Situated in Ammanford, Dyfed, Wales, this charming cottage offers a delightful retreat for up to four guests, nestled within a picturesque 40-acre working farm. The farm is home to a variety of animals including five emus, breeding sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and peacocks, creating a unique rural experience. Despite its serene countryside setting, the property is conveniently located just one mile from essential local amenities such as a train station, shops, and pubs, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy with numerous scenic walking trails in the vicinity, including historic castle grounds like Penlle'r Castell, Carreg Cennen Castle, and Dinefwr Castle, all within a five to six-mile radius.

The cottage features an inviting open-plan living area that combines comfort and functionality, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Guests can relax on the cozy seating while watching their favorite shows on a 55'' Smart TV or enjoy some nostalgic gaming on a PS2. The well-equipped kitchen includes modern appliances such as a fridge, freezer, microwave, gas oven, hob, and dishwasher, accompanied by an oak dining table, making it an excellent space for family meals. The ground floor also contains a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower for added convenience.
