We spent two weeks in this lovely bungalow which is much bigger than the pictures suggest.
Everything guests could possibly need during their stay is there and is all spotlessly clean
We would highly recommend Dyffryn Taf to anyone wanting a comfortable base from which to explore all that this beautiful part of Wales has to offer.

Awesome Taf is a great location to be when visiting carmerthen , it is actually withing 25 mins drive to Oakwood theme park, 24mins to Dinosaur park, Heathertons etc and 3.5 miles to Pembroke Castle and very close to McDonald's. The host was very nice, the house was 100percent very clean. Very comfortable felt like home.
Nothing really, just a little inside but not bad at all.

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!

If you are planning a holiday/trip to Pembrokshire then you must pick this apartment.

It was a good place, we had a good time and the owner was very communicative and very helpful.
We had issues with wifi not working during our stay, looks like it was an BT issue (BT were called and attended but couldn't rectify the issue). Which did rob us off some quality time in the evenings.
If not everything was really good.
I would recommend this place.

The owner, Mel, could not be more friendly, helpful and accomodating. And always asking if we needed anything.
Michelle, the lady who looks after it, was also really helpful in sending all the details and the information needed.
The cottage is really cosy and has everything you need , lovely original features, just lovely.
People around the local area are so friendly as well, always happy to give you tips and advice.
I could not recommend this place enough. We went with 2 kids and a dog and it was perfect . We will definitely go back there when we can.
Shame we had to go, it was amazing!

We had a lovely week here. It is a genuinely stunning cottage and everything inside is of the highest standard and quality - just as the description suggests. It is luxurious and 5 star. It is also very quiet and peaceful (the heart of the Welsh countryside!), though we were woken up by cows on a couple of mornings! Location is excellent for Pendine (beautiful long and sandy beach) and Laugharne (quaint town with castle), each a 5 minute drive away. However, the heart of Pembrokeshire (Tenby, Saundersfoot etc) is a good 25-35 min drive away and so a car is essential. We had a few issues with the TVs but I'm sure it will be sorted for future guests. Overall we would highly recommend this cottage.

We had such an amazing stay. The house is even better in real life and the kitchen is set up so well that cooking is a real pleasure. Any glitches were sorted immediately and everyone we met in Laugherne was so friendly (especially in Poon’s) - it was great being able to walk to get food/coffee etc. The pool was a perfect temperature and when the sun was out it felt like we were in Italy. Comfortable beds, incredible bathrooms and a cosy snug for when it rained. Perfect.

Dolau Taf is the perfect accommodation for two people. Apart from it being warm & welcoming, it was the little simple but thoughtful touches that appealed. Salt & pepper, herbs & oil for cooking meals & a bottle of red wine to enjoy with your meal. These are things that make the difference on arrival. Thank you Anne & Peter.
There wasn't anything we didn’t like about Dolau Taf apart from having to leave after only three days to continue with our holiday at another location in Wales. We will definitely return in the future.

This property that we stayed in was fantastic. We could see that Mel and Neil put their heart and sole into making it perfect. It is so cosy and unique, easily the most beautiful accommodation that we have stayed in so far.
Our stay was made so much nicer by our communication with Mel and Neil, they gave us fantastic recommendations of restaurants and places to visit. A lovely couple, a pleasure to have met them and stayed in their gorgeous cottage.

This place is perfect for a family and is dog friendly too. The accommodation is perfect, open plan living was great and the patio door opening out onto the decking with hot tub right outside was fab…we came in December so spent lots of time in the tub!! The beds were comfy and lots of pillows to choose from (im a fussy pillow Person). Fantastic views from all windows/doors! There is a shop within a two minute walk, a couple of pubs, the owl and pussycat cafe, and a gift shop. The fish and chip shop was closed for the Xmas period but there is a Chinese/chip shop in St Clears near by. There is a great walk around Laugharne castle, past the Dylan Thomas writing shed and boat house is a must. We explored lots of places from here. I recommend Llansteffan, Tenby and walking through the tunnels from Saundersfoot to Wiseman’s Bridge. The hosts are super helpful and communication is fab.

