The space
This beautifully renovated luxury conversion of a 200-year-old stone barn seamlessly blends classic charm with modern amenities, featuring exposed stonework and beams.
The open-plan kitchen, complete with an island, serves as an ideal entertaining space, featuring a dining area, and bifolding doors leading to your very own hot tub retreat! Whip up culinary masterpieces with not one but two ovens, microwave, a warming tray for those fancy dinners, a wine cooler to keep the bubbly chilled, and a full-size fridge and separate full-size freezer, plus a dishwasher and a Quooker tap for instant hot water magic! The large refectory style table with comfortable seating is the perfect place to sit and enjoy time with the family over a lovely meal, or playing the board games available.
If you fancy relaxing with a good book, snuggle up on the oversize armchair overlooking the patio and hot tub, or make holiday memories with photo opportunities with the cap and gown prop. This property is truly a very special place.
Feel cosy with underfloor heating flowing throughout the whole property. Movie night? We have this covered! Grab the popcorn and sink into the plush sofa in your cinema room while watching your favourites on the fabulous 83-inch Smart TV.
The ground floor also hosts a downstairs WC, a study space (in case a guest needs to work during your stay), and a super king bedroom, accompanied by a modern wet room, designed for enhanced accessibility, making it an ideal sanctuary for the family's older members.
The upper level comprises three additional bedrooms: two kings with beautiful en-suite shower rooms, and one twin. There is a beautifully designed bathroom including a freestanding bath for added luxury.
Outside, the property boasts a charming, large, wrap around, enclosed terrace with outdoor seating area, a small lawned area, secure off-street parking for 3-4 vehicles, and an electric vehicle charger. This exceptional property also features a relaxing seating area and a hot tub that accommodates up to eight guests.
It is the perfect extended family escape, or group get together for eight adults (with space for a cot and an additional smaller guest on request).
The Local Area
This property is conveniently located just a few minutes off the A48 in Carmarthenshire, which is so accessible from the M4, and a fantastic base to the rest of West Wales. Its set in a beautiful rural setting, yet a short drive to many great amenities, with the small village of Llanddarog, just 1 mile away with a shop, Post Office and two village pubs, The Butchers Arms and The White Hart. Also located within a mile is the award-winning restaurant, listed in the Michelin guide, “Y Polyn.” In addition, The National Botanic Gardens of Wales, also housing a Bird of Prey Centre, is within walking distance (1.5 miles) and well worth a visit.
All parts of West Wales are accessible from The Old School House, the amazing beaches and country park at Cefn Sidan (Pembrey); the hidden gem that is Llansteffan Castle and beach; Pendine Sands – 7 miles of sandy beach used in 1924 to set a world land speed record; Tenby, an ancient walled town and adjacent island of Caldey; the smallest city in the UK, St. Davids, with its mighty cathedral; the beautiful market town of Llandeilo with its stunning surrounding landscape including Dinefwr Park and Castle, and of course the Brecon Beacons.
The ancient town of Carmarthen, birthplace of Merlin and the oldest town in Wales, lying on the River Towy is just 7 miles away, and has many local independent shops, bars, restaurants, and an indoor market. The town has a Roman Amphitheatre, castle, and a museum in the old Bishop’s Palace.
For thrill seekers there is a Theme Park at Oakwood, please check their website for opening times. For the younger guests there is also Folly Farm, the Dinosaur Park in St Florence, Heatherton, Anna’s Welsh Zoo to name a few. As well as many indoor play centres, a climbing wall, Velodrome, cinema, and Bowling Alley can also be found in Carmarthen.

Had a fantastic family stay in the old school house. The facilities are high spec with a well equipped kitchen, in fact I’m now on the unit for a new bathroom following our visit.!
The only down side was that there are no draws or wardrobes in the bedrooms and therefore we were living out of suitcases for the week.
Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Our stay at The Old School House in Carmarthenshire was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was something special.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area, with underfloor heating and a boiling water tap, was impressive, and we were greeted with a lovely hamper.
The living room had a cosy sofa facing an 83-inch OLED TV with a great sound system. Every detail in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and en-suites was finished to the highest standard.
The hot tub was a perfect way to end the day, and it was here my partner proposed—I’m happy to say, I said yes!
The house is easy to find, with ultra-fast gigabit broadband and immaculate cleanliness.
We truly loved our stay and look forward to returning one day. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
