Fantastic chalet

The chalet was perfect for our short stay. It was clean, well equipped and the beds were really comfortable. Sue is a fantastic host - offering lots of suggestions of places to visit along with being available to answer any questions. The site is really quiet and in a perfect location to explore. We really enjoy our short stay, only wish it was longer!

Comfortable homely stay

We loved our stay here. Sue was a very good host and was lovely to have milk, coffee and little gifts on arrival. The beds were very comfortable and well made. The heaters worked well and the shower was great. The chalet was well equipped. The location was quiet. From Elmrise Park we were able to explore different places; Llanstefan castle (free) and beach, Pendine sands and rock pools, Wiseman’s Bridge, Pembrey Country park for the beach, tobogganing and train ride plus Carmarthen for a bit of shopping! Thanks for a lovely stay Sue, would recommend.

Very clean, lovely location

Spotlessly clean chalet, perfect location for some lovely day trips. We visited Colby gardens national trust and national botanic gardens which were both fantastic for adults and children. We also had a great day on Llansteffan beach and a visit to Carmarthen town for shopping and tea, both of which are within 10-15 minutes drive. Great for families, our 5 year old and 1 year old really enjoyed their stay. Great communication from Sue as well - thank you for a great bank holiday weekend

Lovely chalet in a great location

We had a lovely 4 night stay in this chalet. Sue was very welcoming in her emails and had kindly provided us with a cot and high chair for the baby. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The chalet is in a great location close to lots of places. The only thing was that the swimming pool wasn't open when we were there but Sue pointed us in the direction of a local pool that was great.

Really enjoyed our stay

Stayed for 3 nights for a wedding in a nearby hotel and absolutely enjoyed the chalet. We were 4 adults and 2 little children. The chalet was really clean and well equipped. Fixtures and fittings all very comfortable and in great condition. We were a 5 minute walk from the hotel and location wise it was brilliant. All the family enjoyed the chalet and would recommend it. The lady we corresponded with was really nice and helpful. In summary,a great choice of accommodation and an even better weekend at the wedding.

Charming chalet in a quiet location, ideally situated for exploring the area.

Lovely quiet park in a lovely location. Ideally situated for exploring the area. Chalet had everything we needed with lovely extra touches as well. Visited Folly Farm Zoo and Adventure Park, The Wales National Show Caves, Llansteffan castle and beach, Saundersfoot beach, Llawhaden castle, Pembrey Country Park beach and went horse trekking there too. Would highly recommend all as places to visit! Unfortunately as our English Easter school holidays were a week early a lot of activities were closed, so always phone before you go, but there was still plenty to do and my 12 and 15 year old children said the week went really quickly. (Unfortunately my son was fascinated by the pound coins going into the electric meter, I'm sure he was using more electricity than usual just so that he could top it up!) Thank you for a wonderful holiday, many happy memories to take away with us.

compact , spotlessly clean, comfortable .

The chalet is situated in a lovely park, great place to explore surrounding area , plenty to do and see.

About the host

Hosted by Sue

We are a family from Cardiff who like to spend time away from the city in the peace and quiet of west Wales, where the pace of life is very relaxing.

Why they chose this property

We spent a couple of years holidaying in west Wales and fell in love with the area. When we were fortunate enough to take up the opportunity to buy a chalet, we were delighted with our decision. We've had years of happy experiences and memories exploring the beautiful coastline and local attractions. Why the name Milkwood for the chalet? This is the wonderful landscape that inspired Dylan Thomas, the writer of Under Milkwood, who lived close by in Laugharne.

What makes this property unique

We loved the fact the chalet site is on a river estuary, close to the seaside village of Llansteffan, which boasts a medieval castle and the tranquil Scott's Bay. We can jump in the car and in a couple of minutes, we're in Llansteffan for a country walk, play on the beach or sitting eating ice cream, taking in the sea view. Fantastic.
