About Llysmeurig

Llysmeurig is a detached period house in a quiet cul-de-sac in the village of Pwll Trap, St Clears. Built in the 1930’s by our grandparents as their family home, the house has many of its original features, which sit alongside modern-day comfort and convenience.

Llysmeurig has a large enclosed garden, and, for photography enthusiasts, has a darkroom in one of its outbuildings.

There is a local pub within easy walking distance and the centre of St Clears – with its pubs, shops, local bakery and takeaways, including an award winning butchers and deli – is about half a mile away.

St Clears has easy access to the M4 via the A40 and is just over an hour from Cardiff.

From Llysmeurig you have easy access to all the attractions and activities that pack Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. These include stunning beaches, theme parks, wildlife and animal parks, castles, gardens and the world famous Wales Coast Path. You can find out more about what the area has to offer here.

Llysmeurig is four miles from Cefnmeurig farmhouse and about 18 miles from Porthmeurig apartment, so ideal if you’d like to book more than one property for a group holiday or family reunion.

If you’d like to make the most of Llysmeurig’s darkroom while you’re on holiday, why not treat yourself to a short photography course.

You can also use the family history research centre at Cefnmeurig to research your Welsh family history.

The house

Llysmeurig is traditionally decorated and furnished, with black and white photographs throughout that tell its story. This vintage atmosphere allows you to experience how people lived at an earlier time while still enjoying all the comforts and luxuries of a five-star holiday home.

BEDROOMS: All four bedrooms are upstairs and have their original fireplaces. Two of them also have their original lino flooring, which is rare and very pretty. There is a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a double room with twin beds, a single bedroom with a double bed and a single bedroom.

BATHROOMS: Upstairs is a bathroom with the original roll-top bath and a stylish black and white shower room. There is also a WC downstairs.

SITTING ROOM: The sitting room has a parquet floor, open fire, antique furniture, a TV, a DVD player and a CD player.

KITCHEN: The kitchen is fully equipped but enjoys a unique 1940’s feel. It has its original tiled floor, a pine table and traditional range cooker (as well as a modern electric cooker).

UTILITY ROOM: Off the kitchen there is a large utility room with a washing machine and drying equipment.

DINING ROOM: The Art Deco style dining room has double glass doors into the kitchen and the original tiled fireplace and parquet floor. The dining table seats 6 comfortably.

GARDEN: There is a large enclosed garden to the front and back of the house and a courtyard with patio furniture. There is plenty of room to play as well as a greenhouse, vegetable patch and newly planted orchard. The garden is for the most part productive and in season you’re welcome to pick the produce. Although you can’t see the A40 from either the house or the garden, you can sometimes hear background traffic noise in the back garden.

DARKROOM: There is a photographic darkroom in one of the outbuildings you’re welcome to use if you’re an experienced darkroom developer. For beginners and the less experienced we offer short photography courses.
