An ensuite shepherd's hut with its own luxury electric hot tub offers the perfect romantic getaway for two.

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.

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.
