“Little Brook Cottage was everything described on the Sykes website and more.”
We spent 2 weeks on holiday here and the time went in a blink of an eye. Both the cottage and garden were perfect. Cottage itself was very roomy, the kitchen and living room downstairs, were very well laid out and had everything we needed. From the living room we had a lovely view of the garden from the comfy sofa's, this meant in the evenings we could watch TV, read a book and still take in the beautiful views. We never got round to using them, but there were board games, jigsaws, books ...

We never got round to using them, but there were board games, jigsaws, books available to use.
The kitchen was really well equipped, I do not think it lacked anything. We were able to cook a good breakfast each morning. Having the dishwasher and washing machine was a great benefit, did not have to do the big wash when we got home, both outside washing rotary and clothes airer for drying.
It was lovely that Steve and his family had left, tea, coffee, milk and some cakes/biscuits for when we arrived, were very welcomed. I had organised a Tesco delivery for following day, so with these welcome nibbles and a breakfast the following morning at the café next door, did not have to bring loads of food with us.
Upstairs both bedrooms were very roomy, plenty of storage and we found the bed super comfy.
Now one very important, thing that especially, put the icing on the cake.
Our fur baby Bella, loved her time here, garden was super safe, we double checked, but there was nowhere she could escape, she is a Lab to give you an idea of her size. We were there the time, when we had a few very hot days. Too hot to go far, the garden is a very good size and we were able to sit out, reading and relaxing in shade, enjoying the beautiful views, every couple of hours, we would put Bella's lead on her , take her out the gate, to the little brook that flows just outside and she would take a paddle and dip to cool herself down. Also during those hot days, we took her out early, drove the 3 to 4 minutes into Laugharne, park up at the castle, there is a lively stream/ ford there for a dip too.
The cottage has cool flagstone flooring downstairs, so lovely for a very furry hot dog.
Steve is a great guy, very friendly and made sure that we knew we could call on him at any time, if we needed anything, but gave us privacy.
On the getting something to eat, as said the kitchen here is great and has every thing you need to cook your own meals. Laugharne itself, every eatery is shut on a Monday evening apart from Browns, but you would need to book in advance as it gets very busy, because of that. We went to the Carpenters Arms on a few occasions, open on a Monday but shuts Sunday evening. Food here was really good and very reasonable, very nice atmosphere and very dog friendly.
Sunday evening was also a struggle to find a meal, most seem to do Sunday lunch and then close. We had a couple of good meals in Pendine, lovely beach also.
The only bad food we had was from the chippy in Laugharne, we had decided to have a take away, it was still lovely and hot when we got back to cottage, but cod was not very white, did not taste good, and very, very expensive.
There are lots of lovely places to visit, NT , beaches, enjoyable walks, there are leaflets in a drawer in living room, I added a couple of dog friendly articles to this drawer too.
If, when, in this area again, I know exactly where we will be staying .
