Crooked Hill Cottage Reviews

This is our 2nd visit to Crooked Hill Cottage. We love it! Lin and Keith are such wonderful hosts. We were 2 adults with a dog for 7 night stay. Welcome pack including essentials, bread, milk, cheese, eggs and butter. Lovely treat of wine and welshcakes. All Welsh produce! Then the dog treats such a lovely touch. We would take the dog out for the majority of the day. Round the back of property there is a hotcold water taps which makes showering the dog so easy! Then when coming back in the cottage the heating comes on at certain times of the day which was perfect for coming back after wintery cold walks. The hot tub is a great hit at the end of the day too to unwind and soak the sore muscles from walking. I could go on and on all day but to sum it up. The great thing about staying in Crooked Hill is that Lin and Keith have literally thought of everything you would need to make your stay here as comfortable as possible. Which makes you want to come back time and time again!

The cottage was georgous had everything we needed and more. The surrounding area was so beautiful too. We had a lovely time although the weather could have been kinder we still enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Crooked Hill Cottage, and it was a lovely surprise to see the cottage had been decorated for Christmas. The cottage is really well equipped, the beds are luxuriously comfortable and the hot tub and log burner are a real treat! The owners live next door and are so friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. It's also nice that the cottage feels so private due to the position of the garden and hot tub, you are not overlooked at all. The garden is secure for dogs, although there is a stone wall with a long drop down to a stream, so we did have to watch that they weren't going to do anything daft! This is the best cottage we've stayed in, thank you for such a brilliant Christmas getaway, and hopefully we'll return sometime!

Amanda

Lovely cottage, it had everything & more that we needed, in a peaceful location. . Lyn gave us a friendly welcome & the welcome pack was great, the flowers were so pretty. We really enjoyed the hot tub, so handy being just outside the bedroom door as we were there in November.. The nights it rained we sat in front of the fire which was lovely. We would definitely stay there if we go the Carmarthenshire again

The cottage is amazing in its own right. Never stayed any where so dog friendly this is why we have been twice this year. Lin is always on hand if there is problem. Not that we we had any problems. 5 stars is not enough for this cottage.

Had a lovely stay at the cottage, everything we needed. Lin was great when we arrived showingvus everything we needed to know and although next door it was a very private dwelling. Beds were comfy, shower good, hot tub great. Kitchen was small but well equipped. The surrounding areas were beautiful, stunning beaches and plenty to see. Would reccomend!

Pauline

This is truly a hidden gem, which has been lovingly restored and decorated to a high standard. Lyn and Keith are very welcoming and are happy to help in any way. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely cottage to everyone looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday.

Angela

Amazing welcome pack . The owners were extremely helpful as we had a poorly pooch and Lyn provided the necessary vets numbers . The hot tub was enjoyed by my daughter on several occasions .A very comfortable home from home .

Maureen

Really enjoyed our stay, beautiful area to explore before returning to the cottage to relax and enjoy the hot tub, was like being in your own little tree house, very relaxing. Hosts very friendly and helpful but not intrusive, welcome pack was amazing!

Jackie

This is the second visit and it was as lovely as last time, the hot tub was amazing. I have already booked again for June next year, and we can't wait. See Lin and Keith in June 2024.

We have stayed at crooked cottage twice now and have always found it superb, the owners are very approachable and have always made us very welcome. Love the hot tub, especially after our walks with the dogs. The dogs also love the place and feel at home there. We have made it a regular holiday choice.

Peter Timothy

Lovely stay in a well appointed cottage in a quiet and very pleasant location.

Lin was the perfect host so friendly, welcoming and accomodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would truly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for the perfect escape in the Welsh countryside.

This is the second time we have stayed in this beautiful cosy cottage. We love it , the log burner , the beds, the hotub everything is perfect. Lyn so friendly and lovely to chat to. The welcome package such a lovely touch as there were treats for my dogs. Very thoughtful and kind. Highly recommend and we will be back for a third visit .

Lesley

A beautiful, clean, spacious cottage in a gorgeous setting. Immaculate inside, with lots of lovely homely touches. The welcome pack was amazing and so thoughtful. The pictures on the website, do not do this amazing property justice! A true gem.

My husband and I had the most wonderful week at Crooked Hill Cottage! A tad tricky to locate signage on turning to property could be enhanced and was grateful we were still travelling in the daylight, having said that you are in the midst of the most idyllic countryside! We resorted to using the 3 little words app successfully! On arrival we were given a very warm welcome by Lin the owner who showed us around the most quaint, cosy but spacious and clean cottage we have ever stayed at! The generous welcome pack which included fresh eggs, chocs, wine to name but a few items, was gratefully received. The beds were super comfy, and the added bonus of the hot tub was wonderful to ease those aches after a day out. We managed a few trips out, amongst them Laugharne which is not only a must for Dylan Thomas fans but its vistas are incredible. The immediate area surrounding the cottage has plenty of lovely parks and trails to stretch ones legs! All in all, a fabulous stay in a beautiful part of Wales and we will definitely return to this amazing cottage!!!

