About Kidwelly Farm Cottages
The site's two safari tents, Red Kite and Merlin, offer all of the romance of camping with the added luxury of electricity and hot and cold running water. Or why not try the chic ensuite shepherd's hut, with a kingsize bed and hot tub? They are all set in peaceful countryside, with the attractive farmhouse close by, and are walking distance from historic Kidwelly. Each safari tent has two bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and another with bunk beds for the kids. There's also space for an extra fold-out bed if needed. You'll have your own private ensuite bathroom with shower and flushing toilet, and a kitchen area with fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and 4-ring hob, as well as a cosy wood burning stove, comfy sofa and a table and chairs. There's a box full of cards and games in case the weather lets you down, or otherwise sun loungers on the decking and your own wood-fired hot tub - a perfect way to enjoy the unpolluted night skies of West Wales and stargaze. Bed linen and towels are provided. Guests in the Big Cwtch hut are treated to comfy armchairs, a fully fitted kitchen and an ensuite. Outside you can gaze out over pretty countryside or settle back in your toasty electric hot tub to take in the stars.
Safari tents are open from mid-March until the end of September, while the Shepherd's hut is open all year round.
All glamping units have their own private facilities and there are laundry facilities in the farmyard.

We had a great stay in one of the safari tents. We were in red kite which was situated at the back of a field, with the other safari tent towards the front of the field. Great views. Plenty of room outside. The hot tub was a nice touch but does take a good few buckets of wood to get it to the correct temperature and takes about 2hrs- We used it 3 times during our stay. Directly off the field is a gate to a shaded area with a brook and a swing for the kids to play on. There were bats around the area after dusk and we loved spotting them. There were sheep, horses, cows, cats and chickens too. You could orgsnise to collect fresh eggs in the morning. Yummy. The tent itself was a good size with everything you needed in it- beds were really comfortable. The shower was a bit fiddly to get hot water but Peter came over to explain the knack of doing it! Everything was provided in the kitchen, including tea, coffee, sugar and olive oil.....not forgetting the Welsh cakes. There was a folder of useful information of things to do in the local area. There's a barn area just up the drive from the tents with a ping pong table, swing, slide, trampoline and basketball hoop. There's also a washing machine and tumble drier but we didn't use those. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and in a good location for exploring the surrounding areas. We would definitely consider visiting again in the future.
A beautiful spot

A really relaxing stay in this lovely spot. Views were spectacular from Big Cwtch and everything was cosy, if a bit snug. Loved watching the morning sun from the hot tub.
Great stay however felt some improvements were needed

My partner and I arrived at the site and was greeted by the host who gave clear instructions on how to make it to the hut. However, the road was fairly uneven and had potholes throughout. Although suitable for my car, many may struggle. We parked with no issues and came into a space that had a prepared fire space which was a perfect setting for us beginning. Snacks upon arrival and provided toiletries and towels made an efficient and pleasant stay. The fire did die down and ran out of logs. However after a quick call, we were told to drive back up the uneven road to meet someone for more. The hot tub area was excellent. It was easy to use and a great style for anyone who wants to use it. We loved the space and the relaxation offered. We went to heat up food in the kitchen space however, this proved to be an issue. This space was appealing as it had this option and we wanted to bring some food that was cooked by us. However, due to the pot not registering with the induction style hob provided, it refused to heat up. After many failed attempts and google searches, we were forced to drive to a neighbouring town 25 minutes away. What was meant to be a heated up, home cooked meal turned into an hour round trip. Despite this mishap, it was an excellent stay and a fantastic option for anyone looking. Issues being the road and pot issue, we would recommend to those looking for a lovely night away overlooking the Welsh views.

Site rules and policies
We are sorry but there are no pets allowed as the campsite is on a working farm with cattle and sheep in the adjoining fields.
Things to do on site and in the Kidwelly area
The site has a children's play area in the old farmyard with swings and a slide, as well as a trampoline, ride on buggies and a table tennis table. There's also a picnic area down by the brook where children can paddle safely.
There are cattle in the farm's fields, chickens to feed and eggs to collect and a footpath down to the town.
Off site, you'll be spoilt for choice for beaches and castles. Walk down the footpath to visit Kidwelly castle, one of the best in Wales, or head off to Carreg Cennin, Llansteffan or Dinefwr.
Pembrey Country Park is on the doorstep and has a 7-mile stretch of safe sandy beach, and plenty to do besides including and adventure playground, dry ski slope and toboggan run, pitch and putt, riding stables, cycle paths and cycle circuit. Other local beaches are at BurryPort and Ferryside, while Tenby and the Gower beaches are approximately an hour away.
Nature lovers might like to spend the day at the National Wetlands Centre in nearby Llanelli or visit the National Botanical Gardens and the house and gardens of Aberglasney 30 minutes away.
The old market towns of the area, Carmarthen and Llandeilo, are well worth a visit too, as is Dylan Thomas' Boathouse in Laugharne.
The site overlooks the coastal path and is close to cycle route 4.
