2 Bedroom Cottage in Crugybar

One of a group of characterful holiday retreats on a tranquil rural smallholding, this quirky and inviting property is perfect for exploring a stunning part of the Carmarthenshire countryside. Offering cosy accommodation for four guests, the imaginatively updated barn conversion dates back to the 17th century and features timber beams, wall ties, high ceilings, exposed stonework, a welcoming wood burner and underfloor heating. With fabulous rural views, this delightful hideaway also has access to more than six acres of uncultivated meadowlands, making a perfect spot for peaceful walks and picnics by the River Annell. Stabling is available by arrangement.

The property has a colourful and welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a beamed ceiling and stone tiling. Light streams into the lounge, which has a wood burner and a wide selection of books to browse. There’s a lovely central country-style dining table and a traditional, fully equipped kitchen, perfect for rustling up a celebratory family meal. Upstairs, you will find two delightful bedrooms, each with exposed stone walls and wooden beams in the vaulted ceilings. There’s a cheerful twin room with a handy shower cubicle and washbasin, while the stylish double room has an en-suite bathroom area with curtained access and obscured glass tiling. Outside, there’s a patio area screened off from the adjoining properties, with garden furniture and a BBQ, providing a relaxing spot to sit back and take in the serene surroundings.
