Ysgubor Wen Burry Port

Ysgubor Wen is a converted barn on the edge of Burry Port. It’s detached, so there are no neighbours on the other side of the wall. You get five bedrooms and it sleeps up to ten. There are two bathrooms. It’s got a 4 Star rating.

The garden is enclosed. There’s a patio with a barbecue and a seven-seater hot tub. Inside, there’s a games room and a woodburning stove. It’s a family place. We provide a cot, highchair, and stairgate if you need them. Bedding and towels are included. You can bring up to two dogs.

Burry Port is a small harbour town. There’s a shop about a mile away. The nearest pub and restaurant are a few minutes walk, maybe 500 yards. The big beach is at Pembrey Country Park, about a ten minute drive. It’s miles of sand. You can often see shipwrecks there when the tide is out. The park itself has a toboggan run and a dry ski slope.

You’re right on the Millennium Coastal Path for walking. For golf, there’s the Ashburnham links course at Pembrey, or the famous one at Llanelli. The Llanelli Scarlets rugby stadium and Ffos Las racecourse are nearby if you want to watch sport.

If you drive inland for half an hour, you get to the market towns like Llandeilo and Carmarthen. There are several old castles in that direction, like Kidwelly and Carreg Cennen.

Swansea is about 25 minutes east by car. The Pembrokeshire border is roughly 40 minutes west, so you can get to Tenby for a day out.
