The Hideaway

Holiday Accommodation

3 star self catering accommodation, sleeps 2, from £210 per week

At Glyn Elwyn, Blaenwaun, nr. St. Clears - All year short breaks - Double Bedroom - Ensuite Shower - Television

This cosy, compact holiday accommodation is attached to the Glyn Elwyn smallholding, situated on a quiet country lane and ideal for a peaceful, relaxing break.

Sitting midway between Carmarthen and Cardigan, it offers an ideal location for visiting both the South and West coastlines from Tenby to Cardigan, as well as the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Preseli Hills, and this year sees the launching of the Wales Coast Path. Wales will then be the first country in the world to have a formal trail the whole way around its coast. Furthermore, the Wales Coast Path (which is 870 miles long) will join up with Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail to provide 1,030 miles of walking opportunities right around the Welsh border. The sheer size and brilliance of the Path has already received public recognition with Coastal Wales being acknowledged as the world’s top destination to visit in 2012 by Lonely Planet, the travel guide experts.

Walkers, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts will be spoilt with the outstanding natural beauty of the Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire coastlines, including the numerous islands such as Skomer, Ramsey and Grassholm to the south west, and The Gower peninsula to the south east.

Tenby (don't misss out on a boat trip to Caldey Island owned by monks of the Cistercian order), Laugharne (with Dylan Thomas' boathouse), Pendine Sands (with it's beach stretching for 7 miles and where Malcolm Campbell and J.G. Parry-Thomas set the world land speed record five times between 1924 and 1927), the Preseli Hills (part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and perhaps best known for being the source of the bluestone rocks used to build Stonehenge), and St. Davids (Britain's smallest city) are all within easy reach, and garden enthusiasts must visit the magnificent National Botanic Gardens of Wales and Aberglasney in the stunning Towy valley, famous for its fishing, castles and historic houses.

The nearest shop is approximately 5 miles away, pub 1 mile, with restaurant and takeaways 10 miles to the south at St Clears.

There is also a Leisure Centre 8.5 miles away with visitor day memberships available to use the facilities, including swimming pool, gym, sauna and jacuzzi, with a coffee shop which provides a range of light meals, as well as breakfasts etc.

Accommodation comprises of a Lounge/kitchen/diner, 1 double bedroom with en-suite shower and basin, separate toilet.
(Travel cot available for from birth to 15kg if required)
Oil central heating, electric by £1 coin meter, bed linen and towels included, colour TV, Freeview, DVD player, radio/CD player, microwave combination oven and grill, off road parking.
Non smokers only.
No pets.

NB: There are 2 steps up to the bedroom.

Laundry - We provide a laundry service to include washing and drying at £5 per load or £10 per load if ironing is required too.   Just ask.

The accommodation is on a working smallholding, with our pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, geese, ducks and horses, as well as Holly and Tash, our dogs.

A benefit of this is that we would normally expect to have free range eggs for sale, as well as home produced pork and lamb during certain times of the year, and seasonal fruit and veg.

Sadie and Bernie, Dorset

"We have had a lovely time here at Glyn Elwyn, the weather was kind to us for October and we had some lovely walks on local beaches, was great to meet Mandy and Derek and the dogs of course! Our time spent seeing the animals was extra special - we had a lovely peaceful and restful 3 days thanks again!!"
Paul and Sue, Telford

"Thankyou both for a truly wonderful holiday. A truly beautiful place to stay! The best bit for me was the tour of the farm! We had a fabulous time. We will definately be back as so much more to explore that a week is just not long enough. I hope when we do return you can convince Mick some more about the joys of keeping sheep, as you did such a good job of it this time! Good luck with the piglets to be, hope everything goes well for them and the rest of your beautiful animals and of course yourselves, Holly and Tash xxx"
