Access to the house and tearoom are down 40 steps to the house and 10 steps to the tearoom and patio area (which might prove challenging to those with mobility issues) where refreshments will be served . There is no wheelchair access or disabled toilet.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Dylan Thomas Boathouse as safely as possible.
Even if the poet, writer and broadcaster Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) hadn’t lived at the Boathouse in Laugharne for the last four years of his tragically short life, it is a truly remarkable place to visit.
The Boathouse terrace offers wonderful views of the Taf estuary and the Gower beyond. The Boathouse tearoom with its locally sourced, home-cooked menu provides a welcome respite for walkers tackling the newly launched Wales Coast Path.
It was Dylan Thomas, however, who made the Boathouse iconic. It is the building most closely associated with him and the stability of a permanent home meant he enjoyed a creative renaissance. He worked in the Writing Shed above the Boathouse with its remarkable and inspiring views of three estuaries.
