Otter’s Holt is a charming, stone-built, terraced cottage nestled in the heart of village of Talley in the Cothi valley, near Llandeilo. Located beside a historic abbey, and within easy driving distance of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, this delightful home is ideal for a family or friends looking to explore the pristine countryside of Carmarthenshire. Park off-road and make yourself at home in a lovely, open-plan living space, settling into the sitting area with a coffee and basking in the glow of the woodburning stove as you plan the day's adventures. When mealtimes call, head over to the kitchen space, where there are plenty of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, as well as a comfortable dining area for the family to gather. Ascend the stairs, passing a selection of books, to find three characterful bedrooms, including a double with blue sky wallpaper and abbey views, a twin with pretty décor and a tastefully furnished single, all serviced by a bathroom which offers a soak amongst the bubbles or a warm shower. Outside, make the most of the charming outdoor space and its views over the abbey or enjoy the communal garden or perhaps take an after-dinner stroll through the meadow down to the shores of the lake.

Llandeilo in picturesque Carmarthenshire, sits proudly on a hill above the River Tywi, the longest river that flows entirely through Wales. This pretty market town has a lovely selection of unusual gift shops, eating places and pubs, whilst visits to the medieval Dinefwr and Carreg Cennen Castles add to the charm. A short drive away is the scenic Brecon Beacons National Park, and the upland landscapes of the Carmarthenshire Fans and Black Mountains are a walker's delight. The beautiful sandy beaches and cliff walks of the Gower Peninsula, plus the ever popular Pembrokeshire coastline are not too far away. This is the ideal location for family holidays at any time of year.
