Shopping
Where are the nearest shops? The closest shops are in Llandeilo about 3 miles away which is a lovely little town with boutique shops. You will find 2 small supermarkets including Co-op, 2 butchers, a deli, bakery, cafes and takeaways for food shopping. If you have time it is worth browsing the boutiques and independent shops including Toast, a fabulous cookshop and Toy shop. Do Supermarkets Deliver to the Cottages? We are lucky that Sainsbury, Asda and Tesco all deliver to Cwmcrwth Farm Holiday Cottages. If possible please arrange for deliveries when you will be in the cottage as we cannot guarantee we will be in the cottage courtyard to receive your shopping or clean enough (as we work out on the farm). If you get delayed then please contact us and we will do our best to be available for your delivery. PLEASE NOTE: Our address can sometimes be listed in Welsh on supermarket websites so the alternative is: Cwmgrwth Farm |
