The Den, Llansteffan

Thank you Matt & Sian ( plus girls & dogs) for making us feel very much at home when we stayed at Y Den last month. 9 years since our last visit! What could not be right for a couple ( no longer in their prime) and a bouncy , rescue Border Collie from Wales! We and Jessy thoroughly enjoyed our week with you. Jessy in particular loved the freedom of your 24 acres! George very much appreciated the Pererin , a pity ( or not) that the barn bar was only open for 2 nights! When you visit rural Carmarthenshire don’t expect it to be like suburban Surrey; it’s better!

Stayed for a week couple with 2 dogs it's ideal for walks nearby lovely places to visit the view from the large garden is breathtaking any time of day. Well equipped and modern but remains a cosy well designed cottage lists of information provided and a lovely log burner.

Lovely, clean well equipped cottage. Two fantastic gardens that are totally secure...the dogs loved them. The view from the rear garden over the estuary to Laugharne is to die for!! There is a pleasant walk to the 'Farmers Arms'in the village which has a dog friendly bar. It's a few minutes drive to LLansteffan and the lovely beach, pubs and cafes.

A unique place great views.Cottages got all the comforts of home.sian and matt so friendly.Great for dogs.

This place is a little piece of heaven. Out in the sticks but only a few mikes from lovely village with spectacular beaches. The info on the internet is 100% accurate but somehow doesn't do it justice until you're there, so perfect. We have just spent a week there with our two dogs (they didn't want to come home either!) Matt and Sian have truly thought of everything to make sure you feel home from home and it's impossible not to switch off and chill. They are the most genuine hosts who are there if you need them. We loved the views, the huge garden, the fabulous log burner which sadly had to light in August, the ability to walk to top of the drive for fresh eggs every morning but most of all the cosy feel of the Den. Can't wait to return.

One of the best cottages we've stayed in. Really cosy and the log burner was a joy to come back to after a long walk each day. Walks right from the cottage, we did the Pilgrim Trail and the Heritage Trail which took us along the coastal path and into woods. Really muddy but it was brilliant. Even had a paddle in the sea on Llansteffan beach (in our wellies!!) Will definitely be visiting this area again and staying at The Den as we spent a week here and didn't get to visit half the places we wanted. Fully recommend this cottage

This cottage is awesome... amazing hosts, Sian & Matt are so helpful & friendly. Amazing views over the Estuary. Excellent for walking & exploring... Laugharne is a must as well as Pendine Beach - 7 miles of fantastic beach. Absolutely dog friendly. Barry the big pig is great. Very romantic with the log burner. Can't rate this lovely cottage enough.. will defo be back. Sian has thought of everything you could possibly need. Such a high standard of accommodation. I would rate this 10/10 Excellent all round.

The Den is a cosy cottage attached to the owners small holding. We had a most enjoyable peaceful week recharging batteries in this lovely cottages which is excellently appointed a real home from home with everything you need. The dog was in heaven with the spacious grassed garden and the bonus of other dogs to run with. The owners are a lovely and very hospitable couple who make guests most welcome. Beautiful views across to Laugharne and Dylan Thomas' Boathouse. The weather was kind to us which was a bonus. Llanybri is a small village with a good pub,The Farmers Arms, which serves interesting combination of Thai and British food both of which are good. Llansteffan has great beach and Billage Dhop which also serves great breakfast! We will most definitely return. Thank you to owners again hope to see you next year.

The perfect cottage for two people and a dog, Secluded garden with views over the estuary, farm animals galore. Our host welcomed us with cake and fresh farm eggs, It was spotlessly clean with very comfy beds. We had one chilly night so lit the cosy wood stove a curled up to watch the telly. Easy access to Lansteffan and Camarthen - lots to see and do in this area, especially castles and beaches !! I cannot recommend this place highly enough and hope one day to return.

The property is modern with quality furnishings and attention to interior design was good. Lots of hot water and a great shower! It was great to be able to park right outside the front door. The entire break was a lovely experience. Words to describe the location, views and the 25 minute wander down the lane to Llansteffan beach - idyllic and tranquil!

The Den is a great cottage, well equipped and in a great location and the owner was very welcoming. Had a great holiday and our dog loved the large garden.

