Dylan Thomas's boathouse is also a stone's throw away. It is one of two barns at Pentowyn, in a beautiful rural setting on the Taf estuary in Carmarthenshire.

The cottage is in an idyllic location. Beautifully maintained with everything you need. Myself, my husband and two little dogs really enjoyed exploring the area. Three nights wasn't enough...we shall be back!
