Dolwilym – large self catering houses | self catered accommodation | Wales | Pembrokeshire | Carmarthenshire |
First established in the 16th century, Dolwilym is steeped in history.
We have two properties available for rent (The Cuckoo House & The Old Bakery), both part of the original estate. Sleeping up to 8 or 9 people respectively, great for large groups.


Located in the beautiful Taf Valley deep in the Welsh countryside, Dolwilym is right on the border of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. You approach the property through a huge stone archway and down a meandering country track into the stunning valley below. There are 7 acres of lawns and woodland in which to wonder. Specimen trees planted hundreds of years ago, including a huge weeping willow and rare Genko, are still growing strong. There are rhododendrons, daffodils and a stunning bluebell wood in the spring.
For those of you with a laptop or Smartphone a super quick broadband WIFI network covers both properties. You even get reception out on the lawn!
