Loved the cottage, central location for all our activities we had planned, everything you could ever need us provided, hot tub was lovely although I would like it perhaps a degree warmer, but its massive and we loved it, we had a wonderful time and would love to visit again in the near future

Lovely cosy cottage. Great hosts and a lovely hot tub!

This cottage is a perfect haven for peace and tranquillity. It was spotless throughout with quality furnishings. The hot tub was great after a day exploring. The owners are very friendly but leave you in complete privacy. The welcome pack provided was very nice with local produce. We will definitely look to book again in the future.

We have Just had a lovely family holiday me my husband,daughter and our 2 dogs. Lin was so welcoming and the hamper she provided was really nice even had dog treats. The hot tub was amazing it is so quiet and peaceful here and you are only five minutes from the town throughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing cottage we stayed here for 7nights. The cottage has everything you could need log burner and hot tub are also amazing! Bed was also very comfortable and kitchen has everything you could need! Very thoughtful welcome back also which was great fully received Even some treats for the dog ! Even though the owners are just next door the cottage feels very private however they are right there if you have any queries! We took our border collie and the garden was secure for him to roam whilst we enjoyed a relax in the hot tub! Would highly recommend this cottage feels very secluded however only a short drive to Tesco and local shops. We had lovely days out in Tenby, Saundersfoot, burry port llanstefan and ferry side. The only downside was having to come home! We will Definately be returning to this beautiful little cottage.

Christine

Crooked cottage is the perfect place to explore South Wales you can easily reach lovely beaches, beautiful countryside, waterfalls, rivers and hills. We had a great time with our dog and we were made to feel very welcome and we definitely felt at home for our week. The cottage is amazing with everything you would need, it was clean and bedding smelled lovely. The log burner and hot tub just topped it off and we even had a sprinkling of snow. So much more we want to explore I will definitely book again. Thank you

Perfect cottage stay away, really felt like home, my diabetic almost blind dog was settled in straight away and the amount of safety gates around was brilliant, I even though your living attached to the owners property privacy is 100! Bet it is beautiful during summer time!

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!

Rosetta

Beautiful little cottage in a stunning part of the world the pics don't do it justice. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and stress free week. The welcome pack bottle of wine, bread, eggs, milk, Welsh tea cakes and dog treats for us and our dog Buddy was greatly appreciated. We used the lovely comfortable bed there are two double beds on the first floor. It was very comfortable and the bedding smelled lovely and fresh. Due to it being February the log burner was very much appreciated and used every night, even though the cottage was warm throughout. It was the perfect place to walk the dog and visit other places of interest. There is also local shops and eateries nearby if needed. The icing on the cake was the hot tub, which we used throughout our stay and was the perfect way to relax at the end of the day. Lin and Keith are great hosts and were easily contactable if needed, but never intruded on our privacy. Thank you both for a great stay and we will definitely return. Rosetta and Andrew x

Ashley

We have just returned from a lovely holiday at Crooked Hill Cottage. We are a family with two young children and a puppy. The cottage had everything we needed and was just gorgeous. All the furnishings are high quality, the beds are the comfiest I've ever slept in and the hot tub was fantastic

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.

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.