Superb accommodation and location. Beautifully decorated and furnished, you pay a little more for this type of accommodation, but it really is worth it. My children, normally very fussy, adored their bedrooms and the whole house, which is full of character. Ideally placed within the village, and whilst there is no parking with the property, we never had a problem finding a parking space within a few footsteps, even in the school holidays. Pubs and restaurants are within a stone throw, and all are excellent. It's a very relaxing village, with beautiful walks, and superb beaches within easy travelling distance. We love the area, and will be back.
Could not fault a thing.

A point of note if staying here with a dog, the garden fence is not secure so let them roam freely with caution - ours got out on a number of occasions.

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.

Sunnybanks is in a wonderful location with stunning views across the Welsh countryside. Great base to visit beaches, walks and tourist attractions.
It's very well equipped with everything you could possibly need, like home from home! Sunnybanks was spotlessly clean, the rooms are very well decorated light and airy.
We had wonderful evenings playing games on the lawn and enjoying our meals al fresco.

Perfect for family and friends to gather together and explore the beautiful Welsh beaches and countryside. Every detail in the house has been carefully considered and beautifully curated.

What a beautiful place. We stayed at ‘The Old School’ in Laugharne. It has everything you’d want and more. It is a place where a car is needed as you cannot really walk anywhere directly from here as there are no paths or public rights of way but without doubt if you need a base to explore Carmarthenshire or Pembrokeshire then this is it. Great Welsh escapes were also very good to deal with and we would recommend them to others.

Wonderful stay, one of the best we’ve had. The cottage is very cozy, has amazing views and has everything you need. We felt like home (I wish my home was like this place though). The stay was very relaxing. It was very easy to find—just click on “open the address in the maps/gogle maps” and it will take you right to the place (we used gogle maps, so the app just received the exact coordinates and led us to the exact spot.) The road at the end was totally fine—no issues at all. A typical countryside road and it’s fairly smooth. We would love to come back one day. The hosts were very responsive.

Had a lovely stay, the team at Great Welsh Escapes were always there and proactive in reaching out. They also messaged to check we had found everything OK.
Cottage was beautiful and well-equipped. Lovely village location. Parking was not always possible right outside the cottage but within a couple of minutes walk (literature in the cottage shared suggested parking locations).
We didn’t use the garden but it could do with a bit of tidying up … will be lovely if/when that is done though.
Would very much recommend this cottage as a beautiful, relaxing base for the area. A home from home.

We really loved our long weekend at Footprints. The flat is gorgeous, very comfy and incredibly well equipped. We made the best of the weather with a few walks on the coastal path, some time on the beach and we even braved a sea swim. And then when it got really stormy we felt lovely and cosy in the cottage and enjoyed watching the dramatic weather from window - what a view! We loved the flat and the location, and there's lots of fantastic local eateries as well. We shall be back! :)

I am not a regular review writer however when there is something to write home about that might help others and pay tribute for an experience then I tend to put pen to paper…
We recently stayed at ‘Footprints’ Apartment for a short week and really wish we had stayed longer, needless to say we will return…
We originally booked our stay through a trusted on-line portal and did so to ensure we had support when things might not be right, however when we booked little did we know we would have the added benefit of an independent management company who were themselves nothing short of fantastic, particularly Jess who maintained contact with us before, during and on our departure day… we had no cause to call upon them but they offered contact numbers and a means to connect should we require any help.
The services provided by Great Welsh Escapes were great; offering local recommendations for to eatery’s, places to visit and local services were all very really useful… the contact was not over bearing, it was pitched just right so that although we did not have cause to call upon them we knew they were only a phone call away...
This apartment was a home from home, very thoughtfully presented, where the owner has put much love and care into the property… the outlook from the kitchen diner gave partial views of the sea and moreover down the small hill to Saundersfoot Quay; it all added to the warm ambiance of the apartment...
I know that next time I am in the area I will book directly with this amazing company who clearly have a preference for quality accommodations on their listings!

