Lovely cottage situated at the end of a quiet mews. Good eating places in easy walking distance. Laugharne has lots of good walks and further afield is the lovely walk from Colby Gardens to Amroth. Another place we enjoyed visiting was Lawrenny Quay.

A warm and functional base in small town setting.

Everything worked, spacious rooms, beds comfortable, owner went out of their way to be helpful. I have stayed in town before but I found this house and it's patio to be quite overlooked. Easy level walk to centre of town though, allocated parking and no traffic noise was a definite bonus.

Very homely

Very comfortable house tucked away at the end of the mews. Woken up each morning to a chorus of birds which was lovely. Only downside I would say is that it needs a king size bed rather than just doubles.

Comfortable well equipped cottage in the heart of Laugharne

Loved our week in Little Avalon. The cottage is comfortable in immaculate condition and very well equipped and decorated . There is good outside space and excellent TV package and the two decent size double bedrooms both have comfortable beds . Communication with Andrew was excellent and the home baked welsh cakes from Angela accompanied by a bottle of wine were there to greet us on arrival . The property is in the heart of Laugharne ( but v quiet) and near to all the sights and amenities - shop pubs restaurants castle Dylan Thomas’s boathouse , numerous beautiful walks and is a short drive from the beautiful Pendine Sands. Laugharne is a real gem of a town and include proximity to many great walks sights and beaches . We definitely want to return and throughly recommend both the area and the property. 😀👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Toller Urlaub

Der kleine Ort Laugharne eignet sich wunderbar, um den Süden von Wales zu erkunden. Besonders, wenn man in dem schönen Häuschen Little Avalon wohnt. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll, teilweise (z.B. die Küche) wirkt es nagelneu. Die Ausstattung ist vollständig, von guter Qualität und alles ist sauber und aufgeräumt. Hier wohnt man gerne!

Kleines verstecktes Juwel, nur zu empfehlen

Eine sehr schönes Ferienhaus in einer ländlich ruhigen Kleinstadt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Räume sind sehr nett und zurückhaltend dekoriert, sodass ausreichend Abstellmöglichkeiten für Urlauber vorhanden sind, auch in der Küche. Diese ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war hervorragend. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Obwohl der Ort klein ist, überrascht das Dexters in Browns Hotel mit einem der besten Steaks, die ich jemals hatte. Auch der Burger war ein Gedicht und ist sehr zu empfehlen. Auf den ersten Blick etwas teuer, aber die Fleischqualität erklärt den Mehrpreis selbstredend. Einen Besuch sollte man auf jeden Fall einplanen. Auch haben wir in der Umgebung einige unerwartete Entdeckungen gemacht, z. B. das Museum of Landspeed in Pendine. In den wilden 20er Jahren wurden hier Rekorde in den Strand gebrannt. Mit 280km/h über den Strand sind auch heute noch eine Leistung. Zusammengefasst: Das Haus ist für uns jeden Penny wert.

Very comfortable stay

Had a lovely weekend at this very cosy cottage. Well placed close to the centre of the village (but back off the street so it was very quiet throughout). 2 spacious bedrooms and a well-stocked kitchen. Has its own parking space and a useful convenience store just around the corner. Communication with Andrew was excellent throughout and the tips of places to visit in the welcome pack was much appreciated! Highly recommend this cottage and would happily stay again

This property rental was excellent from booking to returning keys coming home. The area is stunning for views and we never had to go far to find somewhere interesting to explore. The property itself was well laid out with good parking and very warm for April. Would recommend this property to people wanting to get out walking.

We have just returned from staying in this lovely house, it is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It’s in an ideal location within walking distance of several places to eat, drink and places of interest. It’s also an ideal base to travel to various locations I.e.
