The property was just as described, cosy, comfortable and had a lovely view of the garden through the patio doors. A great base to visit Pembrey beach and Pendine sands and for those wanting a slightly longer drive, St Davids. The village pub and Post Office staff were really friendly and welcoming too. We will certainly look to come back soon. Many thanks Hannah

A little dated but generally well presented and ideal for a short stay. We were greeted and welcomed by the owners. They have their own dogs and they made us and our dogs welcome as well. Would highly recommend anyone visiting the area to consider using Cwtch Cowin as their jumping off point.
