  • "Very clean and comfortable cottage in the historic town of Laugharne."

    Great walks around the castle, estuary and of course the Dylan Thomas Boathouse. Easy access to Pendine Sands, Carmarthen, National Botanic Garden of Wales and local National Trust properties. The Three Mariners Inn and Ty Glo restaurant did lovely food. Parking wasn't an issue as there was plenty of space along the road next to the park. Our only small criticism was the garden steps were quite steep so a hand rail would be helpful.

  • "Cosy cottage, nice enclosed garden (maybe consider handrails by the step steps?"

    ) Generally clean, a little smelly when we arrived. Mould on window fixing and some ceilings. Main bedroom comfortable with nice view, nice to have choice of a shower or a bath, toilet seat needs some attention as not fixed in a central position. Well stocked kitchen and nice size living area. Good local walks and nice beaches. I would visit Milkwood cottage again, but not book through Sykes.

  • "A clean and comfortable stay."

    The cottage was well furnished and decor of a good standard. Great location in the heart of lovely and peaceful Laugharne. We were able to park outside the property. The rear garden which is paved / gravel is pretty and was safe for my small dog. . Just remember to duck when you go through the front doors. Once inside height is fine. Close to a local convenience store which is just 5 mins walk down the hill plus a deli, cafes and pubs and a nice gift shop. Dylan Thomas boathouse, grave and Brown’s were all just a short walk away. We would happily stay here again.

    The location of the property was ideal, it was totally central for everywhere we wanted to visit under the castle at the bottom of the hill and the Beautiful walks around were fantastic, we would definitely stay there again!

  • "We were so pleased, on entering Milk Wood Cottage, to find a very bright clean and cosy cottage."

    Every evening we lit the wood fire, taking and buying extra wood. Thee wood burner was particularly easy to light too. However, the central heating was super efficient - and remember - we visited in early January! Our luck was in , though, since we had bright, warm sun to walk and picnic in every day barr the last! The internet was splendid for me to tutor from at a lovely big table. Our hosts left all we could possibly need on the first evening! Suffice to say we would have stayed on - and on - had not life called us back! Dr. Sue Houseago

    Really spacious sitting room with plenty of comfy seating, and a large well-equipped kitchen/diner. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the shower in the bathroom was incredibly powerful. The whole place was spotless. We love Laugharne and will definitely book Milk Wood Cottage. Apologies for leaving a bag of booze behind, we had to leave a day due to a family emergency and left in rather a rush. Please enjoy! Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. Can't wait to come back!

    The cottage was in a good location - warm with a good bath and shower and most things we needed in the kitchen. It's worth phoning the owner to get the lowdown on the best place to park and places to eat. We found lots of good country walks nearby - although away from the coast, Welsh farmers sometimes show little respect for footpaths!

About the location

LAUGHARNE

Tenby 16 miles.

Laugharne, with its majestic castle standing on a low ridge overlooking the wide Taf River Estuary, is famous for its associations with the poet Dylan Thomas, and a visit to his Boat House and the writing shed where he wrote most of his works is a wonderful experience. Beautiful walks in and around the castle, with breathtaking views of the estuary, can be followed by cream teas in quaint little tea rooms, a drink in the local pub or shopping in the gift shops and mini market. The nearby sandy beach at Pendine is where many land speed records have been famously set on its seven mile stretch of beautiful flat sand, and a little further afield are the seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot. With walks in all directions, great days out at castles, mills and craft centres galore, this is a perfect base for all the family, at any time of the year.
