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.

The attention to detail made it a home from home, very welcoming including the arrival gift. It is in an ideal location close to all of Laugharneâs amenities , all a short walk away - shop for papers, pasties, etc, pubs (we can highly recommend Browns as ate there twice), tea houses for wonderful welsh cakes, including Boathouse tea rooms. Laugharne has plenty to offer, even on a wet, soggy weekend, beautiful walks, the castle and lots of attractions about Dylan Thomas. And itâs all signposted around the town so youâll never get lost. Returning back to the cottage with a very wet dog we welcomed the thoughtful dog towel. And a huge plus was the enclosed safe garden. Thank you

Particularly enjoyed the lovely walk with amazing views of estuary and castle which is right at hand. Didnt realise was the setting of one of my favourite shows Saving Faith, you can see why they picked the location, so charming. Lovely walk to see Dylan Thomas's boat house. Had fabulous meal at Browns restaurant which is a short walk. Would highly recommend.
