Look around the mill

At this level, you'll find Carders Corner and Spinners, which are opposite each other. You have to go down one flight of stairs to reach Wheel House and the Bobbin Box, which both also have doors directly into the garden (Carders Corner and Spinners have doors out to stairways into the garden). Each apartment has a seating area with chairs and a table right outside its door into the garden.

All of the apartments have been rated 4 star by Visit Wales (the Welsh Tourist Board). Each apartment has its own bathroom, well equipped kitchen, cosy lounge/dining room and two bedrooms:

The lounge/dining room has a comfortable three-piece suite/sofa, a wood effect stove, a colour flat screen television and a video recorder/DVD player, a dining table and four dining chairs. Free Internet connectivity can be provided on request.
The kitchen is fully equipped including a full sized oven, electric hob, microwave, slim-line dishwasher, fridge and separate freezer.
The bathroom is fully fitted with an electric shower over the bath.
There is a double bedroom with four poster bed and a twin room with two single beds. All bedrooms have a double wardrobe. The double bedroom has a DAB radio with IPOD dock.

Gardens surround the mill, with lawned areas to sit and picnic, a stone BBQ, a hot tub. a swim4spa (where you swim against a current - like a running machine for swimmers), a BBQ hut which sits 16 and lets you BBQ whatever the weather is doing, a butterfly garden, steps into the river to paddle and pergolas to watch the world go by. The sounds of the rivers and birdsong is everywhere. There is a Summer House to relax in with a library, stereo and CDs.

There is extensive woodland all around the mill. There is a trail into the woods, with rustic seats and a bug pit for "mini-beast safaris". There is a meadow next to the mill gardens which is cut for hay each year. There is a walk along the river through this meadow which meets up with the woodland walk and has picnic benches by the water. Footpaths run through the woods and up the river valleys to the open fields beyond.

You are welcome to go wherever you want in the mill's 13 acres of gardens, woodland and meadows, except a couple of places such as next to the wheel which has been railed off for safety. Children must be supervised, especially near the river, so we have fenced the garden near the wheel so that parents can relax. Garden tables and chairs are provided in this peaceful riverside garden. There is plenty of space to move them to your preferred picnic site.

You can tell your friends that you enjoyed a walk to the next county - you don't have to tell them that you only had to cross the bridge in the garden! (one side of the garden is in Pembrokeshire, the other side is in Carmarthenshire.
