Family-friendly home in a great beach/rural/touring location

Great holiday rental home for large families or golfing parties in the heart of Pembrey village, West Wales; a walk to beaches, cycle tracks, friendly local pubs and right beside a children’s play park and mini rugby field. Just hit the beach or ramble, cycle, tour Carmarthenshire and beyond. The house offers off-road parking for two cars; a sun room that opens to provide an indoor-outdoor entertaining area; a seven-burner, four-oven stove; and a safe enclosed garden for little guests. You will find this a perfect touring location for days out in the Gower, Towy Valley, Brecon Beacons, Tenby and the Pembrokeshire Coast. Of course, you may never want to leave the immediate neighbourhood, preferring to spend your time on seven-mile Cefn Sidan beach, the Pembrey Country Park, Millennium Coastal Path , Pembrey Motorsports Circuit or the Ashburnham Golf Course. The family-friendly house has views of Gower, the Golf Course and Pembrey Mountain, an easy walk for even more stunning views.

Accommodation and Facilities for the house in Carmarthenshire, Wales

Pembrey - Ashburnham Golf Club

You could play a different nearby course every day for a week when based in Pembrey. Let’s start with the course that the House Beside The Park overlooks: Ashburnham. This is the demanding seaside venue where the great Welshman and winning Ryder Cup Captain, Dai Rees won the PGA title in 1959. It has long been regarded as one of the best links courses in Britain. If this is your first visit to Ashburnham, it won't take you long to appreciate why. Ahead of you stretches a pleasurable test of your shot-making ability.

Machynys Golf and Country Club

Just five miles away from your holiday base is the Jack Nicklaus-designed Machynys. A modern links championship golf course, Machynys Peninsula has been created to challenge the best players in championship conditions - and yet still be enjoyable for the higher handicapper, by utilising up to five tees per hole. Son Gary Nicklaus has identified some of his favourite and most challenging holes as the 4th, 5th, 16th, and 18th. He says: “The view from the greens of the whole bay is spectacular, whether the tide is in or out.' 'We were blown away by its splendour, Machynys is the finest new course and a contender for the highest new entry in Golf World’s top 100 courses in Britain and Ireland' - Golf World 2005

Other golf favourites

From the house, you can see the Gower Peninsula. That’s where you’ll find Pennard. The holes are routed over classically undulating and tumbling linksland, full of hummocks, hillocks and hollows and pocked with dunes large and small; in sum, exactly what we might hope to find beside the shore. Yet this exceptional terrain is not beside the shore - It is 200 feet above it. No wonder Pennard has been called 'the links in the sky.' A short 4 mile drive from the house takes you to Glyn Abbey. It’s on the southern slope of the Gwendraeth valley and set amidst a woodland area with tremendous views in all directions. This is another relatively new course, characterised by its wide undulating fairways. The 18 hole par 70 course is 6,202 yards in length and has been built to international standards. There are some tremendous holes to test even the lowest handicap golfer. Each hole has its own character and requires considerable thought.
