    “This is a wonderful property in a beautiful setting—very clean, well presented, and comfortable.”

    We hadn’t realised there wasn’t a TV, but the owner kindly provided one for us when we enquired about this. (We didn’t watch much TV, however, it was still nice to have it for the evenings.) There wasn’t a microwave or a freezer compartment in the fridge as described in the listing, although the kitchen was otherwise well equipped. Overall, a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. We would definitely recommend it.

The property

Llandovery 4 miles.

West Cottage is a beautiful courtyard retreat surrounded by rolling countryside near the peaceful village of Myddfai, Carmarthenshire.

This distinctive cottage is based at Llwynywermod, previously the residence of King Charles when he was Prince of Wales and lies within a 196-acre estate of farmland and woodland, offering a memorable escape for families, friends and couples in search of peace and outdoor pursuits.

Positioned around a courtyard, shared with Gatekeepers Cottage and North Cottage, alongside the former royal residence, West Cottage combines seclusion with a sense of heritage.

The estate, part of the Duchy of Cornwall, boasts a rich history, having once belonged to a relative of Anne Boleyn and overlooks an 18th-century country park with 40 acres of woodland.

From the moment you arrive, the surroundings evoke a quiet sense of grandeur, where nature and history are deeply intertwined.

Inside, the cottage is tastefully appointed with its carefully curated interiors.

The kitchen blends traditional charm with everyday functionality, featuring tiled floors, white cabinetry, wooden worktops and an exposed beam that nods to the building’s past.

It’s a welcoming space for leisurely breakfasts and hearty dinners, fully equipped for self-catering stays.

The dining room offers a relaxed setting for shared meals or planning the day ahead, with soft natural light enhancing its inviting feel.

Beyond, the sitting room provides a peaceful spot to unwind, where deep blue sofas rest beneath a striking wooden beam and plush carpeting adds a layer of comfort.

Upstairs, two well-presented bedrooms offer restful spaces to recharge.

The king-size room is warm and inviting, while the twin room features zip/link beds that can be arranged as a super-king if preferred.

Both rooms are finished with soft carpets, exposed beams and thoughtfully chosen artwork, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.

The shower room is light and airy, with a Velux window framing the sky, while a separate bathroom with a bath and hand-held shower offers a calm space to relax.

A ground-floor cloakroom adds extra convenience.

Step outside into the enclosed private garden, where the lawn invites barefoot strolls and the patio is ideal for open-air dining.

As the sun sets and the barbecue warms, this space becomes perfect for relaxed evenings and shared stories.

Beyond the garden, the estate opens up to wildflower meadows, traditionally farmed fields and tranquil woodland paths.

No pesticides are used here, just nature, carefully nurtured.

Guests are welcome to explore the walled garden, complete with a conservatory and sun room, or take part in wellness retreats offering yoga, reiki, foraging and guided walks.

West Cottage is more than a place to stay; it’s a chance to reconnect, breathe deeply and experience the timeless beauty and heritage of Carmarthenshire’s landscape and of its royal connections.

Note: This can be booked with refs. 1181897, and 1181898, together sleeping 14 guests.

The Royal Connection

The Royal Connection consists of a stunning selection of heritage-steeped cottages resting on the peaceful outskirts of Myddfai near Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, set around a shared courtyard on the historic Llwynywermod estate. Formerly the Welsh residence of King Charles III during his time as Prince of Wales, the estate carries a rare and meaningful royal legacy. This collection offers access to 196 acres of traditionally managed farmland and woodland, with wildflower meadows, quiet trails and open countryside cared for without pesticides, alongside wellbeing experiences such as yoga, reiki, foraging and guided walks.

Each cottage also benefits from its own enclosed private garden and convenient on-site parking, making it a lovely base for families, couples and groups of friends. The surroundings enjoy rolling countryside, where days unfold at a slower pace, shaped by landscape, history and a strong connection to the land.

Treat your loved ones to a meal out at nearby eateries such as The Bear Inn in Llandovery, offering a welcoming pub setting, or Tudors Café for relaxed breakfasts and light lunches after mornings spent exploring the estate or surrounding countryside.

Make the most of your location by exploring the landscapes and stories that define this part of Wales, whether discovering the heritage of Myddfai, enjoying scenic journeys through Carmarthenshire, or heading further afield where Bannau Brycheiniog National Park unfolds in a sweep of dramatic peaks, hidden waterfalls and heather-cloaked hills, inviting walkers, cyclists and nature lovers to explore its untamed beauty. From the legendary waters of Llyn y Fan Fach to the market-town charm of Llandovery, there is something to suit every pace and interest.

Discover The Royal Connection and enjoy an estate-set escape shaped by history, landscape and the enduring beauty of Carmarthenshire.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
