These purpose-built holiday cottages (refs 24574, 27255 and 27257) have been constructed or converted from the original farmhouse buildings and an old Welsh longhouse. Welsh craftsmanship at its best - only the finest local tradesmen and materials have been used for the conversion of these buildings. They are situated in an elevated position on the edge of Broadlay near Ferryside on the old pilgrim road to St David’s Cathedral.

There is generous amenity space, dog walking paths and a country adventure play area for small, accompanied children. The complex is on the local bus route which connects to Carmarthen via the hotel and Ferryside railway station. In the opposite direction, Kidwelly and Swansea are en route. Ferryside is uncommercialised, peaceful and quiet; the ideal getaway for a perfect weekend (or longer) break. It is also, due to its proximity to Carmarthen, Llanelli and other centres, an ideal corporate meeting place. Kidwelly, with its Norman castle, industrial heritage museum, Pembrey Country Park and Motorsport Centre, within approximately 10 minutes’ travelling time.

The National Botanical Gardens, Laugharne (famous for Dylan Thomas’ Boathouse) and many Pembrokeshire attractions are about half an hour’s drive. There are many places to visit including Dylan Thomas’ cottage, where he spent the last years of his life. The Millennium Coastal Cycle Path, part of the national cycle path network, meanders through approximately 20 miles of local coastline, passing through local areas of interest. Places to visit include Kidwelly Castle, the Penclawydd Wildfowl Centre, and the Loughor Estuary with views of the Mumbles Peninsula south of Swansea. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

The Berm derives its name from the ancient word for earth mound or fortification. This Berm has been thoughtfully constructed by its owner-architect landscaped into the hillside, keeping nature and the environment at heart.

Entering the property you’ll find an open plan living-kitchen space with a view straight through to the gorgeous garden. Inside, the space is all on one level and boasts a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy sitting area with wood burner, and a dining space. Beyond the living area is a spacious double bedroom with a roll top bath and views over the private garden, plus an en-suite shower room. The eco-friendly structure is grass covered, helping retain heat absorbed throughout the day, and the glass side overlooking the garden faces south capturing the sun. To top it up, the property benefits from a wood burner and electric radiators powered partially by the hydroelectric plant on site.

The garden is what makes this property so special. Decking surrounds the south side which includes a spring fed, plant filtered plunge pool - perfect for a dip after warming up in the log fired sauna where you can enjoy views down the river. The decking offers space to lounge during the day or cosy up around the firepit and take in the starry skies in the evening. The private setting makes for a truly relaxing and romantic break in the Welsh countryside.

Whilst enjoying the peace and quiet of rural life, the location lends itself well to exploring.
