A gorgeous, unique and homely place to stay while you explore the surrounding areas. We stayed here for a week and a busy week while saving lots of activities for next time. The hosts and so welcoming and gave us some great suggestions. Definitely worth a stay!

Lovely weekend away in the Welsh countryside. Accommodation was superb - well equiped and beautifully furnished. Very friendly hosts. Great location for exploring the South Coast of Wales.

Wonderful stay at St. Clears. Charming and unique accommodation that offered a comfortable and enjoyable stay for our getaway from London. It is easily accessible to drive to the coast of Pembrokshire and the hills of Brecon Beacons. Mel and Neil are lovley hosts, very welcoming and helpful! Recommend to anyone looking to explore south of Wales.

Fantastic getaway in St. Clears, Carmarthenshire!

I highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking to escape the city and have access to the entire peninsula and a whole handful of beautiful beaches. It provided a clean, cosy refuge from which to visit some of the most beautiful parts of Wales!

We had a wonderful stay here, it was the perfect place to relax and unwind for a few days. The cottage was delightful and bigger than we expected.

Lovely cottage in an excellent location with nice beaches nearby. We had a lovely time during our 4 night stay and look forward to our next visit!
The cottage is tastefully decorated, spacious and has everything you need - a credit to the owners.

We couldn’t have asked for more for our holiday. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and provided a perfect base from which we could explore the area. Mel and Neil were thoughtful and helpful hosts with good recommendations for places to visit and local places to eat.

Beau séjour chez Neil et Melanie d’une durée de 7 jours.
Merci pour votre hospitalité et le beau et grand logement, les chambres sont très grandes et confortables. La salle de bain est magnifique. La décoration est très originale. Logement très fonctionnel.
Près de tout, parcs, plages et attractions.
Très bien situé si vous désirez visiter cette magnifique région du Pays de Galles.
Merci beaucoup.

An eclectic mix of styles which were assembled with great aplomb. The quality of renovation showed that great care and consideration had been taken in order to achieve an unique style. Hearing the sparrows chirping outside first thing in the morning was a wonderful way to wake up. Even hearing the trains travelling along the nearby mainline did nothing to disturb the tranquillity of this secret corner of Carmarthenshire. A long weekend was not enough and a return visit is hopeful.
Nothing!

It was a very nice stay. The guest house is very lovely and comfortable, so we had a good time even when it rained. Jessica and Nile are great hosts and have a special talent for decorating. By car its a quick drive to stunning beaches and hiking trails. We highly recommend Great Welsh Escapes!

We spent ten days in this beautiful cottage and had a wonderful time. It is very spacious, especially the principal bedroom and bathroom. The decor is very pleasing and tasteful, while the kitchen is modern and equipped. We used the oven, hob, washing machine and dishwasher, and all appliances worked perfectly. There is a Co-op just down the street, and there are a few nice takeaways within town.
The cottage is centrally located to cover both Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, and it is very convenient to do day trips to Tenby, Marloes Sands, St. Davids, Brecon Beacons and a dozen small beaches and castles -- the closest of which, Laugharne, is hardly a 12 minute drive away.
All in all, I can very strongly recommend staying here to explore known and unknown parts of the beautiful South Wales. And yes, Melanie and Neil are both wonderful hosts!

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.

A very well renovated out building with plenty of privacy. A good place to explore South West Wales.

Great place. Well located. Everything we expected for a stay in Wales!

Lovely accommodation, very cosy and yet spacious at the same time. Had everything we needed and in a great location for us to be able to go and visit different places during our stay.

A beautifully created and well-appointed spacious cottage, hidden from the road in a peaceful spot. A good location for reaching a variety of other places. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating, and the love and care put into crafting this cottage really shines through.

Superb little bolthole. The owners have renovated this place to a very high standard and you can tell that so much love has gone into it with perfect finishing touches. The main bedroom is nothing short of wow!
We absolutely loved our stay. Well worth the money! Probably the best place we’ve ever stayed.

Excellent cottage, very well equipped and comfortable especially if you are staying longer than a weekend. Lovely little touches left by the hosts who were friendly and accommodating. Ideal location for exploring South Wales. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful renovated cottage, lots of original touches throughout. Bedrooms in particular were delightful, as was the large bathroom. Neil and Mel were excellent hosts. Weather was beautiful so we ate outside most of the time. An excellent base from which to explore south Pembrokeshire

The cottage is charming, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts welcoming and helpful.
The area is quiet, not much in the town but there are convenience stores for essentials.
The landscape, beaches, gardens and profusion of castles make it a beautiful and interesting location for a break.

Whilst St Clears might not be the most picturesque of Welsh small towns, it is a great central location for seeing around about and the cottage is amazing; an absolutely lovingly created holiday home.

Beautifully restored property with lovely touches throughout. Very well proportioned bedrooms and bathroom, well equipped kitchen and super friendly hosts. Thank you for a great Easter stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely and homey cottage. The location was excellent for our purpose. Neil and Melanie are the best hosts. Definitely one of the best stays we've ever had.

This beautiful old storehouse has been lovingly and artistically restored with wonderful attention given to keeping its historical integrity. It was even better than the pictures showed. Comfortable, warm and clean with everything we needed. Whilst the internet was a bit slow at times this gave the perfect opportunity for reading and playing board games. The local Co-Op supermarket was just a few minutes walk away, and the chips from the local Georges Fish and Chips shop plentiful and very good.
Melanie and Neil were so welcoming and we appreciated the chats as well as the welcome basket inside. We thank them both.
There is not a lot to do in St Clears but it was the perfect base for exploring the coast and mountains in South Wales.

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.

What a gorgeous cottage!
It was beautiful and well decorated in keeping with the authentic style of the cottage it was also very clean and welcoming.
The beds were comfortable and cosy and the cottage remained at the right temperature throughout the visit regardless of the weather outside the cottage was never too hot or too cold the temperature inside was always just perfect and Neil the host was amazing. He was the icing on the cake extremely kind, warm and helpful. Providing lots of tips on where to go.
Thank you to Neil who made our trip even more wonderful and our son absolutely loved him sharing his great knowledge of nature.

We had a truly relaxing stay in this wonderful cottage. The outside space was perfect and the town delightfully welcoming . The cottage is a great start for exploring the coast and the nearby towns of Pembroke and Carmarthen. We fell in love with this area of Wales~ gentle and peaceful.

This was my first time booking via Greatwelshescapes I would highly recommend! Our cottage was exactly how it was described and looked like the pictures.
Wow what a stunning part of Wales, beautiful scenery, tranquil and very friendly. We had a lovely time as a family and would definitely come back!

Beautiful designer cottage with impressive attention to detail. The owners poured their heart and soul into this place and are very friendly, helpful and flexible.
Parking is a little difficult but doesn't impact the experience.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage thanks to Neil’s and Melanie’s
outstanding hospitality. The host made our stay super extra special with their warmest welcome, extremely friendly and we love our daily chats with them. We highly recommend the place if you wish to explore the beautiful South Wales and we managed to visit St Davids, Pembrokeshire National Park,Tenby and Saundersfoot. All the attractions are closely and easy drive from St Clears. Cottage is simply beautiful
with amazing bathtub, spacious room and kitchen. We would love to thank the amazing host we’ve ever met and we will miss them dearly! Thanks for making our stay extra special ❤️ You guys are truly a star ⭐️

Me, my wife and my little girl thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Neil and Mel’s place. They were lovely hosts and offered some great local recommendations. Their place was fabulous and it was clear to see how much time and effort has gone in to making the cottage a wonderful place to stay. It was a great base for us to explore the local area.
