"Tranquil retreats set within spacious grounds...just a short walk from sandy beaches."
Approached by a sweeping driveway and set in the heart of the tranquil village of Llansteffan, The Grove comprises of Grove House (ORP), an impressive Georgian house built in 1790, The Dairy (OSI), a thoughtfully converted old dairy also built circa 1700, Grove Barn (OTO), a tastefully converted property, and Grove Cottage (OVS), a spacious characterful home with cosy wood-burning stove and electric range. They are located just eight miles from the county town of Carmarthen and lie within beautiful split-level landscaped gardens, which extend to almost two acres, and which have been thoughtfully cultivated with a variety of plants and flowers for everyone to enjoy.
The grounds provide plenty of space for children and adults to roam around and enjoy, however, parents should note that there are several unfenced ledges and steps that could prove difficult for toddlers. With breathtaking views over the castle, the Towy estuary, seashore and beyond to the village of Ferryside, the properties are just a short walk from large sandy beaches, quiet coves and rock pools - a paradise for children.
The village of Llansteffan is full of ancient history. Besides the castle, built in the 12th century, the local church also dates back to Norman times. There are two pubs, both serving food, a restaurant, a local store and a post office - all within a short walk. For more shops and a local market, the town of Carmarthen is just 8 miles away.
The area boasts outstanding coastal walks through National Trust property around the headland of Wharley Point with views of the Taf Estuary and Laugharne. A visit to Laugharne, made famous by Dylan Thomas and Under Milkwood, is a must. A range of attractions can be visited easily including the National Welsh Botanical Gardens, the Pembrokeshire National Park, Tenby from where boat trips to Caldey Island can be taken, and St. Davids, as well as a number of children’s farms and museums.
The Tywi Valley curves and darts its way east of Carmarthen through some of the most magical scenery in Wales. The landscape is infused with an eerie splendour, making it easy to see why the Merlin legend has taken such a hold in these parts. The thirty-mile trip through the valley from Carmarthen to Llandovery displays some gentle green hills topped with ruined castles, most notably the wonderful Carreg Cennen near Llandeilo.
