We had an enjoyable holiday staying at Foreshore Tides. The house is very comfortable, well equipped and you have some outstanding views of the beach and river from the balcony. We would highly recommend this property and we hope to book a followup holiday soon.

Foreshore Tides is always a pleasure to stay in, well equipment and comfortable. Always appreciate all the information supplied about the property and the area. The tide table is helpful as the beach is well worth a stroll.

Lovely upside down house, you can see for miles. It was a little stormy the days we went and just watching the waves crashing below us was lovely. House was clean and comfortable, and the Welsh cakes went down a treat!! There was milk in the fridge waiting for us. So lovely, a very thoughtful gesture!

The property is comfortable and well presented/ equipped. It offers fantastic views over the estuary and we enjoyed watching the comings and goings of the tide, wildlife and cocklers. It's located in an ideal spot for exploring Carmarthenshire and into Pembrokeshire. Although the train line runs alongside the property, you can soon forget it's therRead moree. Hide

The cottage was in a great location and had lovely views. The communication before and during our stay was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. You are right next to the train tracks so there was some expected noise from the train but this did not disturb us.
