Carmarthenshire
View on Google MapsPhoto: Talog Country Retreat
The hot tub is the draw here—a seven-person spa set in an enclosed garden within 30 acres of Carmarthenshire farmland, with uninterrupted views across rolling hills and woodland. Shooting Star is a converted barn finished to high standard, completed in 2022, with room for eight across four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has French doors opening onto a decked area with Indian sandstone paving; upstairs are three further bedrooms, one with an ensuite. The main bathroom serves the other rooms. Each bedroom has a TV, and the property includes wi-fi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels.
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking—electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, microwave and the usual appliances—and there's room for groups to gather. Private parking fits three cars, including an electric vehicle charging point. The approach has step or ramp access. One pet is welcome, and a travel cot and highchair are available on request.
Carmarthen town centre is twenty minutes away for shops and restaurants. Nearby are the medieval castles of Kidwelly, Dynevor and Carew, walks in the Preseli Hills, and the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. Smoking is not permitted inside.

We had a lovely few days over Easter bank holiday 2025 at Starlight cottage. Directions to get there were simple; we did go through some long windy roads to get there, but we didn’t realise there was an easier road (which the hosts told us about, we just hadn’t checked!), so once we used those roads, it was much easier. The place itself was surround by beautiful greenery and was very clean! Kitchen was kitted up with all cutlery/utensils/pots and pans, so it was very helpful as we had 3 little ones with us. The place is very child friendly, and bedrooms were good sizes. The hottub was a really good size, and very easy to use, water stayed clear as long as we followed the instructions. Would definitely recommend for families and groups of friends/couples. We would 100% come back here to stay! Thank you to Yovanah for being available for any questions and replying straight away. It really enhanced our stay and overall experience! The sunrise views from the cottage was actually incredible - see photo! So beautiful.

Brilliant cottage in a peaceful location. The rooms were all a great size and the cottage had all amenities we could ask for as well as being very clean and tidy. The hosts were brilliant throughout our stay and couldn’t have been more welcoming to our family.

Stunning and clean cottage in a beautiful location which is nice and out of the way. Perfect for non city people or if you just need an escape from everything. It was bliss to look at the stars from the hot tub without any light pollution or cables ruining it. There’s a lovely little walk right on the doorstep too. I only met one of the hosts but he was more than helpful and very welcoming. You’re left to your own devices but they’re always on hand if need be. Would definitely recommend :)
