Former home of the poet Dylan Thomas. Beautiful Georgian dolls house with epic views of the estuary.

The space
Enjoy attentive hospitality at the former family home of beloved Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas in Laugharne on the Carmarthenshire coast. The charming boutique style en suite bedrooms each with a view across the estuary are available throughout the year and offer a fantastic short-break location in a quiet spot with views of the nearby castle estuary and countryside. Following an extensive restoration project Seaview provides a unique destination both in quality and historic provenance.

Dylan Thomas lived in 3 locations around Laugharne and moved to Sea View, with Caitlin, who was pregnant at the time, in 1938, and is quoted in saying that the 2 years they spent there was ‘the happiest period of our lives together’. Here they entertained a host of personalities including the writer TS Elliott and the painter Augustus John who memorably described it as a 'doll's house'.

You will find Seaview welcoming, comfortable and restful.

We offer a continental breakfast but we can prepare a cooked welsh breakfast for an extra cost. We can and will cater for all tastes, please let us know what your preferences are on point of booking and we will endeavor to meet your requirements. Breakfast is served in the elegant dining room which is adjacent to a restful reading/sitting room to which the guests have access.

Seaview is there to help you unwind. We have wifi throughout the building but we encourage you to switch off your phones and leave behind the outside world!

The accommodation is decorated and fitted to a standard to make your stay as comfortable as possible whilst retaining the character of this important building.
Looking forward to facilitating your welsh adventure X
