurbished barn.

Our dog also loved the enclosed garden that wrapped around the property.

There a is a beautiful beach 5min down the road, got in a few good walks even in February. Can imaging in summer it would be a daily trip.

Looking forward to future breaks.

The Cors is a home of great character with an incredible hidden garden giving you perfect privacy. It’s an ideal spot for family and friends to stay with space and all facilities you need for inside and outdoor living. Great variety of places to sit and enjoy the sun and be together or have some quiet time. We loved the whole area with plenty of walks from the door to exploring the sensational Pembrokeshire coastline.
We will be back!

Wonderful location, peaceful but close to amenities, fenced off garden ideal for dog, WiFi excellent, bed sooo comfortable, everything you could need, fantastic!

Nothing, all fab

We all had such a lovely time we truly didn't want to leave & could have happily stayed for a few more days. We will recommend it to friends & family, it felt just like home from home.

Gorgeous house, little extras that made a big difference.
A beautiful, peaceful space.

We had a great stay with Hugh and Hazel. They'd put a lot of effort into making the home as welcoming to all (including supplies for rainy days). It was comfortable, well stocked (beyond what I'd normally expect) and they'd left us with plenty of recommendations. Couldn't fault them!

An amazing property, great location for all of West Wales. Will definitely recommend and re-book x

It was very clean and had everything you could wish for. They really have thought of everything it was amazing. The hot tub was appreciated after a busy day exploring.

Nothing it was perfect

Footprints apartment had everything you needed for a perfect stay, and then some. Great location, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped and spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed.
Would not hesitate to return and great value.
Many thanks for a great holiday
Rob & Denise

The location is fantastic with access to great restaurants!

The shower was either freezing or boiling! Just could not get it at right temperature but did not detract from our enjoyment of the cittsge!

Great house and well prepared for us. Lovely garden for dogs. Stunning views over the beach and quick to get to them by car. Many thanks

Wonderful home away from home with everything you need for a short or longer stay.
Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and powerful showers. Close to the beach and a lovely garden to relax in. Plenty of games available for rainy days.

fantastic house and host. 10 min walk down to beaches and town with bars and restaurants.

Lovely clean bungalow
Owners were friendly and very helpful
Short walk to beach
Log fire
Parking

Everything was perfect

Deutsche version (See english version below):
Ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt! Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich, der Garten liebevoll gepflegt und der Hot Tub war ein echtes Highlight – besonders abends. Unsere Kinder waren begeistert von den Kälbchen auf der angrenzenden Wiese. Als Familie aus Deutschland haben wir uns rundum wohl und willkommen gefühlt. Klare Empfehlung!

English version:
A wonderful stay! The house is cozy, the garden beautifully maintained, and the hot tub was a real highlight – especially in the evenings. Our kids loved the calves in the nearby field. As a family from Germany, we felt truly welcome and at home. Highly recommended!

Great property with amazing views. The property was well maintained and very clean.

Great location for access to Saundersfoot and Tenby. I will definitely visit this property again and recommend it to family and friends.

Fantastic stay, felt very welcome. Lovely touches, like the welcome basket and local guidance. Would definitely stay here again. Beautiful area!

Absolutely loved our stay. Fabulous house, excellent location and stunning views. The house is spacious and has everything to offer ......would definately recomend.

very well appointed, immaculate and well located for getting everywhere easily.

nothing, all good!

Wonderful week at Maes y Mel. GWE were well organised and efficient, checking if we'd arrived safely, later if we were settling in, and later in the week before leaving. Our hostess, Buddig was friendly and helpful. The accommodation was quiet, comfortable and set in rural bliss. Highly recommended!!
