Laurel Cottage at Glanmedeni

A quiet cottage for two with space to breathe - with an enclosed garden, a fire pit, and stargazing under a big West Wales sky.

It’s peaceful here. Private. Comforting. And if you’re bringing your dog, you’ll find it’s the kind of place where they can settle in straight away.

Laurel Cottage is a calm little retreat in the West Wales countryside, made for couples who want to slow down and spend time well — unhurried mornings, long walks, and evenings outdoors under a big sky.

Whether you’re here for long, windswept walks or quiet coves and coffee stops, you’ll find plenty within easy reach.

Fantastic 4 night stay at Glanmedeni. The setting is beautiful with gorgeous beaches on your doorstep. The accommodation was spotless and attention to detail in the guidebook makes everything easy. Jess went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed..... the welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the home made food delicious. We’ve raved about it to friends and plan to return!

The Forge is the perfect place to unwind. The building has been renovated to the highest standard with quality fixtures, fittings evident everywhere. Our host Jess was very generous with her welcome baskets of goodies. It was so quiet and a perfectly dark sky to enjoy the stars. A great location to explore the nearby coastal path with other walks just outside the door. We will definitely return.

Darron

The perfect place for a peaceful couples retreat, with the beach a 10 minute drive away with some lovely pubs to grab food or drink.

The cottage itself has been fully refurbished with everything we needed. I would fully recommend to anyone wanting to get away, recharge and reconnect.

Absolutely loved our stay in The Forge at Glanmedeni, it was the perfect weekend retreat. The accommodation has been finished beautifully by Jess and was a pleasure to be in (especially a bed that’s genuinely comfortable!) The views at Glanmedeni are stunning and we particularly enjoyed walks on the nearby Tresaith beach and in the ancient Tŷ Canol woods, which were magnificent and only a short drive away (also a must see for any lotr fans!) Highly recommend and very much looking forward to staying here again soon!
