Royal Family: Inside Prince Charles' sustainable Welsh home which took him 40 years to find

Nestled in the rolling, green Carmarthenshire countryside is a peaceful cottage that for the last 15 years or so has been owned by one Prince Charles. It is here that he stays each time he visits Wales, including his annual stay with Camilla each summer, meaning it will soon be the Welsh home of the King and Queen.

Inside, the cottage has been beautifully restored by Welsh traders using traditional methods. Read more about the royal family here. The property is located just outside the pretty village of Myddfai, near Llandovery, and is actually made up of three cottages, a Grade-II listed barn and a main house. The buildings are set in the centre of 192 acres of beautiful rolling countryside.

Charles' Duchy of Cornwall estate purchased Llwynywermod in 2007 on behalf of the prince, after he had spent 40 years searching for the perfect home in Wales. The purchase cost £1.2m. The original owner of the house from the 13th or 14th century, William Williams, was related to Anne Boleyn. The smaller houses on the estate are available to rent when Charles and Camilla are not using them, but prices can be pretty high. A one-week stay would set you back between £1,000 and £3,000 depending on the time of year.
