Those who choose to can also arrange to get stuck into farmyard activities which is sure to be a novel experience for children.

The quaint detached cottage promises the perfect base for exploring the local wildlife and hiking routes too.

In the heart of Carmarthenshire, the small farm is just a few miles from Kidwelly which has plenty of small independent shops to nose around in as well as restaurants for when you don’t want to cook.
