Patricia Causer
Ponderosa is fabulous. Everything you can think of is catered for. So much equipment. Spare everything, bedding/towels, plenty of crockery and cutlery, cooking equipment plentiful. That's the boring stuff.... The accommodation is perfect. Right on the beach, plenty of garden space (not enclosed), little deck to sit and chill/eat. The views are outstanding. So nice to watch the tides, nature and the trains across the estuary. Would thoroughly recommend the ponderosa to everyone with dogs and kids alike. Couples will love the peace and quiet. The village is a 15 minute (slow) walk along the beach or a 2 minute drive. There is a village shop, an honesty box with cakes/sausage rolls etc. and a couple of pubs. Spar is a 10 minute drive and Carmarthen is about 20 mins. Hope this helps anyone to decide on this accommodation. We can't wait to go back . Thankyou Gareth for all your help .

Fantastic location, quiet and easy access to beach from accommodation. Local village had fab fish n chips at beach and a really good restaurant with other pubs and a shop. Everything needed for a relaxing week. Lots of crockery and all mod cons available. Smaller saucepan options might be nice and a long handled sweeping brush, but everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Had a fab week. Instructions for getting DVD player connected to tv would be helpful.
