about the property
Family holiday cottage home at the beach in Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire. This adorable Welsh holiday cottage is near the famous sands, and has a stylish interior you’ll love coming home to.
- The Times 2015 'Top 50 UK Beach houses'
This charming Grade II listed townhouse is located in the heart of Llansteffan
This beautiful coastal hamlet has managed to keep itself under the tourism radar for many years. As a result, those who are lucky enough to discover it keep the secret to themselves. This village is said to be the real inspiration for Dylan Thomas’ fictional Llanreggub in Under the Milk Wood rather than Laugharne.
There is a huge expanse of clean hard sand for picnics, fun and games whilst not being too far from the house. Also, there is a beach shop which sells anything you need for a day on the beach plus coffees, cream teas,snacks, and some memorable portions of the best Fish’n’Chips in West Wales.!
