About this property
Perfectly placed in the delightful seaside location of Pendine, Carmarthenshire is this thoughtfully-decorated single-storey lodge, Balmoral. Boasting all ground-floor accommodation, an enclosed decking with furniture and close access to the local amenities and beach, Balmoral welcomes four guests to savour the ultimate escape to West Wales. After unloading in the off-road parking space, ascend to the entrance of your new home-from-home to be impressed by a well-equipped kitchen, hosting all the necessary appliances required to ease your self-catered stay; allow the designated chef of the group to rustle up a feast to be enjoyed altogether around the dining table as the wine is poured. If you prefer to soak in your surroundings a little longer, venture out onto your enclosed decking area to relish an alfresco affair, reflecting on your favourite memories so far before planning your itinerary. When the sky darkens, retire to an inviting sitting area and curl up in front of the gas fire ready to indulge a movie night on the Smart TV. Wash away the day in a spacious shower room before retreating to a neatly-presented twin bedroom or opt for a king-size bedroom with its very own dressing room and en-suite shower room, so you can get ready for the day in style. Begin your morning with a stroll to the coast where you can soak in the cliff top views, sink your toes into the sand and bask in the incredible Land Speed history that is synonymous with Pendine Sands. Travel to lovely Laugharne and envelop yourself in the history of Dylan Thomas with a visit to his former home, now museum to his life and his famour writing shed which both overlook the estuary. Or head west on foot along the Welsh Coast Path or by car into neighbouring Pembrokeshire and enjoy more seaside moments at Amroth, Wiseman's Bridge, Saundersfoot and of course, Tenby, all before refuelling at one of several coastal restaurants, pubs or cafés. Well-positioned to also spend the day traversing the Brecon Beacons or Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks, each offering an abundance of walking, hiking and cycling trails, Balmoral is the perfect base to begin your Welsh adventure.
A charming seaside community with a seven-mile stretch of sand beach that has historically been known for auto racing and attempts at speed records. The tragic car "Babs," whose driver died during one of the many efforts to break the speed record, was buried in the sand for many years before being dug out, rebuilt, and frequently shown in the neighbourhood museum for everyone to see. These ideal flat sands were used by even the well-known Amy Johnson to launch one of her several records flights. These historically significant dunes are ideal for swimming, kite flying, and sunbathing all year long. Pendine is the ideal beach community since it has local pubs and restaurants that provide delicious food, a café, a grocery store, and gift shops. The Land of Speeds Museum, which was just constructed, is also located in Pendine; the land speed record was actually broken on Pendine's beach! A short boat ride out from Tenby and Caldey Island is the stately abbey, as well as castles, additional sandy beaches, secret coves, and Dylan Thomas' famed boathouse, where he wrote many of his literary works. a fantastic setting for discovering this lovely region of Wales.

The van is super-comfortable, immaculate and thoughtfully stocked for our every need. We didn't have a phone signal at the site but the camp internet was fine for WhatsApp, email and browsing. We were aged 10 to 85 and all found things of interest to do in the area. The beach is fabulous, the village shops convenient, the adventure playground lovely and the Museum of Speed absorbing.

We cannot fault it. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and beds were so comfortable. The position of the caravan is superb, right on the end of a road and so quiet. And when the tide is high you can hear the sea off the veranda. I must also say the park is very clean and tidy and well maintained. We will definitely return at some point in the future, we found it a great base for travelling to part's of Pembrokeshire we wanted to visit. Thanks again

The caravan would benefit from a pizza cutter & cheese grater. Skirting,shelves,ledges,blinds could do with a dust & underneath the sofa cushions need hoovering badly ! .. Couldn't connect to the internet & no phone signal till we left the park. Would definitely recommend this caravan & if we are in the area again would stay here ! ..
