The cottage has an idyllic rural location and setting next to a working livestock farm. As well as being close to The Brecon Beacons National Park in Carmarthenshire, the holiday cottage also has on its doorstep The Crychan Forest allowing many miles of walking and cycling trails. There is a fully equipped cycle hire with delivery to the cottage by arrangement. The Crychan Forest has a rich diversity of mammals, insects and birds, including red kites, goshawks, sparrowhawks, buzzards, peregrine falcon, nightjar, goldcrest, siskin, willow warblers, wood warblers, song thrush and jay (for more details see this informative BBC article). For anglers, there is over seven miles of fishing on the banks of the rivers Towy, Bran and Gydderig along with riding and pony trekking also available in the area.

This holiday cottage is only four miles from Llandovery, an ancient market town on the River Towy with post office, railway station, taxi, supermarket, internet, launderette, take-aways, shops, restaurants, pubs and indoor swimming pool. Recently, in 2006, Prince Charles established his home in Wales just two miles outside Llandovery at Myddfai. Other interesting local market towns are Llandeilo (approximately 20 minutes), Brecon (30 minutes) and Lampeter (40 minutes).
