Holt Cottage near Llansteffan

Sitting above the Taf Estuary, Holt Cottage provides a perfect location to enjoy the peace and tranquility of an unspoilt part of Wales. Situated on the Welsh Coastal Path, we provide a base from which to explore the glorious Welsh coastline. A haven for wildlife with regular sightings of red kites, badgers and for the lucky few, otters at play. Holt Cottage is set in the countryside that Dylan Thomas would have gazed upon and has view of his Boathouse and Writing Shed. Holt Cottage is a self contained cottage attached to our property. You have your own patio, ideal for al-fresco dining and BBQs with stunning views over the Taf Estuary across to Laugharne. Downstairs, you have an open plan living and dining area with patio doors making the most of the view. You have a fully equipped kitchen complete with washing machine, fridge and chest freezer. Upstairs you will find a double bedroom with ample storage and countryside views, a family bathroom with bath and shower and, to the front of the property, a family room with one double and one single bed. The cottage has it's own parking and gardens. For guests arriving in electric vehicles, there are designated charging points at Llansteffan Beach carpark. Our property is set in 2 acre grounds that you are free to roam. Although fully fenced, a determine dog could find it's way off the property, so we would advise dog owners to keep your dog on a lead if they are known to wander. The cottage also has a fully enclosed back yard. You will be sharing the grounds with Bill, a lively Romanian rescue dog, our cats, Meg and Mog and our chickens. Living next door, we look forward to helping you with any questions you have to make the most of your stay with us. We both work full time but will endeavour to respond to any questions as quickly as possible. After work, if you need anything, just pop over! We love the combination of coast and country. Surrounded by dairy and sheep farms, the cottage is a beautiful place just to sit, relax and watch the sun reflect off the waters of the estuary. Sunsets are particularly breathtaking. One mile up the hill, you have the small village of Llanybri with it's pub and restaurant. A mile and a half around the headland, you have one of Wales' hidden gems, the seaside village of Llansteffan, complete with village pubs, castle and glorious sandy beach. You must try Florries Fish and chip stall on the seafront. The market town of Carmarthen is 8 miles away and provides ample shopping, eating and entertainment. Across the estuary, you find Laugharne, a delightful medieval township famed for it's links to the late Dylan Thomas. The coastal road then passes the famous Pendine beach and Museum of Speed. Tenby and Narbeth are an easy drive away. Whether you are a lover of food, the outdoors, looking for a quiet romantic retreat, or great family times, we hope you will find it here with us at Holt Cottage. Although Llanybri is on the bus route, we really do suggest getting around by car. That is, of course, unless you are walking the Welsh Coastal Path. Some sat nav systems take you to a campsite outside Llanybri village. This is not us! On booking, I will send you directions from the village of Llansteffan. Guests arriving in electric vehicles can make use of the designated electric vehicle charging points at Llansteffan Beach carpark. We do not allow charging via a 3 pin plug from the cottage. This method of charging can place prolonged high loads on electric systems not specifically designed for this purpose. This can potentially lead to overheating and fire.
