The Old Forge Pumphouse was built in 1939 pumping water down to a factory 5 miles away. It was completely renovated in 2007 in a modern, contempory style. The holiday accommodation is in an adjoining annexe to the owner's property. The Pumphouse is in a two acre plot with river frontage (Gwendraeth Fach). The annexe has outside seating area where you can enjoy the peace and quiet. There is a host of birdlife (kingfishers, dippers, buzzard to name but a few). Otters have been seen along the river and pipistrelle bats fly on summer evenings.
Accommodation Summary : The annexe has a double bedroom, bathroom with shower attachment and kitchen / lounge area. The kitchen is well equipped with electric oven with ceramic hob, fridge, microwave, kettle, plus a good supply of crockery, glasses and cooking equipment. The lounge has a two seater sofabed, Sky TV, table and chairs. The house and holiday let are heated with underfloor heating.

Suitability :
Non Smoking Only, Pets Allowed, Children Welcome
Notes on Amenities :
The annexe essentially sleeps 2 people but a 3rd can be accommodated with the following arrangement. We now provide a travel cot & highchair for small children, but would like to stress that the accommodation is only suitable for 3. We also have a sofabed, thus accommodating an older child or adult (again 3 people only). We do not charge extra for a child that usess the travel cot (please supply own cot bedlinen), but if the sofabed is required an extra charge of £30 per stay will be added to cover the extra preparation this would incur (bedlinen etc). Please advise in your correspondence to us.

Kidwelly offers many attractions. The medieval castle and old priory church are in the centre of the town, whilst the industrial museum is just outside at Mynddygarreg. The yearly carnival is held in July, whilst the castle offers medieval attractions during July and August. For the walkers there is the Millenium Coastal Path and plenty of footpaths in the area.

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
