Book Cottage

If you can picture a majestic cottage, birds singing, spring water running and breath-taking views, then this is where your retreat begins.

With any city stress dropped clean away, you’ll hear hooting owls, maybe the footsteps of a passing deer and nothing else but the wind in the trees.

Gather round the wood-burner as the night draws in, while a dinner of local produce from the nearby farm shop simmers on the hob, and plan your day of tranquillity for the day to come.

But stepping just outside of this haven of natural beauty, the cottage is located 3 minutes north of Llandeiloand 10 minutes east of Carmarthen.

Whilst Carmarthen is probably best known for its legendary connections to Merlin and its Roman Heritage, the first place to talk about is Llandeilo.

This part of Carmarthenshire is one of the most magnetic destinations in the region. Rural chic, the fashion pack and ladies who lunch, a town which is blessed with smart boutiques, excellent eateries and beautiful historic buildings. It’s alsowithin easy reach of some of the area’s top attractions from gardens to castles to stately homes.

Llandeilois packed with gorgeous Georgian and Victorian buildings, many of which house chic boutiques, art galleries and inviting cafés. And if you follow the river eastwards and reach the quaint village and Iron Age settlement of Garn Goch, you will find Wales’ second largest hill fort, where the tranquillity of views will simply blow you away.

Carmarthen

With mystical and gladiatorial heritage, Carmarthen is the oldest town in Wales.

Once the capital of Wales, Carmarthen boasts two modern shopping centres with all of the best of the high street at St Catherine’s Walk and Merlin’s Walk.

It is said Carmarthen is the birthplace of Merlin and on a visit to Carmarthenshire County Museum you can see the last piece of Merlin’s Oak, where legend has it that if it’s removed, the town will fall, so probably best to leave it there.

For a step into history, start your trail at the Roman Amphitheatre near Priory Street, for a rare peep at the lost civilization that first settled here, before exploring the ruins of the 12th-century castle on Notts Square, which once protected this area above Carmarthen Bay.

Wander around the stalls in the striking modern Carmarthen Indoor Market, where the most delicious local produce, unique art-craft and boutique accessories can be found.

Tip

For the more adventurous eaters, wander into Old Town, where you'll find several quaint restaurants flourishing with quality. For veggie or vegan options, try the organic restaurant, The Warren, in Mansel Street.
