“Very clean and comfortable cottage in the historic town of Laugharne.”

Great walks around the castle, estuary and of course the Dylan Thomas Boathouse. Easy access to Pendine Sands, Carmarthen, National Botanic Garden of Wales and local National Trust properties. The Three Mariners Inn and Ty Glo restaurant did lovely food. Parking wasn't an issue as there was plenty of space along the road next to the park. Our only small criticism was the garden steps were quite steep so a hand rail would be helpful.

“Cosy cottage, nice enclosed garden (maybe consider handrails by the step steps?”

) Generally clean, a little smelly when we arrived. Mould on window fixing and some ceilings. Main bedroom comfortable with nice view, nice to have choice of a shower or a bath, toilet seat needs some attention as not fixed in a central position. Well stocked kitchen and nice size living area. Good local walks and nice beaches. I would visit Milkwood cottage again, but not book through Sykes.

Jo June 2024

“A clean and comfortable stay.”

The cottage was well furnished and decor of a good standard. Great location in the heart of lovely and peaceful Laugharne. We were able to park outside the property. The rear garden which is paved / gravel is pretty and was safe for my small dog. . Just remember to duck when you go through the front doors. Once inside height is fine. Close to a local convenience store which is just 5 mins walk down the hill plus a deli, cafes and pubs and a nice gift shop. Dylan Thomas boathouse, grave and Brown’s were all just a short walk away. We would happily stay here again.

Michael June 2024

“Lovely cottage in a central location for all the pubs, cafes and shops.”

Great walks from the doorstep. The owner said about a small parking space at the front of cottage which was ideal for our size car. Rear enclosed garden is a great sun trap and safe for our dog.

“Beautiful cosy cottage in a lovely village, everything you could need is provided including details of local shops and amenities.”

Highly recommend this well maintained cottage, so cosy to close curtains and light the wood burner in the delightful sitting room.

- Andrew, February 2024
Wendi February 2024

“We only stayed at the property for three nights but it was lovely, everything we needed was there and it was like home from home with the added burners of a fantastically efficient log burner.”

The location of the property was ideal, it was totally central for everywhere we wanted to visit under the castle at the bottom of the hill and the Beautiful walks around were fantastic, we would definitely stay there again!

- Wendi, February 2024
Sue January 2024

“We were so pleased, on entering Milk Wood Cottage, to find a very bright clean and cosy cottage.”

Every evening we lit the wood fire, taking and buying extra wood. Thee wood burner was particularly easy to light too. However, the central heating was super efficient - and remember - we visited in early January! Our luck was in , though, since we had bright, warm sun to walk and picnic in every day barr the last! The internet was splendid for me to tutor from at a lovely big table. Our hosts left all we could possibly need on the first evening! Suffice to say we would have stayed on - and on - had not life called us back! Dr. Sue Houseago

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

Milk wood cottage is lovely and so well equipped and decorated. We especially enjoyed the garden, a lovely place to relax after a busy day exploring all the wonderful places nearby. The location is perfect, only a short walk to pubs, cafes etc. we especially loved the views from Dylan’s birthday walk and enjoyed dog walks on some lovely beaches nearby, only a short drive away. We will definitely be returning to Milk wood cottage.

Mark May 2023

“Great location.”

Nice size for our party of four & well equipped. We were lucky with the weather so took full advantage of the nice enclosed suntrap of a rear garden. Explored Laugharne (Dylans writing shed, Boathouse etc. easy walking distance) Quenched our thirsts in The Mariners. Day out to Tenby was also excellent. Highly recommend Milkwood cottage. Thanks Colin for the info before arriving too.

- Mark, May 2023

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Una March 2023

“Wonderful cottage, ideally located down quiet side street but within easy reach of the castle, strand and pubs.”

