Property code: 88784

Situated in a quaint coastal village, approximately 150 metres from the sea and across the water from Llansteffan Castle, this charming property is an ideal family seaside escape.

South of Carmarthen, Ferryside is a seaside village with plenty of character and charm. There’s railway access just metres from the home boasting one of the last remaining operating signal boxes, and this provides easy access to towns such as Carmarthen (10 miles) and Swansea (25 miles). You don’t have to travel far for fun though, with a splendid sandy beach metres from the door front, which is dog friendly all year round. Take a ferry boat across the River Towy to visit the village of Llansteffan and hike up to the castle where you can enjoy marvellous views across scenic farmlands and the shimmering river.

Entering through the front door of this 150-year-old cottage, you’ll find yourself in the entrance hall with plenty of space to kick off your boots and hang up your coats. To the right of the front door is a cosy lounge with a large open fire, perfect for those cold nights curled up in front of the Smart TV. To the left of the main entrance is a spacious and bright dining room, here you can enjoy mealtimes together or perhaps a fun family board game. Both front rooms connect with the kitchen at the back of the property. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a WC and separate shower room downstairs, ideal for washing those sandy toes before heading to the bedrooms. Upstairs are two double bedrooms at the front of the property, one with an en-suite shower room and WC, and both enjoying partial sea views. The third bedroom is a cosy twin overlooking the garden and completing the first floor is a family bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

A small, enclosed garden with an elevated patio area and dining set can be found at the rear of the property (accessed up a steep slope). Seating is also provided at the front of the property creating a great spot to sip your coffee as you watch the morning break. There is roadside parking in front of the property which is subject to availability.

  • 3 bedrooms – 2 doubles and 1 twin
  • 3 bathrooms – 1 family bathroom with shower over bath and WC, 1 en-suite shower room with WC, and 1 ground-floor shower room and separate WC

Lovely homely cottage. The locals are very friendly. Loved our breakfast at the Ferry Cabin and playing pool at the local pub. Loved being so close to the sea and the train station was very convenient. Can recommend visiting Kidwelly, Swansea, Pendine, Llanstefan and Barry Isalnd.
