If you love the feeling of not being bound by set meal times and menus then self-catering in Carmarthenshire is for you. Our holiday cottages, barns and rural retreats are spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. Get a real feel for Welsh country life when you stay on a traditional working farm or take your pick of stunning seaside cottages and wake up to the sound of the ocean. It’s great value too. Going self-catering is fantastic for families as it means the children can run free without the worry of disturbing other guests and many places these days also allow well-behaved family pets. Go self-catering and see Carmarthenshire through the eyes of the locals. It will soon feel like a home from home.
