Ty Tarw
Ty Tarw, meaning The Bull House in Welsh, was once a barn situated among outbuildings of the old dairy farm on the hillside of the truly stunning Carmarthenshire countryside. It enjoys commanding views over the River Towy estuary and out towards Carmarthen Bay and the Gower Peninsula. The dairy farm was operational up until the 1970s, and the cottage, along with several other farm buildings, has since been converted into a beautiful traditional stone barn teaming with character throughout. It is located at the top of a private road and is only a 5-minute drive from the picture postcard village of Llansteffan and 15 minutes drive from the busy market town of Carmarthen. Enjoy morning walks along the beach, take in the golden sands, step back in time and visit the ruined castle dating back to the early 12th-century, along with the Iron Age earthworks still visible to this day. Once you have finished exploring, enjoy a meal in the village gastro pub or fish and chips on the beach. On the opposite hill to Pilroath, and a 10-minute walk away, is the local hotel. It has stunning views and is perfect for an apperitif and a meal. Alternatively, head home to cook with locally sourced ingredients such as Welsh lamb, Carmarthen ham, sewin and, perhaps, lava bread.
Ty Tarw has retained much of its original charm and character with a spacious modern kitchen leading onto the open plan living/dining area, complete with a focal wood burner and original wood work from the Bull House. On the first floor the master bedroom really is impressive with exposed beams and stone work along with the original stone arched windows. Wake up to a freshly brewed coffee and relax in the conservatory overlooking the courtyard garden which is owned and tended by the neighbouring barn. After that, spend some time in the lovely walled garden taking in the spectacular views of the estuary and castle, before taking a luxurious dip in the hot tub.
There is so much to see and do at all times of the year within easy reach of Ty Tarw. Laughne, famous as the home village of Dylan Thomas, the coastal resort of Tenby, the Cambrian Mountains and the Brecon Beacon National Park are some of the many attractions in this part of Wales. Locally there is sailing, water sports, golf, fishing and horse riding available, which is sure to entertain the most active of families. Oakwood, Wales’s largest theme park, and Folly Farm Zoo are all within a 45-minute drive. The nearest village shop is in Llansteffan which also serves coffees and takeaway pizzas. Beach 2 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
