5
Star Award
Given 5 stars by Visit Wales, the Welsh tourism office, Ty
Rhosyn (Rose Cottage) is a previous winner of Kidwelly in bloom
and gets its name from the beautiful rose-filled garden which
surrounds it.
Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of the ancient town of Kidwelly, Ty Rhosyn is deceptively spacious. From the road it has the appearance of a cosy cottage but it is spacious enough to accommodate five bedrooms within its three levels and can comfortably sleep up to ten people. The property’s elevated position ensures extensive views over the spectacular tidal estuary of the Gwendraeth River towards Pembrey Forest and Cefn Sidan sands.
Enclosed Garden
Ty Rhosyn’s charming enclosed garden has a level lawn, a generously
sized patio with wooden furniture for al fresco dining and
a double children’s swing. The green house has tomatoes
(in season) and fresh herbs for guests to enjoy during their
stay and there is ample off-street parking for two cars.
Warm Welcome
Upon arrival guests will discover a welcome pack containing
tea, coffee, sugar, bread, butter, milk, welsh cakes, and
Penlan free-range eggs fresh from our own farm, whilst the
larder contains essentials such as salt, oil, sauces etc.
Luxurious 100% cotton sheets and towels are provided for
your comfort and well behaved dogs are welcome, although
visitors will need to supply their own dog beds, towels etc.
A short path leads through the rose garden to the front door of Ty Rhosyn which is located on the first floor. The welcoming entrance hall leads to the kitchen and lounge and has wooden staircases leading to the upper and lower floors.
Kitchen
The large, airy kitchen is fully fitted and includes a split
level cooker with oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave,
toaster and a DAB radio. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility
room which contains a washing machine and has a separate
cloakroom. The utility room also provides access to a metal
staircase leading down to the rear garden.
Lounge
The spacious lounge contains comfortable sofas and armchairs
to help you relax after a busy day enjoying all the area
has to offer. There is a large flat screen TV and BluRay
player and a simple-to-use wood burning stove for cosy nights
in. Ty Rhosyn is fitted with WiFi and has a satellite dish
which guests are welcome to use with their own Sky box.
Dining Room
Linking the kitchen and lounge is an elegant dining room which
comfortably seats ten people. The lounge and dining room
both have sliding patio doors which open onto a south facing
balcony. An elegant bistro set is provided so you can sit
back and enjoy panoramic views over a landscape which changes
with the ebb and flow of each tide.
Top Floor
The top floor has two well appointed en-suite bedrooms, both
of which enjoy the benefit of spectacular views across the
estuary to nearby Pembrey Forest. Bedroom one is a fresh
and airy double bedded room with twin prospects offering
views over the town as well as the estuary. Bedroom two is
cosy but spacious and has a luxurious king size bed. Both
en-suites have a toilet, shower and sink.
Ground Floor
The other three bedrooms contain twin beds and are located
on the ground floor. Bedroom three is a bright and airy en-suite
which has a whirlpool bath and direct access to the garden
via a patio door. Bedroom four has a serene atmosphere and
a delightful garden view framed by tumbling wisteria. Bedroom
five is spacious and relaxing and benefits from views across
the garden and estuary. Bedrooms four and five share a large
family bathroom which has a shower over the bath.