A lovely house, with fantastic gardens. Perfect place to stay and relax for a week with three generations of our family getting together. Minutes walk into town, plenty to do in the area and it’s such a nice place to stay you’ll be happy just staying in, even when it’s raining. If anything, it’s even nicer than it looks in the photos - though we were also lucky with the sunshine.

Beautiful historic house in a peaceful location with amenities in easy reach. The swimming pool is small but great for cooling off and the evening sun on the terrace made it feel quite Mediterranean. Huge rooms and lots of space, we hardly used a couple of the rooms at all. The top floor is great for kids or a family with children as it’s quite open plan. Would highly recommend it for a large family group.

We stayed with friends at Castell Y Waun for a week during the Easter holidays - 8 of us altogether. The property itself was fantastic for our 2 families; spacious but cosy, and really clean. The bedrooms were all decorated beautifully and the beds so comfortable and the hot tub fabulous! We arrived to be met by the owners who were very friendly and we found a lovely hamper with welcome goodies - a lovely touch!
The location of the property was super - so close to many beautiful castles, wonderful countryside and stunning beaches.
The large garden was something that attracted us to the property, for the children and dogs to run around in, however whilst the garden had new fencing it was not strictly enclosed as the dogs could escape via the gates backing onto the fields - so just a warning to those with dogs that are mischievous! Aside from that, our week there was perfect and we’d highly recommend it; we had a brilliant holiday!

It's a gorgeous, mesmerising, private place ( I am really short of words) hidden in the woods. Yet, not far from the local Pendine beach or local grocery shops like Nisa local. We had a cosy stay in the property with a breath taking view of the woods, birds and the spring water outside the window. It has all the necessary items that makes the stay comfortable. Sheena & Paul has done a wonderful job in decorating it and giving it a personal touch which makes it awesome place. Hosts are welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

What a super place to stay. The cottage is of a very high standard; right down to the luxury toilet paper! Everything worked perfectly and everything was thought of. It was a joy to stay in the village with the beautiful castle down the road too. The deli two doors down is fantastic. Can’t rate the whole experience highly enough. Thank you.

We had a great stay at the house which has real character, would recommend the house and the village, lots of great social areas and the rooms were all fabulous with comfy beds. Lots of thought has gone into the decoration and the bits around the house and pictures etc. We had a fabulous week (6 adults, 3 early teens). Great that we could take the dogs and there was a gate to keep them in there allowed area.

The house is amazing. Spotlessly clean, packed with everything you might need. Great location on Laugharne High Street, close to everything. Will definitely be back!!

Fantastic location and close by to where my friend was celebrating her birthday. All within a couple of minutes walking distance.
The lighting is a little low which made getting ready a bit tricky to do make up. The only suitable light was in the bathroom.

Lovely accommodation that was very clean and the hosts were on hand if needed as live next door. Perfect for a family of 4-6 people with 3 large bedrooms. The property was very well situated to visit all of West Wales.

We were blown away with the views, absolutely lovely. The apartment was very warm and welcoming, clean and had everything we needed, and more. Great location for exploring the local area, Tenby and Saundersfoot not being too far to drive to. The Pendine Sands great for a day on the beach.

We loved the cottage and the warm welcome. The cottage is so well appointed, with large rooms and modern equipment designed into a characterful style. The best thing we can say is that we would love to come back soon.
Parking is a little tight, but was adequate for our small car. That is really the only criticism. We are not critical guests anyway, but our hosts made us feel like we were their special guests. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay - in particular we enjoyed the excellent living space/kitchen and outside area. Our baby especially loved playing on the big living room rug.
The surrounding area is amazing and the property is very well located for access to beaches, Tenby, Pembroke, Bosherston, Stackpole etc. The only thing was the proximity to the MOD area, which we were prepared for, but I think they were perhaps doing extra tank and machine gun practice during our stay. It can be a little disconcerting having your evening meal peppered with the sound of tank and machine gun fire. I understand this wouldn’t be a problem during the summer school holidays or weekend though.
We loved going to the different beaches etc. and we also had some lovely meals out - including at the fabulous Paternoster Farm which is only round the corner (must book in advance).

