About this property
2 Strand Cottages sits proudly in the historic waterfront town of Laugharne, offering a characterful base for couples or small families keen to soak up the charm of Carmarthenshire’s coastline. With its traditional terraced frontage and ever-changing estuary views nearby, this is a place that feels rooted in its surroundings rather than dropped into them. Inside, the cottage is laid out with comfort and practicality in mind. The kitchen/diner is well equipped for proper holiday cooking, with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, making everything from lazy breakfasts to evening feasts easy to manage. After a day outdoors, the sitting room is a welcoming space to settle into, where a woodburning stove takes the edge off cooler nights and the TV provides easy entertainment.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible, with a king-size bedroom upstairs and a ground-floor twin, alongside a sofa bed in the sitting room for additional guests. A ground-floor bathroom with bath and shower over completes the layout, keeping things straightforward for all ages. Outside, the front patio with furniture is ideal for a morning coffee or a quiet drink as the day winds down, with roadside parking available close by. This cottage boasts a truly beautiful setting, positioned right on the edge of the estuary for uninterrupted water views. At an certain high tides a unique experience occurs where the the lapping of the water can occasionally reach the front wall, offering an reminder of just how close you are to this stunning waterfront location.
Laugharne itself is a joy to explore on foot, with its castle ruins, independent shops, and welcoming pubs all close at hand. Fans of literature will enjoy walking in the footsteps of Dylan Thomas, while coastal paths offer gentle strolls with far-reaching views. For wider adventures, the beaches of Tenby and the dramatic scenery of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park are easily reached by car. Perfectly placed for exploring West Wales, Pendine Sands is just 5 miles away, Carmarthen 12 miles, Saundersfoot 17 miles, and Tenby 20 miles. For day trips, St David’s and Swansea are both around 40 miles, giving you easy access to stunning beaches, historic towns, and scenic coastal walks.
2 Strand Cottages is a well-placed retreat for slowing down, exploring the coast, and enjoying a classic Welsh seaside setting.
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.
