Step into a beautifully converted historic school‑house set in a tranquil countryside location just a short drive from the scenic town of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire
This outstanding property has a private drive, set back from the main road between Laugharne, with its breath-taking Norman castle and plenty of restaurants, and Pendine, with its sandy beach where families can enjoy days out building sandcastles or crabbing in the rock pools. After a busy day exploring locally, the living room with its comfortable sofas, is the perfect place to unwind before gathering around the impressive dining table to enjoy a meal together.
The welcoming entrance hall is full of charm, and leads to the downstairs WC or into the living areas. A spacious and airy lounge with impressive vaulted ceilings which provide a romantic castle feel, with sympathetic ambient lighting. This room is the real heart of this fantastic house, where families can gather and play games or couples can snuggle up and watch a film on the Smart TV. The raised open plan dining room is a large, light and airy space to come together and enjoy a hearty meal.
There is a bespoke country style kitchen with a range oven, mod cons, and well stocked cupboards. This leads to a lovely and relaxing Sun/breakfast room with table and chairs and sofa, a peaceful area to enjoy a coffee and a quiet breakfast in the morning. This leads to a small courtyard with seating and the external utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer, it is ideal for shoes, wellies and coats.
The stunning spiral staircase leads to a mezzanine landing to the bedrooms and bathroom. A peaceful night's sleep awaits in the boutique style bedrooms, all beds come with world famous Hypnos Mattresses, “the world's most comfortable mattress”, with the finest Egyptian Cotton sheets and duvets, dressed with real Welsh heritage in Melin Tregwynt cushions and throws.

My stepdaughter and I spent an amazing week over Christmas and it was every bit as we imagined it would be. We took our 2 dogs with us and spent days at the dog friendly beaches near by. It was all so picturesque and peaceful. Would recommend it 100%
It has been a lovely week staying at the Old School. The house is very well presented and has all you need for your stay. The Kitchen is well equipped making it a ready home from home. The beds were very comfortable. It’s just a short drive to local beaches - the only downside is that you can not walk safely from the house to neighbouring towns. We would return to stay here for sure - thank you for having us!