We had a wonderful weeks stay at Crooked cottage. The owners Lin & Keith have thought of everything. We arrived to fresh eggs, milk, bread, butter, Welsh cakes and a bottle of wine. The hot tub was very welcoming after our days out and about, and for star gazing. We didnt eat locally, made use of the lovely restaurants in the Mumbles, and when were out and about. We would definitely recommend this cottage, you will not be disappointed.

Jackie

Absolutely beautiful cottage everything was there that you could possibly need, and much much more. The hosts were lovely people and their daughters too. We have already booked for next year, Bobby our dog loved the place he was really relaxed there. The welcome package was much appreciated and Bobby loved his treats. What can I say about the hot tub that Lin cleaned every day for us just the icing on the cake. See you all next year and once again thanks. Jackie,Lew Martin Sue and off course Bobby.

Daniel

Great place to stay and lovely owners. Thank you!

Samina

Just had a week at Crooked hill cottage what a little gem Lin was very welcoming and on hand if needed . We have stayed at many similar properties but this was by far the most well equipped with absolutely everything we needed there and the welcome pack was fantastic especiallythe delicious eggs. Lots of places outside to sit and enjoy the weather either by the bbq or hot tub .Lovely fluffy towels it was home from home . We didn't use the local pub but went to Pembrey Country Park one day and stopped at The Stradey Arms Llanelli for a meal stunning home cooked food also had a delivery from Iocal Chinese Ling Di Long . Anyone staying here you are in for a treat ..

We loved our stay at the cottage, there was just a couple of things that would have been nice to have been made clearer. On th advert it says dogs welcome, but after booking and then receiving the email it turns out there were parts of the cottage the dogs were no allowed, I think this should be made clearer in the original advert as onced booked you cannot get a refund. It was also a shame that the dogs didn't really have a grassy area to be in when om the garden. The hot tub was lovely and the actual cottage was lovely but a clearer description would have been helpful. Lin was a lovely host.

Absolutely stunning cottage, so much space, very clean, everything provided for a fantastic holiday. The hot tub is lovely, location is great, hosts are friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

We enjoyed our stay, peaceful location and comfortable cottage. Spacious bedrooms and lovely fluffy bath towels. We just missed a grassed area for our dog to play ball in, as there is only a small paved area A thoughtful welcome pack was left for us and our dog to enjoy. Lovely area not far from the coast and Brecon

The cottage wells beautiful. It had everything we needed including champagne glasses!! The owners were lovely and even though they lived next door they were not at all intrusive. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay to relax and see some beautiful welsh countryside.

This is an excellent property in a quiet and tranquil location. It is extremely well equipped to a very high standard and beautifully decorated. The owners have thought of everything a visitor might need. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the hot tub is a delight. The kitchen is great with all mod cons. The owners are very helpful whilst offering privacy. This is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.

Sophie

This cottage is just lovely. Furnished to a very high standard with fantastic amenities. The outside area is delightful and the hot tub was very well maintained and just so relaxing. The welcome pack provided was brilliant with lots of treats for everyone even our dog! The freshly laid eggs included were a taste sensation and the owners were lovely too. This place is a gem and we cannot wait to go back.

Jonathan

040222070222 We had the most wonderful weekend at Crooked cottage, everything was perfect. Lin greeted us at the gate and showed us around her beautiful cottage, Lin made sure we knew where everything was and how everything worked so that we had to waste no time looking for anything. Lin made it clear that if there was anything at all we needed she would be there, but also that she would be there only if there was as not to disturb us. The hot tub and log burner was absolutely amazing and added that final touch to an already gorgeous stay. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but the cottage can be a short car journey from plenty of local sights and beaches. We will be coming back. If you are looking for a place to switch off and unwind Crooked cottage is the ideal retreat. Thank you so much. Gemma & Jonathan Bristol.

Gareth

Amazing place to stay. Great location for exploring the local area. The propery had everything we needed and more. It was incredibly spacious and the hot tub was a dream. Highly recommend staying here to anyone thinking about a visit.

Bernadette

Spent a lovely new year week at this comfortable cottage. It is very well equipped and the hosts have thought of everything you could need. It is in a quiet location yet the local town is only 3 mins away by car. A very restful break, hot tub was wonderful after a long walk . Would definitely stay here again hosts very welcoming .

Beautiful, comfortable, warm and cosy. If we could give it more than 5stars we would.

Perfectly remote location but close enough to Ammanford. Swansea and carmarthen are a short drive away. Accommodation itself is exceptionally clean and cosy. Owners are very helpful, would definitely stay again

Michelle

Lovely property owners are really nice too and looking forward to returning.
