5 Carwyn, Carmarthen / Carmarthenshire, date of stay: July 2023. Rated this property:

From the original booking to the moment we checked out Del and James were fantastic hosts keeping us informed of all the information we needed to stay at Dolwen. We were a group of 3 adults staying at the property whilst working at the Royal Welsh show. This spacious property was perfect and located in a beautifully quiet spot. Working for the RSPB seeing and hearing the array of birds was a pleasant treat every morning and for anyone looking for ideas on local amenities, the property had loads of ideas for anyone not familiar with the area. Would highly recommend this property to anyone and will be back for another stay. Read more

Great stay whilst mountain biking in Elan Valley. Spacious bungalow ideal as base for walkers, cyclists and sightseers alike. Very relaxing place and so dark and quite at night, never slept better.

Sari, date of stay: August 2021.

Dolwen is comfortable, set in beautiful countryside and offers everything you need for a self catering holiday. We enjoyed the peace, the lovely views and the stunning Elan Valley cycle rides nearby. Very comprehensive information given, and good communication throughout the process - thank you.

Julia, date of stay: September 2021.

Dolwen is set in a large garden, with plenty of space for your dog, and is very spacious inside too. The location is very quiet and tranquil, with a lovely view over the countryside, but within a short drive of Rhayader and the surrounding area. Be sure to visit the Elan Valley trail (much of which is also wheelchair friendly) and Gigrin Farm for feeding the red kites. Rhayader itself has some interesting shops and cafes. The owners were attentive hosts (albeit via email and text): I accidentally left some personal effects behind, and they arranged for them to be posted to me within a few hours. All in all, a very pleasant week in lovely surroundings!

John & yvonne, date of stay: August 2020.

Dolwen is a lovely bungalow this was our third visit and it never disappoints us it's clean got what you need/ Wifi/ mobile reception the kitchen is spacious bedrooms are a good size has was the bathrooms the views are lovely you can relax there i never want to leave it's a spacious bungalow, you're not far from the Elan valley to go to and the red kite feeding station. Rhayader has got what you need shop wise so i would recommend Dolwen for a perfect holiday property.

Melanie, date of stay: August 2020.

We booked this lovely cottage for a holiday with my elderly mother who is in a wheelchair. We lost our father in March and needed somewhere quiet to relax but with easy access to places we could visit. The rooms were spacious and easy for my mother to walk with her stroller. The kitchen is fully kitted out and spacious enough to eat in or there is a table in the living room with views out onto the garden and surrounding countryside. Great area to visit and easy access to main towns and the Elan valley
