Step inside to find two of the three well-appointed bedrooms on the ground floor: a spacious king-size and a bright twin—ideal for children or additional guests. Upstairs, a second king-size bedroom offers added privacy and features its own en-suite bathroom, complete with both a bath and a walk-in shower. A separate family bathroom on the ground floor provides a relaxing space for a long soak after a day out, while a convenient utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and an additional WC ensures a comfortable stay.

The heart of the home lies on the first floor, where a generous open-plan space brings together a well-equipped kitchen, a sociable dining area with breakfast bar, and a welcoming sitting area—perfect for relaxed suppers, film nights, or simply enjoying time together.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden features an artificial lawn—ideal for children and pets—as well as a smart patio area with outdoor furniture, perfect for alfresco dining or evening drinks. The private hot tub adds a touch of luxury, offering a peaceful place to unwind beneath the stars. A balcony completes the outdoor offering, providing a tranquil spot for your morning coffee or a quiet moment at sunset.

From your base at Cottage 1, explore the charm of Laugharne and its surroundings. Begin with a visit to the historic Laugharne Castle (Castell Talacharn), or venture further to the impressive Kidwelly Castle. Families will enjoy a day at Xcel Bowl, while those seeking a slower pace can enjoy a stroll or picnic in Carmarthen Park.

Literature enthusiasts should not miss the Dylan Thomas Boathouse, once home to the celebrated Welsh poet. For a classic seaside experience, head to Llansteffan Beach, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip or a traditional day by the sea.

With so much to discover nearby, Cottage 1 offers a well-located and comfortable base for your next Carmarthenshire adventure.

Five stars.

An exceptional stay in Laugharne We genuinely couldn’t have asked for more from our stay at Milkwood Cottage. The house is absolutely beautiful, finished and equipped to an exceptionally high standard, but what really makes it special is the setting. The views across the estuary towards Laugharne Castle are spectacular, whether from the main open plan living area, the front bedroom or the garden. They are just as impressive at night when the castle is illuminated. Opening the sliding doors from the living room onto the veranda in the morning, with the sun rising across the view, was a real highlight. The kitchen is exceptional and extremely well equipped, while the bedrooms and en suite are beautifully finished and very comfortable. Outside, the tiered garden is fantastic, fully enclosed and extremely dog friendly, with a great open space and a superb hot tub that was already warm and ready for us when we arrived. The location is hard to beat. You are right in the heart of Laugharne, with the pub and convenience store only a couple of minutes away, and the Dylan Thomas walk around five minutes from the house. It was a beautiful walk and perfect for the dogs. Even the practical details have been thought through. The drive is easy to access with plenty of room for several vehicles. A huge amount of credit must go to the owners and Skye Cottages for creating and offering such a wonderful property and experience. It is one of those places where the quality of the house, location and views all come together perfectly. A genuine five star stay. We were sorry to leave and are already looking forward to booking our next visit.

Just Perfection!

Upon arrival, huge undercover huge parking area…..easy use of key safe . The property was spotlessly clean with all needed for an enjoyable holiday. Good communication from the owner and information relating to the area. The hot tub was a bonus which is cleaned on a weekly basis. Lovely views from the ideally placed tub across the estuary and castle. Laugharne itself is very friendly. I engaged with several of the residents in conversation about the area and history. Dogs seemed to be welcomed everywhere, the two cafes, pubs and wine bar. For a scenic walk, go past the boathouse, into the wooded area and along the coastal footpath. I will definitely recommend and will be booking again in the near future.

We loved everything about this property.

The design of the house is very clever and you get a sense of luxury and comfort whether in the lounge, the kitchen, the bedrooms or in the garden. The beds especially were so comfortable. The location could not be better and the views we had whilst enjoying a drink on the balcony were stunning. This is probably the best holiday property that we have stayed in and would not hesitate in recommending it to others. Short walks to the cafes, shops and pub/restaurants meaning you can leave the car safely parked in the ample parking bay attached to the property. Lovely to have access to Netflix and Prime on the TV and a nice touch having a supply of board games. I needed to contact the owner about a couple of very minor issues and both were sorted instantly. A lovely holiday in beautiful accommodation.
