Castle & Campfire

Set in the Carmarthenshire countryside, this contemporary house is built for groups who want space to spread out without sacrificing a sense of calm. A large dining room brings everyone together, while two distinct living areas – one bright and social, one tucked away with books and board games – mean there's room to gather or disappear. The flagstone rear terrace is made for long evenings outdoors, with a dedicated barbecue and alfresco dining area framed by open fields. Llanarthne village is less than half a mile away, and day trips to Pembrokeshire or the Brecon Beacons are well within reach.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair and travel cot. Make sure to request them ahead of your arrival.
* You'll need a car to make the most of this location. Carmarthen, the nearest large town with supermarkets, pharmacies, and shops, is just over seven-miles away – around a fifteen-minute drive.
* While the sixth bedroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* Guests are asked not to enter the surrounding fields at any time.
