Our journey so far

2024 has marked an extraordinary first chapter for Cambrian Cottages. From welcoming dawn arrivals to braving winter storms, every moment has shaped our story of sustainable hospitality in the heart of Wales. While managing peak season transitions and tending to every detail ourselves, we've continued to enhance your experience – including our newly installed EV charging point and improved access.

Recognition for sustainability

Our commitment to responsible tourism has earned recognition from the Carmarthenshire Tourism Association, with both the 'Best Self-Catering' and 'Bro y Byd' sustainability awards. This success has led us to the Visit Wales National Tourism Awards finals, where we'll represent South West Wales in March 2025.

We're also pursuing the prestigious Green Tourism Business Award, demonstrating our dedication to sustainability across every aspect of our operation. This comprehensive standard includes evaluation of our:

  • Sustainable construction materials

  • Energy efficiency measures

  • Waste management practices

  • Support for local businesses and producers

  • Guest experiences that celebrate Welsh culture
