Set in a walled garden which slopes down to a small river, Sannan Court is an imposing Victorian house opposite the 13th century church, at the centre of this small, attractive rural village. The house is divided into 5 self-contained apartments, having been completely refurbished. There's plenty of free parking in the courtyard, and a large communal garden to enjoy in fine weather. We are on site in the house across the courtyard so we're able to welcome our guests and can be on hand if any advice or assistance is required.

We came to south west Wales because we love the area and are happy to make suggestions about things to do. We're keen on countryside, music, art, organic food, renovating houses, vintage cars and motorbikes, cosy pubs and cafés, and people. Derek is keen on running, for which the area is brilliant, as well as for walking and cycling/mountain biking.

The pretty village of Llanfynydd is just half an hour from the western end of the M4, less than 5 miles off the A40, yet is set in lovely, rural, hilly countryside dotted with farmsteads. Red Kites and buzzards circle the skies and you can see for miles from some of the high points. The local area is famous for its rivers (Tywi and Cothi), forests (Brechfa, with its walking and mountain-biking trails - please check with Natural Resources Wales for trail closures), gardens (Aberglasney and The National Botanic Garden of Wales), iron age hill forts like Garn Goch, romantic ruined castles to climb up to (Dryslwyn, Dinefwr and Carreg Cennan), the Dolaucothi Goldmines, and the Gwili Steam Railway. We are also perfectly located for going further afield in every direction; in half an hour you'll be at a pretty estuary (Llansteffan); 45 minutes east will take you to the Brecon Beacons National Park, and you can reach wonderful coves, resorts and harbours on both the south and west coasts from between 45 minutes to 1hr 15 depending on your pick. In between there are interesting market towns for cosy stop-offs. Or head north to go farther into the Cambrian mountains.
