The cottage is situated in the heart of Llansteffan, just off the main square which boasts 2 public houses, the local Post Office and the beautiful Llansteffan Church. The property is a single storey cottage and consists of 3 bedrooms (2 double and 1 single), lounge, dining room, bathroom, galley kitchen and annex. Parking is available directly outside the cottage or alongside the church wall.

Guests can be assured of a warm welcome from the local owners who live nearby who are at hand should you have any queries during your stay. In addition, the cottage offers you the convenience, privacy, independence and freedom to enjoy your well-deserved break in comfort.

The cosy lounge provides the perfect resting-place after exploring the village, spending the day on the beach or visiting one of the many local attractions.

It is comfortably furnished with relaxing 3 piece suite, colour TV with Freeview and DVD player, piano and items of occasional furniture.

A good selection of books, films and board games are available, should you need them.

The dining room offers a spacious area for gastronomic entertaining or just good, homely, family eating.

It is suitably furnished with a good-sized dining table with six chairs, a dresser containing all manner of crockery, a seating area, TV with Freeview and other items of occasional furniture. A high-chair is available on request.

Why not gather around the table for a hearty breakfast of locally-sourced ham, eggs and sausage. Or try some locally-made jams or preserves on your toast in the mornings.

The galley-style kitchen comes complete with light beech-style units, electric cooker, microwave oven, kettle and toaster. The annex just off the kitchen houses the automatic washing machine and fridge freezer. Although compact, it offers ample space to prepare the locally grown produce fresh from the market.

Most foods can be purchased in the village shop, 'The Stores', or at the local butcher 'Richardson's'. At Carmarthen, our nearest main town, you can find 5 supermarkets of varying size, a number of independent fruiterers and grocers, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a vibrant provisions market where you can stock up on good quality produce.

What better way to relax after a day's walking along the coastal footpaths of Llansteffan than a long, hot soak in a bubble-rich bath?

The bathroom at Orllwyn contains a white suite of bath with overhead electric shower, pedestal hand basin and toilet.

Fresh towels are provided, although we do ask that you bring your own beach towels. Hot water (as well as other utilities such as electricity and heating) is also provided free of charge.

Restful sleep is a must if you want to take full advantage of the beautiful area and at Orllwyn there are 3 spacious bedrooms that can comfortably sleep up to 5 people. In addition, a cot is also available and can be provided on request.

This spacious double bedroom has been tastefully furnished and contains a double bed with headboard, double wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside table. There is a table lamp by the bed to read by of an evening.

This room boasts a fine view of the beautiful 12th century Llansteffan Church, dedicated to the Welsh saint 'Sant Ystyffan', who first founded a church at Llansteffan in the 6th century.

This double bedroom is very spacious and contains fitted wardrobes and closet space, antique dressing table with drawer space and mirror, and a bedside table with lamp.

The single bedroom is ideal for a child or younger member of a family, but is still well-proportioned and roomy. It also overlooks Llansteffan Church.

This room contains single bed with headboard, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside table with lamp. All linen and bedding is included in the price of your stay - there are no hidden charges at Orllwyn.

The postcard, left, depicts Church Street in the 1920's. Orllwyn can be seen on right, just above the group of people sitting on the bench by the church wall. The castle can also be seen - it sits on the horizon where the road disappears from view.

The cottage was once the village Post Office and shop and would have served locals with their mail and sundry goods throughout the year.

Many a holiday-maker would have frequented the 'cottage' to buy their stamps and scenic postcards of the village in order to send holiday greetings to family and friends back home. Now, eighty years on, Orllwyn provides a different service for visitors to Llansteffan but, no doubt, people will still be sending home messages of 'wish you were here...'
