Looking back at this little video it’s interesting to see how the channel has changed. I’m showing it again as a warning as it shows how easy it is to cut cut off on the sandbanks by a quickly incoming tide. Be careful out there folks

Why not come and try 😊

We still have next week Monday 12 till Friday 16th of August free.
Some people seem to believe that we are scammers as we no longer have our own website. Rest assured that we are not. If anyone is concerned then I am happy to wait for payment (cash on arrival) so that you can check the property out and meet me in person (to be sure that you are happy before you have to part with any money). I do, and always have requested a fully refundable £100 security deposit from first time guests. If you have any problem with that then I am sorry, but that is how we have always operated. We have had many guests who have returned year after year.
Blue Harbour has been a very succesful holiday let for the last 15 Summers. It’s so sad to think of it standing empty after all the wonderful holidays people have enjoyed there. Our usual guests tend to have been multi generational (Grandparents with their children and Grandchildren). We sleep 6 in three bedrooms and are now dog friendly. £150 per night is a bargain, heavily discounted price. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to take up the offer. Thank you 😊

As all of you lovely people who have stayed with us in the past already know we are a genuine holiday let. This is our 15th Summer of operating. I have just been made aware that there are many scammers operating at the moment. I want to assure anyone who has not already visited that you will not be disappointed by us. We are honest and have had many, many returning guests. Our own website has been taken down as we had hoped to retire this year and move into the property ourselves. Sadly our house sale fell through at the last moment, so Blue Harbour is still available as an holiday let. We are no longer with any letting agencies, but if you Google “Blue Harbour, Burry Port” you will find reference to us. Best of Wales gave us the Welsh name of Bwthyn y Traeth so you can search for that too.
I can fully understand anybody being concerned, but can assure you that there is nothing to be concerned about. We are legitimate and hopefully anyone booking will have a wonderful stay.
Thank you!
Kay

O P E N M I C N I G H T - Thursday 9th.

Every second Thursday of the Month for the past 3 yrs we've opened our little Lolfa space to welcome and celebrate the written word in the form of "Poems & Pints".
It's been a wonderful journey, showcasing Writers, Poets, Songwriters, Comedians and Storytellers of all abilities... Variety really has been the spice of life!

If you or someone you know are passionate about writing or just want to come and listen, then feel free to join us as we continue our lyrical journey!!

There's always food and local Crafts beers to keep us going throughout the night.

We kick off around 7pm,
If you would like to perform, drop us a line or just turn up.

No need to book, just come along...

Look forward to seeing you all...

Iechyd Da! 🍻

This is a very honest and relevant statement from an experienced holiday cottage owner.

“I have never during 40 years managed to get my 20 cottages averaging 182 days a year...”

Sadly this is probably our last year of operating as the Welsh Governments new rules regarding Furnished Holiday Lets means that it will not be financially viable for us to continue.
The good and the great (sarcasm) are obviously not thinking about the pubs, restaurants, cafes, petrol stations, supermarkets, tourist spots, holiday lettings agents, etc which will be severely impacted. Our guests who have just left commented in the visitors book that they had lunch every day (6 of them for a week) at Crazie Crepes Cafe
When tourists can no longer visit because there is nowhere to stay and local businesses are struggling, therefore paying less tax into the coffers then please remember that the pain is being self inflicted by those who supposedly know best!
In the meantime Carmarthenshire County Council allege they have no money and cannot repair potholes, yet they cut acres of beautiful flower filled verges and leave brown, litter strewn eyesores🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m sorry but I could just cry.
