Vacation Rental Description
The Old Forge Pumphouse was originally built in 1939. In 2006 it was completely renovated in a modern style. The holiday accommodation is in an adjoining annexe to the owner's home. The property sits in a 2 acre plot with river frontage (Gwendraeth Fach). 
 
The annexe has one bedroom for accommodating two people. A small child could be accommodated on a sofa bed in the lounge area. The bathroom has a bath with shower attachment for washing hair and the kitchen / lounge area is well equipped with electric cooker, fridge, microwave, Sky TV (with sports package), DVD player and welcome pack. There is an outside seating area and we welcome guests to explore all of our 2 acre plot. 
 
The local town of Kidwelly, with its castle, many pubs and food outlets is nearby. Brechfa Forest and the Brecon Beacons are within easy driving, as well as the market town of Carmarthen, Llanelli, Pembrey Country Park, Swansea and Gower. Lovely beaches in Pembrokeshire are within a short drive, along with the bustling town of Narberth, which has an abundance of food outlets, craft shops and places to explore. Kidwelly is ideally situated as a central point - there is always something to do whatever the weather.

We also have a sofabed, thus accommodating an older child or adult (again 3 people only).

    A wonderful scenic venue in which to base yourself to explore the area. Cathy and Paul were fantastic hosts and the annex was very well equipped. The food pack was a great surprise on our arrival, and was most welcome. An altogether fantastic weekend, we will be back.

    Come and share the magic of our valley

    Paul and I moved to The Old Forge Pumphouse in June 2009 to fulfil our ambition for a quieter, more restful life. Our life has definitely been quieter, but we have had the busiest year of our lives! The property had been renovated before we bought it, but we still had to put in the finishing touches (mirrors, curtain poles, wardrobes etc). The land was a blank canvas - the grass was thigh high, there were no flower beds, shed, or paths and the land was covered in bramble and nettle. We have gradually cleared, started putting in flower beds and fruit / veg areas, paths and a shed. Of course it is all work in progress, but the bare bones of our new life is taking place.
    We opened the holiday let in August 2009 and have had a steady stream of visitors, all enjoying the peace and quiet of the valley; listening to the river rushing past; watching the fabulous bird life or visiting the many attractions this area has to offer. If you enjoy walking or cycling you can either take the coastal path or travel a short way up into the Brechfa forest or Brecon Beacons. There are many castles to explore, National Trust houses, gardens, market towns and sandy beaches. This area has something for everyone.
