  • "Lovely house clean and comfortable would recommend to others only downside there were no dish cloths, tea towels or dishwasher tablets and instructions to property could be better or a sign on post on the bend pointing way."

    Hi Heather, Thank you for your feedback. We pride ourselves in providing clean and comfortable accommodation, so we thank you for your comments. We hope you will consider us for future weekend breaks. Property Owner

  • "We loved the lovely situation and views."

    Sadly there were some tricky paths and trip hazards within and without the property also very steep steps to the lower bedrooms. This presented some difficulties for some of our party. Perhaps this could be made clear for future bookings ?

    Hi Jennifer, We really appreciate your feedback and taking the time to review our lovely sea view property. We don’t regard the stairs as being any different to a modern property, however this is an old welsh cottage and as such there is a small step up into the living room and porch. We will review our listing at the end of the season to ensure this is clear. Thank you again for your feedback. We do want our guests to have the best experience. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely wonderful stay at Raphael House."

    It is completely separate to the owners (they are next door and always happy to help) so it's very private. They very helpfully asked us beforehand which rooms we would be using and explained the layout which meant we were able to just use the top rooms which was ideal for our 3 year old and blind dog. Watching the sunset every night from the hot tub was just idyllic. The property was spotless and very thoughtfully renovated and decorated, really comfortable. Fantastic holiday and we hope to come back :)

    Hi Robyn, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. We really hope you do come back again. Lots to explore see and do in lovely Pembrey and Burry Port :) Property Owner

  • "A lovely house in a beautiful location."

    The spacious house is very tastefully decorated, very clean+ well equipped. The view from the house + the hot tub is breathtaking. Marie + Ben, the owners, work hard to make such a wonderful house available to rent in a lovely part of Wales. They are at hand if you need any help but they do not encroach on your privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Raphael House.

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was lovely to meet you and great to hear that you had a nice time. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely fantastic holiday accommodation, spotlessly clean and so many thoughtful touches throughout."

    The layout worked perfectly for us with two lovely double rooms on the one level which was then similar to a bungalow and two further rooms on the lower level. We were greeted by the owners who were extremely friendly and helpful and unless we needed anything we were left to enjoy. Sitting watching woodpeckers and numerous other birds feeding off the bird feeders and admiring the view over the Gower, while sat in the hot tub or patio was outstanding and pure relaxation. Will most definitely be returning as we all had such a great holiday.

    Thank you Joan, we really appreciate you taking the time to feedback. We take pride in the property and making sure that it is cleaned to a high standard for each guest. Your comments are very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you and your family again. Property Owner

  • "Raphael House is an amazing home away from home."

    The house is spacious, comfortable, fully equipped and dog friendly. My family of 8 had a wonderful time. The hosts, Ben and Marie are so approachable and they respected our privacy and stay in their property. Soaking in the hot tub after a day full of sightseeing and activities is heavenly! Given the chance, will definitely coma back again and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

The property

Raphael House is situated in an elevated position a short distance from Pembrey and Burry Port, Carmarthenshire.

An ideal location for friends and family alike where you can relax in home comforts and take in the views, Rapheal House welcomes eight guests and two well-behaved dogs, idyllic for an escape where you can enjoy countryside walks alongside miles of sandy beaches.

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.

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.

About the location

BURRY PORT

Llanelli 4 miles; Kidwelly 5 miles; Carmarthen 16 miles.

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.
