A wonderful 4 nights in this very special place. Thank you Adam and Lou for giving us this opportunity to enjoy all you have achieved at Llwynbwch and to exlpore this beautiful unspoilt locality. We loved Derwen - its situtation and the thought that has gone into creating a cosy but practical place to stay. We had a wet day and really appreciated the facilities ‘up the road’ in Ty Mawr.

Thank you!

I came here to do a little writing retreat and it has been absolutely perfect; so tranquil and beautiful. Everything has been clearly made with so much love and Adam and Lou are the most lovely people you’ll ever meet!

Some of my favourite delightful surprises / additions are the coffee machine in Ty Mawr, the mini herb garden outside Derwen, the picnic blanket which meant that I could sit outside, even after the rain, the log burner - so cosy!

Thank you so much Lou & Adam for all your hospitality

Everything was just perfect - such amazing attention to detail. I had the most wonderful sleep and glorious day getting lost in the countryside. Not to mention one of the best roasts ever at Y Castell in Llangadog.

Hopefully I will be back!

A repeat visit as we’d loved it so much last time & it didn’t disapoint. What a lovely cabin with everything we wanted and endless nature to enjoy.

‘Wild eyed, wicked and oblivious’ were recommended if we liked folk music and their performance in Salem didn’t disapoint, albeit a little bit crazy, we loved it!

Thank you Adam & Lou for your hospitality and for sharing this beautiful location.

Look forward to returning again soon

The most amazing cabin with beautiful views and lovely country walks. We wanted to be off grid and that’s exactly what we got.

The hosts have been amazing, showing us where everything is, we couldn’t be happier!

We’ll be back, thank you!

Just fantastic - the cabin is so cosy and spacious. I loved the risen-up bed with the settee underneath. I sat and watched the birds in the morning and was very pleased to hear a bullfinch one day!

I was able to practice my fire lighting skills (I think i’ve got the hang of it now!) and had a great time exploring the land around the site (I even caught a glimpse of the Exmoor ponies). Ty Mawr is a lovely relaxing place to hang out during the day - in fact I didn’t really want to go anywhere else! We even had a visit from the cat on the last night :)

Would love to come back - thank you!

We had a really wonderful stay!

Everything is incredible well thought through from the lights on the paths to the window on the mezzanine bunk. A very inspiring place to stay - we would love to come back.

Thank you for a beautiful slow and calm stay. Very much needed in the speed and noise of the current world.

Thank you for reminding us to switch off and re-connect with the world.

Beautiful details and effort you’ve gone to to make it as special as it is.

So thrilled to come back for our third stay after our second, way back in 2018! The cabin was just as we fondly remembered. The addition of Ty Mawr the new communal space is fab.

Everything we needed for a relaxing and restful weekend.

We won’t be leaving it so long until our next visit! Thank you

We had such a wonderful stay in this cosy cabin. The little details really made for a perfect stay - we loved playing the guitar and playing Scrabble. Ty Mawr is fantastic - having a fridge and hob is so useful. Loved going for little walks in the hills nearby and a quick pint of Gower Gold at the Sexton Arms.

Wood burners were so lovely and the firelighters got everything going so quickly.

We’ll definitely be back, such a perfect peaceful spot for a restorative break. Thanks!

Thank you so much Adam & Lou for this lovely cosy cabin. The BBQ was a success and nothing beats a game of Scrabble by the fire after!

This was a much needed break and we look froward to coming again.

PS we were amazed with all the clever little details in this place!
