About The Area

Laugharne and Eating Out

No trip for two would be complete without memorable meals together. Laugharne has plenty to offer. Browns Hotel, famous as Dylan ThomasÂ’s preferred drinking establishment, open for lunch or supper, is just up the road from this cosy cottage.
Just down the road is the Cors Restaurant, awarded Good Food Guide & AA Restaurant Guide double Rosette. A romantic restaurant set in a Â‘fairy-taleÂ’ garden with unpretentious, well-executed, straightforward cooking.
Hidden in the marshlands just outside the village, The Corran Resort & Spa offers pampering spa treatments and a restaurant where the ethos is to offer Â‘well-prepared, thoughtfully cooked and beautifully presented cuisine with more than a hint of Welsh character.Â’

Dylan Thomas Boathouse and Writing Shed

The Boathouse has a long history associated with the water trade of the estuary but became famous as the home of Dylan Thomas from 1949 to 1953 - the last four years of his life. He worked in the boatshed, writing some of his most famous works there looking out over the water, and the influence of this Â’heron priested shoreÂ’ is evident in his work.
The Boathouse is now open as a museum Â– check the opening times on the website www.dylanthomasboathouse.com .

Laugharne Castle

Laugharne Castle is a ruin which dominates the town riverside. First built in the 11th C as an earth and timber structure, it was built in stone in the 13th & 14th C's, turned into a Tudor mansion in the 16th and now for over 20 years has undergone painstaking archaeological investigation and restoration.
The magnificent Georgian and Victorian gardens overlooking the river Taf were an inspiration to the two great modern writers, Richard Hughes and Dylan Thomas Â– in fact there is a turret room in the castle grounds which overlooks the estuary, laid out as Dylan Thomas used it.

St Clears & Food Shopping

Just 4 miles drive takes you into the village of St Clears, once a thriving port on the River Taf , where there is a newly opened riverside walk to enjoy. Local food shops include NeilÂ’s, an excellent fish and chip take away and two prize-winning butchers, Philip Hughes (Pie Makers of Distinction) and Eynons (BritainÂ’s Best Butchers & Food Hall 2007).

Go Wild Adventures, St Clears

Experience a thrilling day out canoeing, kayaking, archery, initiative games, coasteering, orienteering or horse riding. There are so many adventures to choose from. Booking is essential.

Ffos Las Racecourse

Ffos Las, the first turf racecourse to open in the UK in more than 80 years, is a 30 minute drive away.

Carmarthen County & Market Town

Visit the ancient market and county town of Carmarthen (13 miles away), which with its Roman foundations is said to be the oldest town in Wales. Bustling with individual shops, there is a good range of local amenities including supermarkets, filling station, chemist, doctor, vet, bank, post office, internet cafÃ© and chain stores.
There is also an indoor market where you can buy delicious local produce, browse second hand books, antiques and more. Carmarthen's new shopping centre claims the West End has come to West Wales.

Pendine Sands, Ginst Point and beach riding

Pendine Sands is a 7-mile stretch of beach running from Gilman Point to Laugharne Sands, occasionally used for motor racing and land speed record events.
However, a great variety of birds can be seen on a sand pit at Ginst Point; the extensive scrub attracts finches and other passerines and the inland areas, large flocks of golden plover and lapwings. (Ginst Point is used for weapons testing and so access is limited but usually available at weekends - phone ahead to avoid disappointment 01944 452310).
A favourite pastime on Pendine is beach horse riding Â– try the award winning Marros Riding Centre

Caldey Island Boats, Tenby

Just over 20 miles to the west is Tenby Â– a picturesque harbour town with Norman town walls surrounding cobbled streets, a bustling centre and wonderful beaches to the north, west and south of the town.
Take a trip from here to Caldey Island, home to Cistercian monks, and enjoy the island beaches, countryside & produce.

The National Botanic Garden of Wales and Aberglasney

Heading inland, just over 20 miles away is the beautiful National Botanic Garden of Wales near Llanarthne. This is a 568-acre parkland containing, both historic and futuristic buildings, horticultural displays, flower meadows, lakes and walks, shops and cafes.
Just a little further away near Llandeilo is the medieval house and gardens at Aberglasney. This beautiful site has a rich history which has been preserved for the public by the Aberglasney Restoration Trust and, featured on several television programmes, has been open to the public since 1999.

Carmarthen Leisure Centre and Swimming Pool, Johnstown

Enjoy the eight lane, 25 metre, infinity pool and other sports facilities whatever the weather.

Days Out

The vibrant market town of Llandeilo, one and a half hours drive away, is packed with interesting independent shops, award winning chocolatier Heavenly Exquisite Desserts, quirky cafes, bars and restaurants. The Ginhaus bar/deli is recommended for good food and a great atmosphere.

A cute retreat for romantic couples in the heart of Laugharne once home to the celebrated Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.

St Martin's Church, Laugharne

A cruciform shaped church with huge square tower supported by pointed arches. It has been a place of worship since Norman times. The church was restored in the 15th C and again in the 1873.

Llanstephan

Prehistoric people have left their mark in the form of Stone age burial chambers, Bronze age standing stones, burnt mounds and fortifications, Iron age hill forts and hut circles.

Llansteffan Castle

The castle was strategically placed to guard the Tywi estuary. It was built within the still visible ramparts of a late Bronze age hill fort. Originally a wooden 11th C castle was built which was then replaced in stone by the Norman invaders in the 12th C. It was considerably extended in the 13th C. After a period when it was used as a comfortable residence it was eventually abandoned in the 16th C and left to ruin.

St Anthony's Well

St Anthony's well is situated on the road that once led to Laugharne ferry. Pilgrims on route to and from St Davids would stop off at the well to refresh themselves.

Hwyel Dda ruled over most of the country and claimed to be the King of Wales during the late 9th C. His legal system was known for its wisdom and justice and was still in force until the act of union in 1536. A memorial garden was chosen as a quiet contemplative environment in which to explore his laws and early medieval society.

Kidwelly Industrial Museum

Carmarthen Castle

Earliest records mention the castle in 1094 and by 1105 Carmarthen town was mentioned by name so the castle was certainly on its present site by then.

Allen & Tina - Thu 21.07.2016

What a lovely cottage! We have had a lovely holiday here. It's a good base to explore the area- the coastal path walks are brilliant. The beaches at Stackpole and Angle just great! We liked the garden at Colby (Amroth). Sunday lunch at the Ferryman's is superb. We hae enjoyed everything so much we will be coming back soon.

Rachel and Toby (Somerset) - Sat 26.11.2016

We have had a lovely short break here- What a great base for exploring this compact and cosy cottage makes! Super shower too, all very clean and comfortable. We have been very lucky with the weather, so much to see and do even at the end of November! We had a good meal at the Browns and were delighted to find the bakery in Victoria St, just up from the Three Mariners. This is a lovely part of Wales and we shall return when everything is open (like the castle and the Tin Shed museum). Thank you for a lovely place to stay in.

Graham & Carol, Melbourne, Australia. -

Enjoyed our stay in Laugharne which provided a great vantage point to visit the many towns and villages in this part of Wales. We found the cottage comforable and well appointed with great attention to detail. A home away from home.

Many thanks for putting together such a pretty cosy little cottage. We had a fabulous stay and have felt really 'at home' in our little house. Laugharne is also lovely and we've found loads to do- mostly a stone's throw away. Thanks again.

Jane, Geoff & Albi, Doncaster. - Sat 05.08.2017

Lovely cottage, well equipped. The space has been well thought out. We both fell in love with Laugharne and it exceeded our expectations. Very dog friendly area and we all loved the beaches. Many thanks.
