  • 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.

Powered grass site

Liked: Absolutely incredible site.
The kids can run free around the whole site. Super safe and no way of them getting out. The park was great and enough room for ball games.
Shane and Bonnie are the most welcoming wonderful people. They work so hard to keep the grounds so well kept.
Shower toilet washing yo and fridge freezer facilities are next to none. Up there with the best facilities.
£1 for 5 min shower. The shower is amazing!

There is no WiFi. It is not needed. Get the kids outside having adventures and exploring and for you to switch off from the real world!!!

We absolutely love it here.
Can’t wait to return.

Fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: Lovely peaceful site in beautiful countryside with lovely scenery.
Very clean and tidy
Showers and toilets spotlessly clean
Warm welcome from host
Hissy welcome from Sebastian the goose!! You have to meet him, but don’t get too close 😂
Would definitely stay again and recommend to others

Disliked: Only thing I would say - paying to use the shower £1 for 5 mins. I would say though, the shower was powerful and the water very hot which is a bonus. Swings n roundabouts I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

Powered grass site

Liked: Lovely view, upgraded to hard pitch as the grass pitches were wet. Spacious pitch need chocks to level up but only slightly. Can’t comment on the welcome as we didn’t meet anyone in person, only a phone conversation when we first arrived. Rather surprised to have to pay extra for electricity.£1 for 5 min shower but washrooms very clean and private with individual shower, toilet and washbasin. Separate toilet block in addition. Pleasant stay.

Disliked: Paying extra for electricity, expensive shower

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.
