  • Traditional Welsh stone cottage that’s 150 metres from a picturesque sandy beach on the Tywi Estuary
  • Sea views from the front two bedrooms make this a special seaside escape

Property code: OC-88784

Situated in a quaint coastal village, approximately 150 metres from the sea and across the water from Llansteffan Castle, this charming property is an ideal family seaside escape.

South of Carmarthen, Ferryside is a seaside village with plenty of character and charm. There’s railway access just metres from the home boasting one of the last remaining operating signal boxes, and this provides easy access to towns such as Carmarthen (10 miles) and Swansea (25 miles). You don’t have to travel far for fun though, with a splendid sandy beach metres from the door front, which is dog friendly all year round. Take a ferry boat across the River Towy to visit the village of Llansteffan and hike up to the castle where you can enjoy marvellous views across scenic farmlands and the shimmering river.

Entering through the front door of this 150-year-old cottage, you’ll find yourself in the entrance hall with plenty of space to kick off your boots and hang up your coats. To the right of the front door is a cosy lounge with a large open fire, perfect for those cold nights curled up in front of the Smart TV. To the left of the main entrance is a spacious and bright dining room, here you can enjoy mealtimes together or perhaps a fun family board game. Both front rooms connect with the kitchen at the back of the property. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a WC and separate shower room downstairs, ideal for washing those sandy toes before heading to the bedrooms. Upstairs are two double bedrooms at the front of the property, one with an en-suite shower room and WC, and both enjoying partial sea views. The third bedroom is a cosy twin overlooking the garden and completing the first floor is a family bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

A small, enclosed garden with an elevated patio area and dining set can be found at the rear of the property (accessed up a steep slope). Seating is also provided at the front of the property creating a great spot to sip your coffee as you watch the morning break. There is roadside parking in front of the property which is subject to availability.

Directions very easy to follow & we appreciated the communications from the owner, Andrew. First impressions of cottage were great and totally fulfilled when we got inside.

Upstairs all bedrooms were lovely and we found beds very comfortable. The cottage had something about it which made us feel very comfortable and at home. Situation was just perfect, literally across the road from a lovely beach and railway station. Shop and pub within yards and a hotel with restaurant about 15 minutes walk. Amazing countryside all around and some of the best beaches we have seen in a long time. Add in friendly informative local residents and very reasonably priced drinks in the yacht club on the beach and you have the recipe for a great week away. Hide

We had a wonderful stay, the cottage is in a great location. It's very well furnished and there is a nice garden at the back ,with decking and there are chairs provided so that you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. There was a dog bowl, spare lead, shampoo and some bags provided for your dog, which I thought was excellent. There was also tea, coffRead moreee, sugar, wine and Welsh cakes for us, which was lovely because it ment that we could have a drink when we arrived. It is quiet and relaxing, but there are also places nearby to visit if you want to. Hide

A lovely week staying in Ferryside. The cottage had everything you need for a week away from home including a whole array of kitchen appliances and plenty of firewood.

We stayed over Christmas & had a wonderful time. The cottage was beautifully festive with a tree & lights & felt warm & welcoming from the moment we arrived. It was spotlessly clean & well equipped, with extra touches such as Christmas napkins, wine, chocolates & milk. The view of the sea from the 2 front bedrooms, a dog friendly beach less than 12Read more0 metres from the front door & village shop made for the perfect quiet retreat. We have no hesitation in recommending Ty Llywd & hope to return. Hide
