Read all about it: Luxury Lodges in the press
Whether you visit our resorts in Cornwall, South Wales or the Lakes, there’s plenty to see and do, and we’re certainly not the only ones who think so. Recently, we’ve been making waves with our newly-renovated Dylan Coastal Resort, and word seems to be spreading. Read on to find out why Carmarthenshire is one of the best staycation destinations in the UK, and why people are so excited about our Residences.
The resort
Perched in a prime location overlooking the Taf Estuary, Dylan Coastal Resort boasts breathtaking views across the South Wales coastline – and the views really do seem to have made an impression. As The Independent said, “The striking property sits grandly on the hillside, and is the perfect place to relax with a cup of Welsh brew and locally baked Tregroes waffle.” And where better to relax than in the state-of-the-art Milk Wood House, complete with spa, gym, and infinity pool? As for the lodges themselves, you’ll find private terraces, hot tubs, and room for the whole family.

The location
With Carmarthenshire, Tenby and Pembrokeshire right on our doorstep, you’ll never be short of adventures. From ancient castles and country houses to theme parks and botanical gardens, South Wales really does have it all. Or, if you’re in search of a spot of relaxation, Wales Online certainly doesn’t think it gets much more tranquil than Laugharne: “One thing’s for sure though, it’s certainly charming, with a laid-back, out-of-time feel it’s the perfect place to go to get away from it all.”

Local legends
When we launched our Residences at the end of last year, we had a feeling that they’d be a hit, and boy were we right. They’ve been so popular that we’ve even launched a second collection of holiday homes at Burn Coastal Retreat in Cornwall, and one person who loves spending time with us is our brand ambassador, Alun Wyn Jones. The Wales rugby legend was one of the first owners of our luxury second homes, which he visits regularly with his wife, Anwen, and two young daughters. When asked about his time at Dylan Coastal Resort, he said, “As a dad you want to give your family as much of your time as you can, but I can be away a lot with rugby, during competition matches or training camps. I go home to rest, and it’s nice to be able to do that somewhere different.”

Famous faces
Our Residences brand ambassador isn’t the only person you might recognise when you visit us. Thanks to our secluded location and private lodges, Dylan Coastal Resort is the perfect place for a quiet getaway – even for people who spend their lives on camera. From social media stars to popular presenters, we’ve welcomed plenty of people hoping to escape from it all. The One Show’s Alex Jones was our most recent visitor. She stopped by for a romantic staycation with her husband ahead of the arrival of their third baby.
