Church house farm - wash rooms and kitchen!

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.

Lynn R. Sept 2024

Electric grass pitch

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

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: We were on a blacksmith experience so we were not on site too long mainly on an evening but it was lovely and clean, Great area Owners were polite and helpful. Pitches were well prepared and clean and good value for money. All the facilities well maintained and in good condition.

Disliked: I only have one and would not call it a dislike but some feedback and I even know it's a little petty! But I would of liked some where to get change onsite for the showers out of hours, As I didn't know you needed coins to operate them, but also a little extra time on the timer for the water to heat up epically on the colder darker days just like 20 -30 secs.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Staff were friendly and very helpful. Location was peaceful and had spacious pitches. There is a block with 6 or 8 toilets, one wash basin. There is also a raised block with a kitchen and four washrooms, one of which is larger for a family or accessible for wheelchair. The kitchen has a sink, fridge and freezer along with a washing machine and tumble dryer (washing machine and dryer are coin operated). The washrooms have a basin, toilet and shower, the shower is coin operated, £1 for five minutes. There's a shop on site which we didn't use. You are only a short drive to Camarthen and other villages with plenty of places to eat, none within walking distance of the site but less than 15 minute drive. The site does allow dogs but we didn't take ours on this trip.

Disliked: Although the site rules clearly state dogs must be kept on a lead this was ignored by some campers and there dog was running around all over the site. This didn't bother us but if we had taken our dog it would have. Our dog is very anxious around other dogs so this would have been an issue. I do think if the rules state dogs must be kept on leads then the site owners/staff should be enforcing this.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: we spoke to the dog owner on numerous occasions but unfortunately she chose to continue to ignore the rules , for this i can only apologise.

Child friendly site, clean and modern

Electric grass pitch

Liked: That my child can be free and safe

Disliked: Restricting my dog to a lead when it's ok for the owners dogs to be free and poo. The owners not very friendly or talkative

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We have large signs requesting that dogs must be kept on a lead . We had numerous complaints that your dog was running everywhere and fouling - even in the children's park , which you made no attempt to pick up. Our dogs live here and are part of the campsite ,they are very friendly (see previous reviews) also it is not possible for us to be talking with all of our guests all day when we are working although we try our best even on a busy bank holiday weekend

Liked: Nice peaceful location. Good,clean facilities. Fridge, freezer washing machine and tumble drier. Plenty of space for children to play. Great area to explore with kids. Friendly, approachable staff who dealt professionally with people who chose to keep the whole campsite awake until 3am.

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.
