Gateway Resort

Bag a berth here and you’ll be within easy reach of some of Wales’ finest beaches – the gorgeous eight-mile stretch of sand at Cefn Sidan is about half an hour away by car, and you can get over to the Gower peninsula easily too (Rhossili Bay, 45 minutes away, is frequently voted one of the world’s best beaches). If you like to get active, hit the traffic-free cycle path for several miles through the Millennium Coastal Park, swing clubs at the golf course five minutes’ drive away or head to Pembrey Country Park (half an hour away) for horse riding, sand yachting, dry slope skiing and a toboggan run. Those who prefer to spectate may want to see if there’s a rugby match on at Llanelli’s Parc y Scarlets. For a family-friendly day out, the Llanelli Wetlands Centre is a few minutes’ drive away, and Kidwelly Castle can be reached in half an hour or so. Heatherton World of Activities, Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and Manor Wildlife Park are all around an hour’s drive away.