We choose this cottage because we love the area and stopped in a Sykes property at Ferryside last year and were pleased with it. The Den was even better, fantastic views across the estuary to Laugharne, lovely clean cottage, smashing friendly couple who own it and half a secure field for our dog to run round in. Also secure front garden for her while we unloaded the car. The cottage itself is small but ideal for two, fully equipped and a welcoming slice of cake when we got there. An unexpected second toilet and small wash basin in the bedroom, very comfy bed and hidden wardrobe and television complete the bedroom. Kitchen diner, lounge fully equipped, all new equipment. Heating came on when temperature dropped which was welcome at night. Fresh eggs available from the hens and ducks on the small holding. There is also a campsite next door if anyone is interested in that. Owners were lovely and presented us with some eggs when we left.

The cottage was fabulous, like a home from home. The owners were great and couldn't have made us more welcome. Wales is absolutely beautiful very like Scotland we will definitely be back.

The Den is finished to a very high standard, it was beautifully decorated and all the fixture and furnishings were of high quality and everything in the cottage worked perfectly. The patio area and the garden were large, clean &tidy and were both excellent for our dog Ruby to run around in and play, they were very safe for her as well. The owners, were excellent hosts, they were very friendly and helpful and they were very welcoming to us and Ruby. The cottage was exactly as described and the location was perfect for days out.

Y Den is a fantastic little cottage with all the amenities you need to make your holiday special. Matt & Sian the owners along with their two beautiful dogs were so friendly & welcoming to us and our dog Ruby. The log burner in the cottage was a lovely way to end the day. It was great to walk around their small holding seeing the pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. The Farmers Arms in Llanybri was a great place to eat, the Sunday Carvery is a must and they welcome dogs. I would highly recommend this cottage to stay in and Sian is a very good baker. There is plenty to do in South Wales with all the walks and seaside resorts.

We had a fantastic stay at The Den, the owners were so friendly and welcoming. The cottage was a superb standard and the wood fire was wonderful on the chilly April evenings. The location is beautiful, it is quiet with gorgeous views. We really didn't want to leave and we can't wait to go back!

We had a fantastic stay at this wonderful little cottage in llanybri. The Den is fitted to a superb standard, the wood burner made it wonderfully cosy & the location is beautiful. The owners were so friendly & welcoming and the chickens, ducks, pigs & friendly dogs on the small farm were a delight. The views across the estuary were outstanding and the Farmhouse Arms in the village served gorgeous authentic Thai food! We didn't want to leave & can't wait return there soon! Don't forget to buy some of their eggs before you leave, they are amazing!

The owners were lovely and made you feel very welcome. The property was lovely, very well equipped and clean.

Beautiful setting. Quality fixtures, fittings and furniture and very nice owners. We loved the dogs and pigs and geese. Stunning.

The property was excellent in every manner. The owners were very helpful and hospitable which made the week even more pleasurable.

The Den was beautiful and the owner was so nice; we had a wonderful time. We will return!

A lovely cottage in a stunning location. Very clean, cosy and peaceful. Perfect for walking and fantastic views. A great place for a relaxing break. I would highly recommend The Den.

We loved the personal touches fitted around the cottage. The décor generally was extremely tasteful and modern. The owners made themselves totally available, and made us feel completely at home.

Loved the cottage! The owners were so welcoming and made us feel extremely comfortable. It is a small cottage but perfect for 2 people. It had such a romantic feel to it. Lovely views and definitely be going back again soon!

Loved the whole cottage feel to it, especially the log burning fire. The inside of the cottage worked so well together, the space was used really well. It had a romantic feel to it.

Beautifully finished cottage, had everything we needed and extras! View was fantastic from the garden & owners were wonderfully friendly and made sure we had all we needed.

We had a lovely holiday at The Den. The cottage was a really nicely furnished and everything had been thought of for your comfort. It was great having a lovely space outside to sit in the evening or to have breakfast.

My wife and I, with our Irish Setter regularly book dog friendly cottages for short breaks. We can honestly say that The Den is right at the top of the list in terms of location and quality of accommodation.

We were absolutely delighted with this lovely cottage. We could not fault anything, it is such a quiet peaceful place with stunning views from the garden. The cottage is fitted out to a high standard with all mod cons and big enclosed gardens. Thank You to the owners for letting us enjoy your cottage.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful. We had a very relaxing few days and the views are amazing. We would highly recommended to friends and family and cannot wait to go back.
