About this property

The abode offers contemporary accommodation set over two floors, with two en-suite king-size bedrooms on the upper-ground floor and one twin and one double bedroom sharing the family shower room on the lower-ground floor. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and take in the view as you sit and enjoy the delights of the local delicacies. Get the popcorn ready and cosy up in the sitting room and unwind in front of the TV. Step outside, enjoy your dining experience outdoors with the views across the coastline towards the Gower Peninsula and continue to unwind into your evening and soak up the scenery from the hot tub. If you can tear yourself away, why not venture into nearby Burry Port with its quaint red and white lighthouse with sandy beaches stretching along to the popular Pembrey Country Park, a real gem with eight miles of golden sands, hundreds of acres of woodland, a toboggan ride and adventure playground. Head further afield along the Millenium Coastal path and cycleway towards Llanelli or take a trip back in time to the pretty town of Laugharne, the location of the iconic Boathouse once home to the famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas maybe making a stop at Pendine Sands, home of historic land speed records and miles of golden sands. Raphael House is a gem, tucked away with fantastic days out on your doorstep providing a serene location to relax as the sun goes down.

Burry Port is perfectly located on the beautiful South West Wales coastline and has a selection of shops, a Post Office, several pubs and restaurants. The golf club is renowned for offering all year round sport, no matter what the weather throws at you, and the sandy beach is equally delightful on hot summer, or wild stormy winter days. The harbour is a hive of activity, where you can sit and watch the fishermen return to shore with their fish laden boats. The Millennium Coastal Park with its 22kms of off road cycletrack runs along this beautiful coastline, allowing walkers and cyclists alike to discover one of the most scenic routes in Wales. For the shoppers in your party, Carmarthen is a vibrant shopping centre, with lots of main chain stores plus small, unique Welsh gift shops, lovely restaurants, tea rooms, pubs, a bowling alley and a cinema for film buffs. Llanelli offers a great range of out of town shopping, a modern cinema, a theatre and a leisure centre, as well as a Nicklaus-designed modern links golf course. For horse racing fans, the Ffos Las racecourse is open all year with many meetings and is fast becoming the best new racecourse in the UK. The lovely eight mile long Cefn Sidan beach is just over 2 miles away, one of the treasures of Pembrey Country Park. Motor enthusiasts can enjoy an extensive calendar of events at the nearby Pembrey Motor Sports Centre, whilst nature lovers will adore the National Wetlands Centre Wales at the eastern end of the Millennium Coastal Park.
