Laugharne is known for its association with the poet Dylan Thomas, and a trip to his Boat House and the writing shed where he composed most of his works is an unforgettable experience. The castle sits atop a low ridge overlooking the expansive Taf River Estuary. Lovely strolls around the castle grounds reward visitors with stunning views of the estuary and can be followed by cream teas in quaint tea rooms, pints in the local pub, or souvenir shopping at the castle's mini market. Pendine, a nearby beach known for its flat, seven-mile stretch, has been the site of many world land speed records. Tenby and Saundersfoot, both on the coast, are also within driving distance. There are wonderful day trips to be had at nearby castles, mills, and craft centres, and the area is conducive to strolling at any time of year.

Pictures didn't do it justice. Everything you could possibly need for a short, or longer stay. I imagine the garden would be bliss in the summer/warmer months! Only one thing to note was that the sofa and chairs were very low to the ground when sat on, which may be an issue for older adults if staying. After long days of sightseeing I struggled somewhat to get up from the sofa! I would book this cottage again in a heartbeat and have shown it to everyone I know!

It was a nicely presented cottage with an enclosed garden which was brilliant for our dog. It was good to be within walking distance of the estuary, Castle & Dylan Thomas Boat house. The cottage could benefit from a few additions, such as a heater in the toilet & a small corner hand basin on the left hand side of the toilet as you go in, because once youâve used the toilet you then have to go to the bathroom next door to wash your hands, which you have already spread germs on the toilet chain, light switch & door handles. A blind on the landing would provide some privacy at night & noticed this was mentioned in a review back in March, but still not applied. I found it difficult getting up from the low settee with an dodgy knee as well as going up the stairs where the hand rail was so short, it didnât provide support to the full length of the stairs. We have stairs at home so going up & down stairs with a dodgy knee is something I am use to, but with a longer hand rail for support. Not sure why there is a large table & 6 chairs when the cottage only sleeps 4. The beds were very comfortable & had the best nights sleep Iâve had in a long time. Enjoyed our week away.
