    “We (a family with two teenage kids) spent 12 wonderful days at the Castle School House in July 2024.”

    Within the picturesque village of Kidwelly it is situated in walking distance between the castle ruin and its former castle gate. The spacious cottage with three lovely bedrooms gave us a lot of room for recreation. The interior has its very own nostalgic charm, yet the place also offers any convenience we could ever dream off. The living room where you find several comfortable seats and sofas is large and cosy and also has a big-size flat screen TV where we enjoyed watching British films ...

    Within the picturesque village of Kidwelly it is situated in walking distance between the castle ruin and its former castle gate. The spacious cottage with three lovely bedrooms gave us a lot of room for recreation. The interior has its very own nostalgic charm, yet the place also offers any convenience we could ever dream off. The living room where you find several comfortable seats and sofas is large and cosy and also has a big-size flat screen TV where we enjoyed watching British films and series in the evening (every now and then we also made use of the impressive dvd collection). The big kitchen is extremely well-equipped for a holiday cottage and includes everything you need for extended breakfasts and home-made lunches or dinners, which we liked to have in the comfortable and atmospheric dining room. Alternatively, we could also have used the secluded terrace which also enables you to relax in privacy. On arrival we were surprised to discover that our hosts had provided us with an initial supply of biscuits, tea, coffee, chips, chocolate and even milk so that we felt very welcome and could start relaxing right from the very first minute. A big thanks for that to Christine and Mike. Mike also dropped in personally to make sure we had everything we needed. Living next doors, he was always approachable in a very forthcoming and discreet way. Our absolute favourite in this cottage was the bathroom, which not only offers lots of space as well, but also has state of the art sanitary facilities. While already the shower was far above the average holiday cottage standard (always cold and warm water available and a perfect water pressure!), there was even a bath tub which we enjoyed using after our long sightseeing tours to interesting towns and cities in South West Wales. We will always enjoy to remember this holiday in an absolutely lovely house.
