TradItional seaside cottage.  Heddfan (Translated means peaceful hills) was built in 1896 by a local farmer.  

Generations of miners from the South Wales Valleys trekked down west on the train to catch the ferry from Ferryside to Llansteffan for Miners Fortnight during the 19th and early 20th Century.

We have fully renovated the cottage over the last 2 years, to offer every comfort.

Llansteffan has 2 beaches, the nearest being just 0.4 miles from the cottage, located on The Green. To the left of the beach is a dog friendly area, but the main area is no dogs allowed between May 1^st & September 30th. The beach is overlooked by the imposing Lllansteffan Castle. In the main car park there are public toilets, a café/small shop, Florries Fish’n’chips and ice cream.

The second beach called Scott’s Bay, is located behind the headland of the castle and is accessed by a path through Sticks woods or through the beach, when tide is permitting and is dog friendly all year round. Watch the tide though!!

Wow-factor views are part of Llansteffan’s appeal. This headland castle overlooking the green farmlands, swirling sea and gleaming sands of the Tywi Estuary and Carmarthen Bay, boasts one of the most stunning locations in Wales. That’s not to say that the stronghold itself is lacking in interest. Llansteffan, which controlled an important river crossing, occupies a site that has been defended since prehistoric times. Its rough stone walls, dating from the late 12th century, enclose an Iron Age promontory fort occupied in 600 BC. Although ruined, the castle retains its power to intimidate – especially when you approach its massive twin-towered gatehouse, built in around 1280 and still looming large.