Beyond grateful to have found Sunny Bank as a base mid house move. The team at Great Welsh Escapes were really helpful in brokering our arrangements with the owners and since we’ve arrived Hazel and Hugh have been nothing short of AMAZING hosts. They’ve consistently gone over and above to accommodate what we’ve needed and ensure that our stay has been a good one. The property itself is beautiful and probably the cleanest and most well equipped accommodation we’ve stayed in. More little extra details than there’s time to list but they all make such a difference to the experience of being away from home. It’s always a challenge for us to find accommodation that is genuinely wheelchair accessible and Sunny Bank is just that. A rare find as properties go and made all the more special by the nature of the welcome and hosting. Thank you so much Hazel and a Hugh. You’ve made our move to Wales so much easier than it might otherwise have been and we’ll always really appreciate that!

We had a great stay at the cottage. It was even more lovely than the photo's. There was lots of space and it worked well for two couples. The living room was so cosy especially with the fire going, great garden for doggie too. Very handy to have a Co-op a short drive down the road and a bonus that it's open till 10pm. If you're planning on eating out for dinner at any local pubs it's probably best to book in advance especially if you're taking doggie. That said we had a great meal at the Savoy Country Inn which is a 15 minute drive away. I'd definitely stay at Maesteg Cottage again :0)

An amazing find - the perfect one bed apartment with lots of space for 1x person or for a couple. Sandersfoot is a beautiful village, smaller than Tenby and cuter with it. The flat is a 7 min walk down to the village and beach which when busy one welcomes the fact the apartment has its own parking. The accommodation felt almost brand new, wanting for nothing - supplying everything you could want. The bed was ever so comfortable with lovely sheets, the bathroom had great water pressure and brilliantly clean, the kitchen had everything you needed and all with a distant see view. It's also ideally located next to the Coastal Path, 13 mins from a tiny isolated beach. Can't recommend more. Thanks!

Lovely accommodation! We really enjoyed our stay. Host was very accommodating and helpful. Only 10 minutes away from pendine beach and lots of pubs around. Struggled to find places for breakfast / dinner Sunday and Monday so I’d suggest bringing plenty of food for backup if you can’t get in anywhere or book tables way in advance.

Such a lovely apartment! Perfectly situated for exploring the coast, but also cosy enough for hunkering down and getting cozy in bad weather! The apartment was easy to check into and the complex is really peaceful. Saundersfoot is a gorgeous friendly place definitely worth staying in.

This was our first ever Air bnb experience. And it most certainly exceeded our expectations. The place is perfect for a little family holiday and have plenty to do within a 30 min drive of the place. There’s even plenty to do in the lodge also with a spacious hot tub, games and crafts for the kids, outside toys etc.
The host is wonderful and can’t do enough. Every little detail has been thought about and the cleanliness of the place is amazing. The lovely hamper, Easter egg and balloons for my son and partner birthdays was a really sweet touch.
Hot tub is amazing! Views are amazing! The lodge is amazing! This place is just amazing. And I’ve told all my friends and family that they need a little trip here.
We will definitely be coming back here soon! Thank you!

