The Shoemaker's Shop

Good things come in small packages and this charming home for two is packed with character. Once the local cobbler's workshop, it's a modernised historic cottage with everything from exposed stone walls and vaulted ceilings to original floorboards and an arched door. Cute and cosy, it comes with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, as well as a pebble courtyard garden which is a real suntrap in summer. Country styling is the order of the day here, with a comfy sofa, dining table and smart kitchen area occupying the open living space, along with a log burner for that all-important toasty feeling after a winter walk. A bedroom and modern shower room top it all off. Set in a friendly, pretty village, here you'll be just a few minutes away from the local beach on foot, and it's around a twenty-minute walk to Llansteffan Castle. You can drive to the main town of Carmarthen in eighteen minutes and head to Dylan Thomas's hometown of Laugharne in less than half an hour. With walking and cycling routes, numerous beaches and castles to explore, you won't be short of things to do.