Really spacious sitting room with plenty of comfy seating, and a large well-equipped kitchen/diner. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the shower in the bathroom was incredibly powerful. The whole place was spotless. We love Laugharne and will definitely book Milk Wood Cottage. Apologies for leaving a bag of booze behind, we had to leave a day due to a family emergency and left in rather a rush. Please enjoy! Thank you so much for a lovely holiday. Can't wait to come back!

- Una, March 2023

“Fabulous cottage, right in the middle of Laugharne.”

We weren't disappointed!

Hazel September 2022

“Lovely cottage, very clean and comfortable, and in a lovely area.”

Only downside was the lack of parking, which did not bother us too much as we managed to park further down the lane although this could be a problem during the busy season. The welcome chocolates were a nice touch. Would definitely recommend Laugharne as a place to stay.

- Hazel, September 2022
Mark August 2022

“Thank You for letting us stay in your lovely cottage- well stocked and homely- great beds and shower-looks so much nicer than most cottages you see- felt like people lived in it.”

Simon September 2021

“Laugharne is a really interesting, historic seaside village - with lots of pubs and cafes.”

The cottage was in a good location - warm with a good bath and shower and most things we needed in the kitchen. It's worth phoning the owner to get the lowdown on the best place to park and places to eat. We found lots of good country walks nearby - although away from the coast, Welsh farmers sometimes show little respect for footpaths!

Rachel July 2021

“Fabulous location to explore with Laugharne itself being very charming.”

There were 5 of us in the cottage and the chair layout meant we couldn’t all sit round tv or play games without someone on the floor however it is a lovely wee cottage. The house was well equipped and we had a lovely time

- Rachel, July 2021
Jeremy June 2021

“The owner called prior to our trip with helpful and clear instructions for locating the cottage, parking etc and some very helpful local knowledge.”

Milk Wood is a beautifully refurbished cottage in the heart of the vibrant village and exceeded our expectations. A quiet location amongst breathtaking scenery with extremely friendly and welcoming locals. Warm and cool this traditional cottage was a haven. A tranquil garden to relax in and deadhead added to the peace of the setting and just a short walk to pubs, restaurants, shops or the castle. Lots to see and do in the village in the heart of Dylan country or a short cars ride away…amroth and pendine both have beautiful long beaches. Couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely be back, inspiring, relaxing and restorative.

“A lovely cosy cottage in the heart of Laugharne which offers plenty of places to eat out or to take away.”

We (2 adults, 2 children, 1 baby and a dog!) were all very comfortable in the cottage and the wood burner was a real bonus in a rather wet and windy week in August!

Excellent location spoilt for choice for walks great for dogs with them being aloud to go in most shops and some restaurant's

- Colleen, September 2018
Diane September 2018

“Lovely cottage but need to be aware of the hills if unfit.”

Nice touch leaving butter, milk and home grown tomatoes. Bedside lamps needed new fuses and wiring checked. Only 2 out of 4 worked. Laugharne was attractive with good walks and great views. Very friendly place. Lots of dogs and very dog friendly. Would benefit from having internet as there was no phone signal either. Selection of places to eat out. Nearest pub did great pizzas with a wine offer - very good value.

- Diane, September 2018

About the location

LAUGHARNE

Tenby 16 miles.

Laugharne, with its majestic castle standing on a low ridge overlooking the wide Taf River Estuary, is famous for its associations with the poet Dylan Thomas, and a visit to his Boat House and the writing shed where he wrote most of his works is a wonderful experience. Beautiful walks in and around the castle, with breathtaking views of the estuary, can be followed by cream teas in quaint little tea rooms, a drink in the local pub or shopping in the gift shops and mini market. The nearby sandy beach at Pendine is where many land speed records have been famously set on its seven mile stretch of beautiful flat sand, and a little further afield are the seaside resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot. With walks in all directions, great days out at castles, mills and craft centres galore, this is a perfect base for all the family, at any time of the year. With walks in all directions, great days out at castles, mills and craft centres galore, this is a perfect base for all the family, at any time of the year.
