About this property
This semi-detached Ferryside holiday cottage is located in the heart of this pretty seaside village, tucked away from the main through-road in a quiet residential square. The owners have furnished and decorated this cosy Ferryside cottage with a seaside and fun theme which adds to its charm. The sitting room with dining area has a light and sunny feel with the bright colours and seaside pictures almost beckoning you to leave and run down to the beach, but before you do, please explore the rest of this delightful Ferryside cottage. The kitchen completes the ground floor at this cottage in Ferryside, then wander upstairs to the three decorative bedrooms, all with their own unique style. A double and twin room are suitable for older ones, plus there is also a spacious bathroom. Stroll down to the beach at any time of year, whether on sunny days to make sandcastles or on windy winter days to blow away the cobwebs. The days out along this spectacular coastline are varied and endless, either by car or by train. Guests can enjoy cycle trails, coast path walks, explore nearby castles, take a steam railway ride or just relax on the beach. From this delightful seaside cottage you will be spoilt for choice.
The pretty coastal village of Ferryside is a thriving community that still retains its village atmosphere. With a wonderful sandy beach, a general store, cafe, Post Office and pub, the village has a full range of amenities for visitors. Regular trains stop in the village providing easy access to Camarthen, Pembrey or Llanelli and the wide range of attractions in the region. The busy market town of Camarthen has plenty of shops, tea-rooms, restaurants and pubs to choose from while a visit to Pembrey Country Park, with its sandy beach, toboggan run and dry ski slope, is a great day out for all the family. There are castles, craft centres and mills across the landscape as well as the mysterious Merlin's Hill Centre, shrouded in myth and legend and rich in wildlife. With walks from the doorstep and the cycle trail at the Millennium Coastal Path close by, this is a perfect a base for a relaxing or an active holiday for the whole family.

Everything we needed was provided and we were especially grateful to have milk, cheese, bread, butter and cake left for us by the owner. The village is very quiet and peaceful but is well placed for exploring the area, by car or by train.

The mugs in the kitchen were not clean (tea stains) and the glasses were a mish mash of styles and one was not clean. There were only 2 bowls despite the cottage being for 4 people. This did not trouble us but I would not see this as a well equipped cottage and the standard of pans, crockery, glassware etc. was not that high in terms of condition and cleanliness. Thankfully, we did not need to cook. There were a few cobwebs - from the bathroom cabinet to the toilet shelf, above the front door as examples - and I was concerned enough to take photographs because of the threat of losing the £100 bond I had paid. We left the cottage as we found it. We did find the warnings not to touch the boiler or increase any use of the heating (as it was set) as the oil was low made us concerned. The cottage was chilly. The electric fire in the downstairs room did not really help that much even with the doors closed and the curtain pulled across the front door. It is not that I want to paint a bad picture here. Its just that that had we been staying for a week, we would have found the experience below what we would expect and disappointing. For £350 for two nights, it did not live up to expectations. We did have a lovely time in Ferryside catching up with friends which was the purpose of our visit.
