About this property
This detached property rests in the charming town of Llanelli in beautiful South Wales, located on the championship golf course of Machynys Peninsular Golf and Country Club. With 180 degree views overlooking the renowned Gower Peninsular. Set over two floors, 5 Ffordd Y Meillion is well-equipped for families looking to uncover this fine region, with the delightful Llanelli beach just two miles away. After parking up in the driveway, pass through the picnic fence front garden into the hallway. The lounge is wonderfully presented, furnished with two sofas arranged in front of a large Smart TV, perfect for catching up on your favourite shows after a long day. Close by, the ground floor cloakroom is a nice addition to the layout. Allow the designated chef to cook up a storm in the kitchen, utilising the electric oven, gas hob and Smeg fridge/freezer, plus there’s even a dishwasher so you won’t have to lift a finger when washing up! Just off the kitchen is a handy utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, perfect for rinsing your sandy clothes after a beach adventure. A patio door leads out to the enclosed garden, offering a combination of a lawned and gravelled area with a seating area that is perfect for evening drinks. Climb the stairs to reach the bedrooms, offering a king-size with en-suite shower, a double and a single, each classically decorated and hosting ample storage space. Rounding off the interior is the family bathroom, ideal for a soothing soak after an afternoon of exploring the local area. Llanelli is home to a collection of shops and pubs and there is even a local fish and chip shop for those evenings when you fancy a takeaway. Get to know the area by exploring the designated paths running along the coast, perfect for walkers and cyclists, whilst children of all ages will appreciate playing on the sandy beach. Visit the National Botanic Garden of Wales, a popular attraction boasting 400 acres of flower-rich meadows, woodlands, waterfalls and cascades, whilst those history enthusiasts can explore the ruins of Kidwelly Castle, situated 11 miles away. For a different type of adventure, head to nearby Pembrey with its dry ski slope and motor racing circuit, or enjoy a flutter on the horses at Ffos Las. 5 Ffordd Y Meillion is a fabulous base for a family escape to Wales.
Llanelli is a traditional mining town on the Loughor River's mouth that has been considerably refurbished since the mining industry's demise to include modern shopping malls, a theatre, and the stunning Millennium Coastal Cycle Path. Llanelli is the ideal spot for sports aficionados of all kinds.

It was easy to find and had lovely views across the golf course to the Gower. It had a secure garden which was essential for us with a dog. Unfortunately, both the back garden lightbulbs had blown which wasnât the end of the world as the light from the kitchen and patio windows lit the garden. Parking was very good with a wide shared drive. Since our holiday was at the beginning of October and it had gone particularly cold it was great to be at this property which was always lovely and warm. Lidl supermarket is very close to the property.

We would however like to make the following points, some major and some minor - - the 'short walk to the beach' was actually just over a mile, which should be more clearly stated - the general garden maintenance left a bit to be desired and was a shame as it was such a nice outside space, eg, there was some dog mess on the grass, some bagged up dog mess around and partially full bins, the grass could also do with a cut. - there were no microwavable containers - a sink drainer would be useful, which would be useful for anyone who does not wish to use the dish-washer, as we did not - there are no bowls for pasta / soup other than very small cereal bowls On a positive, we quickly raised the issues of 2 light bulbs not working in the en-suite, the TV not working and the dog mess on our arrival with Sykes Customer Services, who sent a lovely rep round and resolved these issues, which was very much appreciated. We were advised that cleaners do not clear the garden so this was probably down to quite possibly previous occupiers however, this should not be left for new occupiers to deal with Other than that, we had a lovely holiday in the property and hope our comments are taken as valuable feedback
