Charming Cottage Retreat by Ferryside Beach and steps from Welsh Coastal Path

Bwthyn Bach (translated from 'little cottage' in Welsh) is a contemporary and stylish holiday home, set in the beautiful and peaceful village of Ferryside. This quaint, semi-detached cottage features a cosy living room with log burner, a well-equipped kitchen/dining room and a modern double bedroom overlooking the impressive Llansteffan Castle. Outside, a small, enclosed courtyard provides peace and quiet to enjoy a morning coffee with sunshine and sea air.

Situated in the village of Ferryside, near the mouth of the River Tywi, Bwthyn Bach is located perfectly to enjoy Ferryside beach and the village. Ferryside has a local pub, The White Lion and Post Office with its own request stop train station on the Carmarthen to Manchester line. The local area around the property provides a great base for walking, as well as enjoying the amenities that Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire towns have to offer. Less than a minute walk to the Welsh coastal path.

Bwthyn Bach delight.
Pouring down when we arrived but warm and welcoming inside. Tastefully decorated and well equipped but no shops in the village so take essentials with you. Ideally situated for the estuary and railway station to travel to either Carmarthen or Tenby. Lovely beaches in Llansteffan and Burry Port with Kidwelly all within easy reach.

Perfect
The cottage was just as advertised and had absolutely everything we needed. Jon had provided tea, coffee and gluten free cookies and lactose free milk specifically for my diet, so thoughtful. The cottage is small but was the right size for us and the bed was very comfortable as was having a luxurious bath in the evening. We loved the way the place was decorated with quirky lights, ornaments and lovely colours. Everyone we bumped into was friendly nd welcoming and for the weekend we went into Carmarthen, Tenby and Kidwelly. It was just exactly what we needed for our weekend visiting family.

Winter getaway
Lovely dog friendly cottage in a perfect location for us, just a minute's walk to the beach. Jon was the perfect host and his communication was excellent with us throughout the booking process, especially when we had to rebook due to flooding in the village. The cottage is pretty and well equipped and the log burner was a welcome addition at the end of a busy day. Traeth coffee shop next to the train station was dog friendly and welcoming. The only negative which is nothing to do with the cottage is that the village currently has no shop so for even a pint of milk you need to drive 10mins to the nearest convenience store. Pembrey Country park and the beach there was fabulous, there are many walks very close to Ferryside and we were lucky enough to have lovely weather to explore. :)

A delightful retreat
This peaceful, pretty cottage is comfortable, cosy and warm. The log burner is perfect for cwtching in on dark, wet, winter nights. If you’re looking for relaxation, this is it.

Walking holiday
The property was clean, bright and fresh. It was very comfortable and we felt immediately at home. Everything was in excellent condition. There was a lovely welcome pack for us and clear instructions as to how everything worked. We loved exploring this beautiful part of Wales and were grateful for information on local walks.

Excellent accommodation. Well equipped and bathroom had shower gel etc., not expected that! Washing machine handy. Tiny area to sit at the back, however, it did get the sun for a good part of the day. Location to beach excellent. The furnishings were if a good standard. Maybe some higher back chairs for neck and back support. The White Lion is a lovely pub and very welcoming to us. Also very clean.

Beautiful Little Cottage
This cottage is small and perfectly formed! Tasteful and stylish decor, warm and cosy, everything you need for a comfortable stay. We found Jon to be very quick at responding, and he happily went the extra mile to help us organise our stay. We would definitely return, should we be in the area again. 5 stars!

We had the best wee trip to Ferryside, a beautiful wee cottage located in a great place just next to the beach and only half an hour away from large shopping centres so close to all you'd need but far enough away that you have the perfect quiet relaxed getaway - would 100% come back and stay here.

Bwthyn Bach is a hidden gem in the extremely friendly village of Ferryside
Just a step away from the estuary shoreline - a great space for dog walking. The cottage caters for every need and is furnished to a very high specification. Great base for exploring the Welsh coastal path and the beautiful Llansteffan beach is a ferry ride away. I was travelling on my own but was made to feel very welcome with the locals! Owner Jon was extremely helpful which made the booking experience very easy. Will be returning!
