Seasons Holidays at Laugharne is the perfect location to experience peace and tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of everyday modern life.

Laugharne boasts some of the most picturesque views of the sweeping River Taf estuary, over part of the glorious bay of Carmarthen and all the way down to the North Devon coast.

Beneath you are the green, shaded glades of MilkWood – made famous in the famous works of one of Wales' most remarkable sons, Dylan Thomas.

"And some, like myself, just came, one day, for the day, and never left; got off the bus, and forgot to get on again."
(Dylan Thomas on Laugharne, taken from Quite Early One Morning).

Many know Laugharne for being the home to Dylan Thomas in the later part of his life. Originally from Swansea he moved to Laugharne in 1938 where he wrote many of his best works. The Boathouse, Dylan’s main home in Laugharne is now a museum dedicated to his life and works.
