Lose yourselves in the incredible views from this impressive, waterside property in Ferryside, West Wales. Sleeping six guests, plus a pair of their four-legged friends, the three-bedroom holiday home overlooks the River Tywi. In a perfect location for anyone wishing to follow a stretch of the Wales Coast Path, while also being close to a post office, pub and railways station, the property could suit a family or group of friends eager to escape together.

Stroll inside to find a clever, upside-down layout with a breezy, seaside theme. At ground-floor level, discover a king-size bedroom, with en-suite shower room, plus a twin and shared shower room. Head up the glass and oak staircase to a double room on the first floor. Also at this level, is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its glorious views. Open the doors in here to stroll out on to the balcony. Prepare meals in the kitchen, then dine together. Find your favourite shows on the TV via the Amazon Fire Stick or a film on Netflix. There is also a selection of DVDs for the Blue Ray player. Discover a WC at this level too. Relax out in the sunshine of the shared courtyard on warm days. The property comes with parking for one car, but additional space can be found in a car park 100 metres away. Guests should be aware that the stairs are open tread and steep.

Pick up the Wales Coast Path and walk 13.5 miles down to the beach and country park at Pembrey. Those who prefer a shorter jaunt might like to try the section to Kidwelly, which is less than 4 miles, and to visit the medieval castle while they are there.

Lovely upside down house, you can see for miles. It was a little stormy the days we went and just watching the waves crashing below us was lovely. House was clean and comfortable, and the Welsh cakes went down a treat!! There was milk in the fridge waiting for us. So lovely, a very thoughtful gesture!

Lovely well equipped house, with a fabulous view over the sea. Next to the railway line, which we knew but it didn't bother us. Would stay again. Our dog loved sitting on the balcony watching the world go by.

The property is comfortable and well presented/ equipped. It offers fantastic views over the estuary and we enjoyed watching the comings and goings of the tide, wildlife and cocklers.

The cottage was in a great location and had lovely views. The communication before and during our stay was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. You are right next to the train tracks so there was some expected noise from the train but this did not disturb us.
