Old Dairy Cottage, near Skanda Vale in beautiful Carmarthenshire, is a detached conversion of an old milking parlour on the farmyard of the owners’ 23 acre smallholding. Guests are free to explore the hedged fields and woodland of the smallholding (which the owners do not farm themselves). At 750ft above sea level it commands expansive views to the north, over rolling countryside stretching to the Cambrian Mountains and Pumlumon over 40 miles away.

Over 60 different species of birds may be seen including buzzards and red kites and unusually Laburnum grows wild in the hedgerows, providing a riot of golden blossom in late May and early June.

The cottage is located in the “The Garden of Wales”, conveniently mid way between Carmarthen Bay with its expansive beaches to the south and Cardigan Bay with its secluded coves and rugged cliffs on the North Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion coast. Llansteffan is 20 miles, New Quay 22 miles and Poppit Sands 26 miles. Old Dairy Cottage is within 5 miles of the northern corner of Brechfa Forest and Llanllwni Mountain (open access and Common land) both of which provide excellent walking.

Carmarthen, the oldest town in Wales, and said to be the birthplace of King Arthur’s legendary wizard Merlin (and a useful shopping centre) is just 10 miles away.

Old Dairy Cottage is double glazed throughout and having full oil fired central heating it is ideal for out of season holidays.
