The Coach House, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Boasting wonderful rural views that are amongst the finest Britain has to offer, the Coach House is a real escape experience that takes you back in time and back to nature. On the top floor of an historic Coach House, it has its own terrace, bathroom (with shower) and a log-burning stove (from our own coppiced woodland) and is a real romantic retreat, decorated in a traditional style, retaining original features and a rustic feel. You can take a hearty, fresh breakfast in the main house - choosing from sausages, eggs, honey, jams and more produced on the farm (plus delicious fresh bread). 

Whilst the Coach House is usually closed during the coldest part of winter, it can be opened for those wishing for a longer stay during this period. Like the rest of Mandinam, it is ideally situated for walkers wishing to explore the farm, Carmarthenshire and further into the Brecon Beacons and beyond - the countryside of South West Wales is truly beautiful. Mandinam is a 450-acre working farm boasting Herefords and Sheep with lovely views over the Towy valley and you're guaranteed a warm welcome.

"This really is a room with a view. Wake up in the morning and open the front door of this restored stone farm building, and you look straight out over the undulating valleys of Carmarthenshire's Towy Valley."
