“Need to be careful when approaching this property due to the state of the road leading up to it.”

the area was lovely and the easy access to the beach was excellent.

“Idyllic setting.”

However it is not dog friendly as the garden is not secure consequently you need to ensure your dog is on a lead at all times due to rabbits and squirrels! The best behaved dog cannot resist. Also there is a public right away to the right and the road in front is dog walking random dogs off the lead frequently come into the garden and do their business and owners do not pick up very annoying plus they impact on you and your dog having a strange dog(s) impacting on you. Also random people will just walk up to your door and look through windows really disconcerting. If the garden was secure this would not happen. Needs a blind in bathroom and blackout blinds in bedroom. Kitchen has so much stuff - enough for 20+ people leaving no room for your food and little preparation area, the cupboard is full of cleaning/linen - thankfully due to covid all the books/DVD's had been removed enabling this to be used for food store. The sofa is loosing its foam/comfort. The area is beautiful and peaceful, perfect for unwinding.

“A great place to stay, well-equipped and very near the beach.”

“We had a lovely break at Beachside.”

Close to the beach and the village of Llanstephan. The house is a little damp feeling but it was clean, tidy and a perfect base for our holiday. We loved the outside space, take some Deet with you though as there are some mozzies about in the woods. If you want a beach on your doorstep, nature outside your windows and peace and quiet this spot is perfect.

“The bedroom was very small with a very big bed which we had to move along with a bedside table so that both of us could just get out of bed without climbing over each other.”

The main room was overcrowded with a very large table with a settee at one end which we had to move so that we could sit on it,the sofa was very uncomfortable as we could feel the wooden slats under the cushions.The kitchen area was adequate but the cooker was dirty with food in the grill pan.The hot water tap in the bathroom was very slow in comparison to the kitchen.The photo is nothing like the actual place as it is is crowded out by trees and Japanese balsam.Apart from this we had a nice time as we were close to the beach so we could take our dog for long walks.

“Lovely little hideaway but only a stones throw from the beach, will visit again.”

Mr Naisbitt July 2020

“Great place to stay & as described a beach chalet on the beach!”

Would definitely stay again.

Mrs Baillie September 2019

“The property has been renovated, so is in very good condition.”

There is everything provided in the cottage that you need for a holiday and the situation is exceptional. The owner is very helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending Beachside to anyone who loves peace, nature and relaxation. .

Mrs Pye August 2019

“Great location for us, we have 2 young children a nd 2 dogs and we had a great time.”

just a couple if minutes to a great beach to let the dogs let off steam before walking down to the bigger more public beach with a great fish and chip shop. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed including outdoor chairs and games. Beachside was clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend and revisit.

“THE LOCATION IS SUPERB FANTASTIC HOLIDAY FOR YOUR DOGS AND THE BEACH AND WOODLANDS ON THE DOOR STEP”

- Mrs Pearce, June 2019
Mr Rogers April 2019

“A lovely quiet and relaxing week away, the cottage has everything you need!”

, after a day exploring the near by coastline and numerous lovely sandy beaches, there's nothing better to come back and sit on the decking and have some food and drink listening to the bird song! A Lovely little gem in south wales, we just didn't want to leave, we will be returning soon, The Rogers family, Buckinghamshire.

Mr Charles March 2019

“Access to the property is atrocious a warning should be put on the description of the property on the website.”

It is unacceptable for anyone with a low slung vehicle to drive down, the problem being that you are only made aware of it after having booked it and speak with the owner.

- Mr Charles, March 2019

Thank you for your feedback, regarding the track to the property this is available to read at all times within the amenity section. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Danter March 2019

“This is a rural retreat for those looking for a lovely quiet holiday.”

You are 50 yds from the estuary and it is beautiful. Trees block the view of the sea but they also provide shelter when the weather is bad. Just past the trees are fabulous views for walks, photography, picnics etc. Beachside is comfortable and exactly as described. The owner has made it comfortable and cosy for those staying. Only 7 miles from Carmarthen. There is a track to the chalet so care is needed when travelling, expecially by night.

Mr Dix October 2018

“Cosy, comfortable cottage in a quiet woodland setting next to the beach.”

Ideal for dog walking

Mr Ewin June 2018

“Fantastic venue, perfect for the dogs, pity about the weather.”

One of the best stocked places we have stayed at.

Miss Allsopp June 2018

“I had a wonderful time, yet again!”

Just a couple of things..... I would love to be able to come down for a long weekend - if this would be at all possible? Also the mozzies were quite troublesome, especially when it was lovely to have the French doors open but what is to be done about that

- Miss Allsopp, June 2018
Miss Cheung May 2018

“Location was second to none.”

Where the cottage is set, it's very private and perfect for my toddler and huskamute as it is enclosed by trees to stop the wind and give some shading. Loved the rabbits running around and how peaceful it was there. Less than 50m to the beach which was so quiet and very clean. We went for a weekend and wished we had booked longer. The views from the castle are beautiful. Would definately recommend for small families or couples.

“Relaxing”

Set in a lovely peaceful area surrounding by trees and greenery everywhere as stated in the description, just a few minutes from a beach which our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed it was like having your own private beach. The chalet was very clean and presentable and very well equipped with everything you would need for a self contained stay, to go as far as tom providing Wellies of various sizes to garden games and folding chairs in the outside box on the patio and most important a stopper for my sparkling wine. There a rabbits, squirrels and birds in abundance all practically tame. The nearby village of Llansteffan can be reached by walking along the beach or by road approx 5 mins away, were there is another beach with soft golden sand. There never seems to be more than 2/3 people on the beach at any onetime. The left hand side of the beach is dog friendly. There is ample parking a chip shop, Ice cream parlour and a small cafe. All in all a very peaceful and relaxing holiday just the place to wind down.

“A little gem”

If what you want is a little hideaway, right on a quiet, beautiful estuary/beach that no one else seems to know about, then this is the place for you! It is small, slightly damp and basic.... and it suited us down to the ground; our family loved it! The owners have stocked it with a great range of books and some good quality DVDs. It's clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Thank you for making our week just what we wanted.

Mrs Graham May 2017

“The location of this property is just perfect.”

Right on the coast of a beautiful estuary, stretching into a quiet sandy beach. It's small but practical and we had a lovely holiday.

Mrs Stanley April 2017

“We had fine weather and loved the location.”

The property

A lovely, detached seaside cottage, in a secluded woodland setting, in the village of Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire.

This cosy cottage is within about 100 yards of the beach, even some locals do not know of its existence!

With just a small number of other properties, it is in a very peaceful location.

With two bedrooms, a shower room and an open plan living area, it is perfect for the smaller family to enjoy a seaside holiday.

Make up a picnic to take on your days out away from the cottage, or sit on the covered veranda and enjoy a morning coffee or dine alfresco after a busy day out exploring the area.

Stroll to the beach, make a few sandcastles, fly a kite, launch a small boat or stroll a little further to the busier side of the beach to the seaside cafe.

Local attractions beckon too, and there are days for a spot of shopping, a steam railway ride, theme parks to visit or experience a dry ski slope.

Alternatively, a race day at Ffos Las is a must or a visit to Dylan Thomas' boathouse.

This lovely cottage is in an ideal location all year round.
