Walks in west Wales and pet-friendly stays in a peaceful country setting… what a lovely location is Laugharne View Caravan Site. Bringing a dog along or not, this park on a working smallholding has spectacular views over the Taf estuary and Caldey Island, so it’s a first-rate place for a break soaking up the Carmarthenshire scenery. With paths to ply all around, it’s also a splendid spot for walks that should appeal to those on four legs or two – it’s possible to potter over to Llansteffan, a couple of miles away, directly from the park for visits to a wide sandy beach (make sure to check for seasonal restrictions if you're taking a dog) as well as a castle that dates back to the 12th century. From there, you might choose to extend your walk on the coast path or settle on the beach to fish for flounders and bass. More interested in strolls that result in supper? A pub is within a five-minute walk, and the eateries of Carmarthen – the oldest town in Wales – are just over 20 minutes away by car. If you've got a bit more time in town, ride on the antique Gwili Steam Railway into the hinterlands of the country or stay in Carmarthen to browse the boutiques. If you’re firmly sticking to country pursuits, stay on site to peer at the chickens on the farm, take the dog for a run around the spacious grounds, or set up a camping chair and use the wifi to help build tomorrow’s itinerary. You might also like to pick up a couple of drinks from the site's Hayday bar to complete the picture… The amenities at Laugharne View Caravan Site include a toilet block and a basic shower block. Please note that there is a non-smoking policy in place at this site and that some parts of the site are adults-only.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (adults only)

Liked: Spotless facilities. Very friendly owners. A lovely little bar, with live acts playing on Friday and Saturday evenings. A small on site shop with an honesty box - we had some lovely free range eggs from there. A nice pub just down the road serving delicious food (the Sunday carvery was very tasty). We will be looking to book this site again for next year.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: Lovely site, beautiful views. Clean amenities. We didn’t make it to the bar but throughly enjoyed the live music from our pitch.

Disliked: Yes, the toilets are far away but it’s made clear in the description. On the plus side, it helps get your step count up 😁

Electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked: Amazing location with the best views of Laugharne and Caldey Island in the distance . Watching sunset was incredible . 40 min walk to Llansteffan and bus back with the dogs . The small bar on site was lovely with some local live music . Again gave the best view from here . Was lovely to see the owners chatting to customers and v safe for children . Their fresh eggs were amazing. Hazy Pale Ale was a hit with husband. Highly recommend and definitely return .

Disliked: Just a small thing but no lights on field down to van. Obviously this isn't a problem early evening but later on definitely needs a but of light .

Local attractions

While Laugharne’s visible from the park, it’s a 25-minute drive away around the estuary to this pretty village famed for its castle and poet Dylan Thomas’ writing shed. For more of the area's history, National Trust attractions further away – like the Roman-era Dolaucothi Gold Mines (an hour’s drive) and the handsome house and park at Dinefwr (50 minutes) – should also feature on your to-do list. Also inland are many adventures, including the mountain biking trails of Brechfa Forest (55 minutes); swing back to the seaside and cycle more sedately along the Millennium Coastal Path if thrill-seeking on two wheels sounds a little bit too much for your tastes. Of course, you’re also never far from the coast in this part of Wales… Pembrey Country Park’s miles and miles of sandy beach are a 45-minute drive away, and the shorelines of the Gower Peninsula and Pembrokeshire are also less than an hour away.
