  • Peaceful 20-acre dog-friendly site with views of Llansteffan's hills
  • A 10-minute drive to Carmarthen and the beach; castles further out
  • On-site play area with swings and slides; shops and pubs in Carmarthen
You might like the sound of walks along the Welsh clifftops or be keen to explore castles, gold mines and the countryside of West Wales. Either way, you’ll need a cosy base, and that’s exactly what you get at Church House Farm Getaways. This quiet, peaceful site in Carmarthenshire is just the place for families, friends and pets to unwind in between their adventures. What do you get by way of views? Well, the 20 acres of land overlook the splendid hills and fields of Llansteffan. Facilities? At your disposal are toilets, showers and a playground with swings and slides where the kids can run off any excess energy. When you’re rather craving a day on some golden sand, Llansteffan beach is just 10 minutes’ drive away and next to Llansteffan Castle with spectacular views over the Tywi estuary. Otherwise, make your way right onto the Wales Coast Path, which runs past the site. With your dose of fresh sea air and hikes sorted, it may be time to head to Carmarthen for a little urban entertainment. A 10-minute drive away, the county town is crammed with places to eat out including pubs and restaurants, plus shops and markets. Those of you who are also fans of the sand, sea and that sort of thing can locate swims and shipwrecks at Pembrey Country Park (35 minutes' drive). Other options are paddleboarding from Saundersfoot beach (40 minutes) or sea expeditions from Tenby, such as kayak sessions through caves and jet ski safaris to Caldey Island.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Lovely clean site with new facilities. Good location not far from the town. Nice little walk for dog walk.

Disliked: Having to pay for showers, it is only £1 for a 5 minute shower so it’s not expensive but I think should have been provided due to the price of site.

Powered grass site

Liked: Thanks to Shane, Bonnie and the dogs Sam and Ben for a great stay. Site was perfect for us, quiet, tidy and well maintained. Facilites were great, and pitch was flat and roomy. Thanks for the eggs which we thoroughly enjoyed when we got home. A great site for getting out and about around the local area. A little gem hidden away in the countryside.

Disliked: Nothing negative

Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Great small family-run campsite a few miles outside of Carmarthen. Well drained flat hardstanding electric pitch that was perfect for our camper van and awning. Great amenities including new shower block with lots of hot water on tap. Perfect base to explore the beautiful Carmarthenshire countryside and just a short drive to the coast and places like Tenby.

Disliked: Nothing - all good.

DAVID J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site

Liked: Cracking site with friendly approachable owners. We were on a slightly sloping hardstanding with electric, individual water and drainage. Toilet and washing facilities are spotless new buildings. Whole site is very clean and well maintained, with kids play area, dog walk and open sunny views. New owners have further plans to develop the site with shop and reception etc (council willing). I'm sure over the next few years this site will only get better and better. We will certainly be returning.

Disliked: Nearest shop is about ten minutes drive away. Which isn't bad but if you've had a couple of drinks and need a loaf of bread then you're stuck! Owners intend to put a shop on site and that would be very welcome. No Wifi at present, but again owners will be sorting this. Mobile signal is good though and we had no problem getting TV through G4 and using phone has hotspot.

Route directions

When travelling from the west along the A40, please continue to follow the A40 until you reach the first big roundabout (next to B&Q). Take the road signposted for Llansteffan from the roundabout. Do not come off the A40 before this point, as otherwise there is a very steep and difficult hill. The road leading to the site is a single track, so to ensure you do not meet oncoming farm traffic and have to reverse, please turn onto Church Road, drive past the first layby and pull into the second concrete layby on the right (at the top of the hill). Then, call Bonnie or Shane using the details provided upon booking. They will stop anyone going down to allow you to travel the short distance up to the site.

Local attractions

When you’re not navigating your way around the Wales Coast Path, other places that will bring you a little closer to nature include the acres of countryside, formal gardens and nature reserve at the National Botanic Garden of Wales (20 minutes’ drive). Smaller but just as spectacular are Aberglasney Gardens (half an hour) and Green Castle Wood (20 minutes’ walk). Those of you who’d like to have a good poke around some historical places will have great opportunities around here too. Dinefwr Castle (35 minutes’ drive) and Kidwelly Castle (25 minutes) are some of the local fortresses. Mining history is on the menu at the National Trust’s Dolaucothi Gold Mines (55 minutes). From further back in time, the National Trust’s Newton House at Dinefwr (35 minutes) has an 18th-century deer park and a Welsh country house with a nature reserve on all sides. There’s the Gwili Steam Railway (20 minutes) too, if you fancy climbing aboard a steam train. Looking for those family-friendly places that can keep the kids well entertained? Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo (35 minutes) and Oakwood Theme Park (40 minutes) have that down.
