The Old Bakery
is situated on the Towy River estuary in the village of Llansteffan, 8
miles from the market town of Carmarthen. The house is built around a
flowery courtyard. It is on the site of the original village bakery,
and the outside stone walls survive.
The sandy beach, perfect for
children, is literally across the road. There are opportunities for
splendid coastal walks. You could go fishing or cockle gathering, but
you could also just sit still and watch the light reflect on the tidal
sea, or the many sailing boats. There is plenty of driftwood so
picnicking on the beach could include a beach barbecue.
Llansteffan
is a friendly village overlooked by an impressive castle, with an old
church, 2 pubs, a post office, a shop and a good restaurant. There are
opportunities for coastal walks, bird watching, fishing, tennis,
riding, cycling, golf and boating. You could explore nearby castles,
gardens, beaches and mountains.
This is Dylan Thomas country. He
spent childhood holidays with his family, who lived in Llansteffan, and
the village and its characters were a major influence on his work. The
bakery was run by two sisters, who are said to be the models for Dai
Bread's two wives in Under Milk Wood. Laugharne, where Thomas lived at
the end of his life, is on the same estuary, although a different
river. We recommend a visit to the boat house and his writing hut.
You
are within half an hour of the National Botanic Garden of Wales. Many
other castles and gardens are close by. If you wish to explore Wales
further, you could plan easy day trips to the Black Mountain, the
Preseli hills or the Pembrokeshire coast.
The Old Bakery is
graded four stars by the Welsh Tourist Board. The accommodation is on
the ground floor. It comprises two double bedrooms (one with double
bed, the other with 2 single beds), a large sittingroom, a
kitchen/diner, a bathroom with bath, shower and toilet, a cloakroom
with second toilet. Visitors have the use of a flowery courtyard.
