Golf in and around the hotel area:

For golfers, Wales is a voyage of discovery. It is a country so perfectly designed for the game, it's as if the forces of nature conspired to make it this way. There are some 200 courses set amidst the most spectacular scenery. With inspirational links, parkland courses in mountain settings, championship courses in the shadow of mighty medieval castles and luxuriously modern golfing resorts, Wales really is a golfer's paradise.

Ferryside grew from the now non-operational ferry crossing on the river Tywi, on the ancient pilgrims route to St David's Cathedral. It is uncommercialised, peaceful and quiet; the ideal getaway for a perfect weekend (or longer) break. It is also, due to its' proximity to Carmarthen, Llanelli and other centres, an ideal corporate meeting place.
