Ty Log

Holiday Rental Description

A cabin in the woods reimagined, this home belongs in the centrefold of a magazine. Traditional wooden panelling adds a rustic feel to this home, but it's nicely contrasted with a stylish monochrome palette and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook a colourful sensory garden and pond. It's easy to spend an afternoon sitting on the south-facing deck, enjoying the peace of the Welsh countryside and keeping an eye out for the swallows, swifts, ducks and frogs living their lives on the water — even an otter has been spotted in the grounds by previous guests. After a stroll among the greenery, unwind with a glass of wine in front of the log burner or head up to the snug in the mezzanine with a well-thumbed book. Venturing out, two sandy beaches, Norman castles and a few quaint cafes await in the village of Llansteffan, which can be reached in eight minutes by car. Also close by is Green Castle Woods – about a five-minute drive – which is perfect for afternoon strolls through ancient woodlands. Or, ten minutes in the opposite direction lies Carmarthen, believed to be the oldest town in Wales – head there for places to eat, drink and shop aplenty.

Home truths:
*Bar the upper mezzanine level (where the snug area is), this cabin is completely wheelchair accessible, including a step-free path to the front door — all bedrooms and toilets are on the ground floor
*The property might not be suitable for children under eight years old due to the close proximity to open ponds
*There are two other homes on-site including the owner's house, but the grounds are designed so that your property is completely private from the others
*There's free parking available on the premises – this is a rural spot, so you’ll need a car
*The host can provide stairgates for little ones on request