We had a great stay in Laugharne, the cottage was perfectly located to explore both Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. The beach’s at Pendine and Armoth are close by and weren’t too busy even in peak season.
Laugharne itself was lovely with good options for eating out and supplies. Having our own private parking spot was greatly appreciated as parking in Laugharne is challenging (it was August summer holidays).
The cottage was really clean and beautifully decorated and has real character. There are lots of luxury touches such as nice hand soap provided, coffee machine, welcome hamper, etc.
The facilities were ideal for us as a family with two kids (9 and 7) in particular for washing and drying after visits to the beach!
The beds were super comfortable and the bedding was lovely as were the towels.
Also the communication was superb in particular the prompt responses when we asked a few questions during our stay.
We would have no hesitation to stay again and use Great Welsh Escapes who were very professional, friendly and responsive.
Thanks for letting us stay!

Jess was very responsive and helpful. Our son got very high fever on the last day and Emily was very kind to extend our check out by a whole hour. The house in itself is gorgeous and extremely clean just as the pictures. However, in regards to the location of the house, it’s not close to either the beach or the castle unlike the impression we got from the pictures posted. It’s in the middle of a farm residential area. Our son quite enjoyed waking up to the mooing of cows but the stench of the cow manure does waft through the house if you open the doors and the windows. All in all, we did enjoy our stay at the house immensely.

Excellent bungalow, very cosy and well equipped. Dog friendly with fairly secure back garden. Michelle and Helen, the owner were very helpful and suggested good places to eat and visit. Had a delicious dinner at Brown’s Hotel and brilliant fish and chips from the wonderful woman in the local fish and chip shop in Laugharne. A really lovely holiday, thank you.

Stayed at this property for a week - amazing location with lots to do and to see around. The description and pictures are accurate, I could even say reality exceeds expectations. You can find all you may need in the house - kitchen is well equipped, plenty of board games to play and movies you can watch if/when tired to explore outside.
Internet connection not the best, but this was a big plus - you can detox from all social media, news etc. - and you can enjoy yourself and have a great rest.
Communication with the host was great, they are very responsive, we sent some comments/suggestions to the host how to make this place even better.

WOW! This property was absolutely beautiful. The grounds are incredible. The house itself is furnished beautifully, amazing artwork and a mix of a modern and an older feel! The property is so quirky, you really won’t find anywhere else like it! Jac was amazing throughout the booking process and whilst staying at the property. 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 property is dog friendly makes it even better! Thank you Jac 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! I miss it already!

We were a family group ranging from age 10 to 73, plus 3 dogs and this property suited everyone perfectly. Super spacious bungalow with areas for everyone to enjoy. With a large garden to the front (ideal for sitting and relaxing), a small enclosed garden to the rear (ideal for the dogs) and a large paved outside eating area, we were spoilt for choice.
A short walk down into the village there are two pubs serving lunchtime food, evening food was more limited. The Portreevers was expensive, and although good service and a nice atmosphere, food was average. Poons Thai restaurant however was AMAZING!! We wished we had found this earlier in our stay, take away and eat in (bring your own alcoholic drinks) the food was delicious.
We found Amroth beach to be absolutely ideal for us. Free parking right on the sea wall in front of the year round dog friendly section, acres of sand, safe water to paddle board and toilets nearby. We spent 3 full days on the beach and had such a good time, it was just 25 mins car trip and well worth it.
We would recommend Round Park to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway and as a good base to explore the area.

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.

We had such a wonderful few days at Brofallen as a family of 5 adults and a toddler. The house is in a fabulous location with gorgeous views (particularly from the conservatory which got really lovely and toasty throughout the day). The house was really tastefully decorated, even down to the lighting being just right to have a cosy evening, it felt like a family home rather than a generic whitewashed holiday place. Our toddler loved exploring, there were toys dotted around which he loved finding and it was a pretty safe childproof environment for him to toddle about, which helped us to relax all the more. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept really well. Communication with Great Welsh Escapes was easy too.
The only negative would be that it was so nice we really had to convince ourselves to go out and about each day and not just stay in and enjoy it!
We will definitely be booking again for another trip!

