Great HouseLaugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales Sleeps 6

Bold and majestic, the aristocrat of this coastal village stands proud on a high street once graced by poets & painters.

Different for Sheepskin, not rustic and stand alone in the hills but Georgian splendour by the sea. A place where Norman kings built castles, Turner sketched the estuary and Dylan Thomas famously drank whisky. Comfortable with its rich history, this extraordinary house invites you to experience a time of indulgent plenty.

Pass through the regal front door into an arched hallway, high ceilinged rooms full of treasures on either side. Sweep up the elegant staircase bathed in sunshine from towering windows to bedrooms crowned with four poster beds and quirky style. Soak in the roll top baths and wonder at the stories behind the galleries of intriguing pictures. Feel the passion, the adventure and the pride in this remarkable house and question if you can ever have enough time to enjoy it all…

Mobile reception is patchy, Orange is best. There are wireless internet facilities.

TV reception is not good anywhere in Laugharne, hence the DVD collection at Great House

Great House has a swimming pool, many fine ornaments & stone steps from the kitchen, therefore is not suitable for toddlers
