Carmarthen 2.5 miles. Green Grove Barn is a spectacular, reverse-level barn conversion on a small holding in the Camarthenshire countryside. The property is ideal for two couples or a family and boasts a multitude of home conveniences, including a dishwasher and Smart TV, while also providing a great rural experience. When you arrive, you will be greeted by spacious parking and a wonderful private courtyard; you can spend your nights in the open air while making use of the BBQ in the private courtyard. Drop your bags in the ground-floor bedroom, a double with views of the ponies' sand school, then ascend to the additional bedrooms and living areas. Another elegant double room awaits you upstairs, complete with sleek, wall storage for your items. The well-equipped kitchen/diner will have your party's chef cooking up meals for the entire group, while the rest catch-up and plan a day of adventures at the dining table for four. From here, proceed to the sitting area, which is wide and has floor-to-ceiling windows and a Juliet balcony, which has been cleverly placed to appreciate the rural views. When you're ready to go exploring, head to nearby Carmarthen, which has a popular range of shops, pubs, and restaurants as well as the Carmarthenshire County Museum at Abergwili. The National Botanic Gardens of Wales has the world's largest single span glasshouse and is home to the British Bird of Prey Centre. Also the charming Aberglasney Gardens are only 9 miles away as you travel up the beautiful Tywi Valley. The Gwili Steam Railway is a must, taking you back in time on a journey to remember. Make your way to Llansteffan for a day at the beach with a picnic or higher up in the impressive castle ruins. Or head to Laugharne where you can learn about the life of Dylan Thomas with his Writing Shed and the poet's former house, now a charming museum. Kidwelly, famed for its Norman castle is also worthy of your time, as is neighbouring Pembrey Country Park. If you're in luck with your timing, enjoy the thrill of the races at Ffoslas Racecourse. Choose Green Grove Barn as your West Wales base, whatever the weather.
Carmarthen, which overlooks the Tywi River, has the ruins of a Norman castle, the site of a Roman amphitheatre, a museum with Roman relics, and a fair selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. Carmarthenshire is regarded as the "Garden of Wales," and its stunning shore and countryside provide the ideal setting for a variety of activities. There are several country parks, show caverns, gold mines, steam railroads, and castles to explore, as well as superb walking, cycling, birdwatching, fishing, and golf.
