Gwel y Don

We had a very fine week. The property is spacious and comfortable for 3 generations, and a small glitch with the heating was promptly, pleasantly and efficiently dealt with by the owner. 5***** week - Llansteffan is so much pleasanter than Laugharne ( a 1/2 hour walk along the coast path.....)

Amazing, cozy warm place with plenty of room. It's within 5-10 mins walk to Llansteffan Beach and Scotts Bay and beach. Well equipped and super relaxed location. Village shop virtually across the road that sells great produce, such as fresh sourdough bread, cakes and beers and also opens up Friday and Saturday evening and sells Pizza and beers. Had a lovely meal at Y Polyn, well worth the 30-40 mins drive. Locally "Inn at The Sticks", which is across the road from Gwel Y Don is great for food and a great atmosphere. The Castle Pub is next door to that and serves nice beer also. Gwel Y Don is ideally situated for trips to Laugharne, Saunderfoot, Tenby and Narberth. There's a lot do if you want to venture out, but also great if you just fancy walking the amazing beach and estuary and chilling out. Llansteffan Castle is 10 mins walk and great views from there down the estuary. We had some stunning sunrises and sunsets. Magical !!

What a lovely homely cottage in such a great position - so close to the wonderful beach, almost opposite the friendly village shop and it's delicious home-baked bread and a castle too ! We had a fabulous time. With three generations of family and a labrador, we found the house with it's several sitting and playing spaces and garden just ideal. The beach is just great - vast expanses of beautiful sand to dig and play on. Swimming was fun. Nearby Scott's beach provided wonderful damning possibilities with the little river. We ate some of the tastiest fish and chips by the beach. Two very different pubs just two minutes away. All in all a great place for a family holiday !

We have just had a wonderful week at Gwel y Don. The house is really lovely and is without doubt the best equipped house in terms of crockery, cutlery, glasses, pans etc which for a family who enjoy home cooking it was so perfect. The house is lovely and spacious and has been so thoughtfully furnished with an interesting mix of furniture and art work. It was a perfect house for our family including our 10 month old granddaughter who loved playing up on the mezzanine. Llansteffan is a great village with two pubs,a lovely village shop and fabulous walks from the front door. We would love to go again.

Sunny week in Wales. Lovely walks along the estuary at low tide.

Spacious, well-equipped house with plenty of nice places to sit and relax. Great location with good local amenities and the beautiful beach 5 mins walk away. Lots to see in the surrounding area. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a wonderful time here, a beautiful and very comfortable house..lots of space for everyone to be together and also be independent. Fantastic showers..3 lovely living rooms..and good beds and fluffy towels.. The village is very lovely too, 2 pubs, one traditional and straight forward, the other more gastro, so something for everyone. The village shop is fab,and friendly, with everything you would want..even bacon bottles and homemade pizza. And the beach is wonderful and quiet, at high tide you can swim in calm clear and warm waters... Such a lovely time..such a lovely place..

We absolutely loved Gwel Y Don. The village was very quiet but had two great pubs and a brilliant village shop with freshly baked bread daily and it's so near to a brilliant empty beach. A lot of the comments say they feel they've discovered a hidden gem and they're right!

This is a beautifully renovated house in a lovely little village. We loved being in the village, yet just by the sea, with the village shop and pub just a stone's throw away. The Dylan Thomas history is fascinating for literature lovers! We loved it!
