About the home

Laugharne is the place where Dylan Thomas 'got off the bus, and forgot to get back on again', and with stunning views over the castle and lovely walks and good restaurants on your doorstep this cottage is the perfect place to unwind.

You may not want to go further afield, but if you do, the vast sand beach at Pendine, the National Botanic Gardens, the lovely town of Tenby, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and all Pembrokeshire's tourist attractions are a short drive away.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Downstairs is a well equipped kitchen and a large open plan dining / living room with stunning views to the front. The kitchen has patio doors onto an enclosed private patio garden.

Upstairs is one large bedroom and a spacious bathroom with roll top free-standing bath. Access to the bathroom is through the bedroom, so although the canopy bed offers privacy, this cottage is most suitable for a couple, or a young family.

Further details outdoors:
The kitchen gives access to an enclosed garden which is very private and is in sun for most of the day. Just across the road from the front door is a nice little park which is a lovely place to have a glass of wine and watch the sun set over Carmarthen Bay.

Beyond that is the foreshore with coastal and woodland walks in easy reach, including a short walk to Dylan Thomas' Boathouse.

Further details

Feel free to bring a well behaved pet, although guests will be responsible for any damage. Smoking in the garden only, please.

There is a comfortable sofa bed downstairs and little ones are welcome to share the bedroom. Camp beds or a travel cot can be provided for a small charge. Please enquire when booking.

Conditions

25% deposit when booking, or 6 weeks before arrival.

Smoking only in the garden, please.

A well behaved dog would be welcome.

On arrival, please bring a £75 deposit against damage which will be returned within two weeks of departure.

The West Wales / Pembrokeshire / Carmarthenshire region

Laugharne is near the Pembrokeshire border and offers easy access to the facilities of both counties. Carmarthenshire is known as the 'Garden of Wales' and is home to many lovely gardens, including the National Botanic Gardens.

It is an excellent place for an activity holiday with facilities ranging from golf to paint balling and white water rafting within easy reach.

A short drive from Laugharne at Amroth is the start of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and Tenby is nearby. Pembrokeshire has many family attractions, including Alton Towers and Folly Farm as well as its famous beaches and scenic beauty.

The Laugharne area

Laugharne has a long history and is the oldest self governing township in the country. In Arthurian legend Merlin predicted'," Kidwelly was, Carmarthen is, and Laugharne shall be the greatest of the three". Dylan Thomas took another view and described it as: a 'timeless, mild, beguiling island of a town'. He followed Caitlin & Augustus John to Laugharne, and stayed.

Others seem to have felt the same: Kathryn Hepburn came for the night, and stayed three days. I myself only came for the afternoon one day. It is a lovely community, which welcomes visitors and quickly makes them its own. A tour of the castle is well worth while, and Dylan Thomas' Boathouse is open for visitors.

There are several good restaurants and some nice pubs, a good riding stable and lovely walks. At the spring tide the town floods, usually harmlessly, and there is a carnival atmosphere. It is a lovely place.

Laugharne has a regular summer festival and there is a literary festival in the spring. On summer weekends there is usually something going on.

There is a lot of information on the township website: http://www.laugharne.info/Laugharne%20Corporation.html

Laugharne is easy to find. The M4 from London or Cardiff brings you to Carmarthen, and the A40 leads you to St Clears.

From there, the road to Laugharne is well signposted and takes you through the town. When you see the castle on the left, you will see the cottage on the right.

If you are arriving by air, we may be able to pick you up at the airport for a reasonable sum, and of course car hire is available. Once you are in Laugharne you can walk to everything you need, although of course you might want a car to explore more widely.
