Description

Pontyates 2.6 miles. Nestled in the charming hamlet of Five Roads near Pontyates, home to two traditional pubs, is this delightful Lodge set on a 40 acre farm. Boasting remarkable views of the rolling countryside, as well-as a luxurious hot tub for a soak under the stars, this welcoming abode is the idyllic location for a group of four friends looking to get away from it all or a family holiday. Be greeted by ample off-road parking, leave your vehicle to take in the quaint surroundings with refreshing, earthy air. For those wanting a more energetic time the Carmarthenshire footpath network runs through the farm and the renowned Swiss Valley Cycle Path is just 900 metres away. Take a few steps up to the lodge to discover the lovely open-plan living space; here you can unwind in the sitting area on the sumptuous sofa as you catch up on some well-earned television. Step over to the compact kitchen area to prepare a heart-warming meal; cook up a storm in the electric oven or take advantage of the microwave for an easy meal. When dinner is served, settle down at the wooden dining table, break open a bottle of wine and toast to your rural retreat.

For an alternative dining arrangement, gather around the outdoor table and BBQ to enjoy a tasty dish, al fresco-style, before taking a leisurely dip in the hot tub.

As the evening draws to a close, head back inside to the warmth, and rinse off in the shower room to prepare for a night's embrace. Choose between two pretty bedrooms, a king-size with a handy en-suite WC and a twin. Wake-up with a steaming cup of coffee in the garden to begin your day with handsome views of luscious greenery. Lodge is an excellent base for exploring, visit the cascading Trimsaran waterfall, stroll around the loop of Swiss Valley (lower) Reservoir, or be amazed by the medieval remains of Kidwelly Castle/Castell Cydweli, which dates back to the 12th century. Take a short drive into the wonderful Country Park and Beach at Pembrey or head off to Ffos Las Racecoure. Travel a little further afield to the market town of Llanelli or to The National Botanic Garden of Wales, for an engrossing walk around the gardens, which is also home to a tropical butterfly house, as well as cycling along the South coast at The Millennium Coastal Path, offering amazing sights of the sea. You can also spend time at The Wetlands then enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea at Lanelly House. Settled near the River Towy, is the county town of Carmarthen, home to a 12th century castle, Gwili Steam Railway for a scenic ride through Wales and Oriel Myrddin Gallery to view contemporary art and culture. For a relaxing escape with your friends or family stay at The Lodge.

We booked 3 nights at this site and I must say it was lovely all round.

Sonia and David are the best hosts! When we arrived both Sonia and David welcomed us to the caravan. We even got introduced to their 4 lovely dogs. They showed us where things were. In the caravan there was a little basket of tea and coffee with sweets, hot chocolate and biscuits for us. They even had things for our dog. Bowl, treats, poo bags, food mat and dog blanket, which was so lovely. The caravan itself was clean and smelt lovely and stocked with all you would need for your stay, towels, tea towel, washing up liquid cleaning products, bin and food bags, foil and cling film, Tupperware, hand soap and toilet rolls. All we needed to bring was our food and drinks. My son was very happy when he was told that there was some chocolate bars in the fridge waiting for us. Everything a family need was there and Sonia had thought of everything. The hot tub was being fired up by David when we arrived and we couldn't wait to unpack and get in it. Unfortunately the second night the water had gone a little smelly as it was a hot day but we got in nether the less. There is a washing line for drying your clothes and also a basket and pegs provided. The picnic table had a umbrella also. All the bedding was clean and smelt lovely and we couldn't wait to get into it. The mattress was a little uncomfortable (I am used to a foam mattress) as I could feel the springs but it wasn't an issue as I just placed extra blankets down. I would definitely come back to this place! It was so peaceful and relaxing. We may try the pods next time as they look lush. A massive thank you to Sonia and David for everything! We will be returning. 10/10 Claire, Rich, Jayden & Sky xx

We had a fantastic stay - the lodge is super comfy and the extra touches like actually having useful kitchen supplies like sandwich bags and lunchboxes was great!

The hot tub is fantastic and it is so beautifully quiet here . There is even a safe field where you can let your dogs run off the lead x. There are some great dog friendly walks and places to visit - recommend Pembrey Country Park and the Greek deli in Burry Port. The hosts were super helpful and responsive and lovely to chat to xx. Highly recommend.