Our family of 5 (3 teen boys) had a relaxing and very comfortable stay. I love an open plan setting - so much more opportunity for chatting whilst you are preparing a meal. The arrangement of the rooms is really good - it means that the early birds can mooch around in the morning without disturbing the sleepy heads. I loved the conservatory area. It added some extra space from which to escape teen noise and it was lovely to sit out there and take in the elements. The covered outside area is also a bonus. It is sheltered from the wind and thus you can sit there on what might be a chilly evening and enjoy the last of the sun. The enclosed garden was a delight and was really handy for us - as it meant that our cocker spaniel could not escape chasing rabbits. This family home has a welcoming feel and we hope to return. The kitchen has everything that you might need - plenty of utensils. We would recommend Good Trails (Coppet Hall Beach near Saundersfoot) for paddle board lessons and bike hire. I also highly commend the whole booking experience. We found the online personal check-in area really useful for things to do / places to eat (plus the personal recommendations from the owner). Battlefield Live laser tag was on that list and it was brilliant fun. The agency responsible for this property were really communicative, friendly and helpful - good job guys!

Very well appointed house with all mod cons. Tons of parking space - and an easy woodland amble down to the metropolis that is Laugharne.
Great village stores for all the things you forgot and a friendly neighbour (we couldn’t track down) who let in the grocery delivery which pitched up 24 hours early!
Thoroughly recommend for a Welsh Coastal holiday

Absolutely beautiful cottage with everything you could need. We were the first guests to stay there and we absolutely loved it. We loved the garden and the horses in the field behind. The bed in the back room is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. We are already looking to book our next two breaks. The welcome pack was a really nice touch as well. Chocolate wine and even treats for the dog it was so kind. Thank you for making our break perfect.

We had a lovely family weekend at The Cors. The house was wonderful and everyone was very happy with their rooms and the communal spaces. This made for a very enjoyable time. The grounds were beautiful and wandering around was very peaceful. We used Laugharne as a base for exploring old haunts in West Wales but also spent some time revisiting the local area. Had a great Sunday lunch at Dexters, just a brief walk away. All in all a superb weekend.

Stayed for a few days at The Cors. An amazing Arts and Crafts house in Laugharne. A beautiful large garden, lost in time, an oasis of tranquility, yet just minutes from the village and Dylan Thomas' Boathouse. The bedrooms are individually designed, all with big flat screen TVs and modern bathrooms. I highly recommend staying in this extremely romantic, charming and comfortable house.

We have just returned from a wonderfully relaxing stay at this beautiful cottage. The property is surrounded by rolling hills and, with mainly the sheep for company, you can really enjoy a feeling of escapism! The property is very tastefully furnished and feels cosy and homely. It also has nice comfy beds and modern bathrooms (with plenty of towels!) and a well-equipped kitchen. There are some beautiful walks within easy reach and the house has lovely views from the huge doors in the lounge. It is worth stopping off for some supplies in town before you arrive as the nearest shop is a 20 minute drive or so and there are no ‘leftover’ basics at the house. We brought our dogs and the property was great for them - although we were not 100% sure the garden was all secure so kept a close eye on our spaniel who has rather a penchant for sheep! Would recommend for those seeking the solace of an ‘away from it all’ hideaway. A special thanks to the two delightful and very friendly ladies who came to clean the house who were a joy to meet. Lauren and Barney

Lovely house! So much space for a family of 6! (2 young children) Just make sure you like stairs! We loved the window seats throughout the house. Peaceful places to sit and read. Lovely decor and full of character. The outside area was great too. We had one small issue with the hot water which was resolved within 25 minutes before 9am! Amazing service! Thank you!
We always found parking along the road or small carpark.
We walked around Laugharne and went to the castle and Boathouse for lovely Welsh Cakes. A few of the shops and restaurants have closed which was a shame. But the pub - 3 Mariners was great for a family meal out. We also went to Dexter’s at Browns which is across the road and that is lovely for a special meal.
Tenby, Barafundle Bay, Pendine beach and Narbeth all worth a visit. Folly Farm was exceptional and a wonderful day out with the kids!
Thanks for a wonderful week in a beautiful home!
