The luxurious lodge that helps dreams come true
26/06/2025
Dreams and Wishes has opened the doors to a luxurious lodge, a haven for the families we support.
The lodge is nestled in the scenic town of Laugharne in west Wales, in the luxurious Dylan Costal Resort, and is the perfect combination of comfort and accessibility.
This life-changing lodge was made possible by a generous legacy donation.
The donation was given in memory of a supporter who wished to help a charity which shared their values. Dreams and Wishes embodies the values of this supporter
through their generosity and true selflessness.
Their legacy now lives on through the lodge, which offers the opportunity of joy to the families who stay there.
Dreams and Wishes have thought of everything to make this the luxurious break these families deserve. They have built the lodge with accessibility in mind. The
lodge is completely wheelchair friendly, equipped with ramps and a wet room.
It also sleeps six people comfortably, enough room for the whole family.
Whilst staying at the lodge, Dylan Coastal Resort offers families 35% off at their Milk Wood Spa and Bar. Not to mention that there is a concierge lift service all around the
resort.
Sat a mere 30-minute drive from both Tenby and Folly Farm, the lodge is perfectly positioned for families. The lodge is also strategically positioned near
Carmarthen Hospital, to offer the families peace of mind, in care of emergencies.
Dreams and Wishes said: “We explored numerous lodges in West Wales, but Dylan Coastal Resort truly stood out. The resort team have been fantastic from day one.
The facilities offer the ‘wow factor’ we wanted our families to experience. We wanted to give them something extraordinary and this lodge delivers just that.”
The families which Dreams and Wishes aim to help, face tragedy and heartbreak all too often, the lodge aims to give them the chance for normality, a break away from
their day-to-day battles.
Hope and her family got to experience new activities whilst visiting the lodge, they said: “Thank you for our stay at the lodge, it was beautiful!
The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves—we even went crab fishing, which they loved! It was such a lovely, relaxing break. What a beautiful place it is.”
Rhys and his family recently stayed at the lodge, this gave his family the opportunity for some much-needed rest and time to bond. Rhy’s family said: “Thank you so
much for such a lovely time. The lodge is beautiful and the views fantastic. It’s been such a relaxing break away, being able to just spend time together without too many
worries! Exactly what we needed. Thank you.”
Families from all over Wales are set to take over the Carmarthenshire coastline as, unsurprisingly, the lodge is fully booked until September 2025.
Dreams and Wishes Charity is a Welsh, volunteer-led organisation that aims to grant the wishes of children who have life-threatening illnesses, providing them and their
families with unforgettable experiences.
They are unfunded by the Government and do not have any paid members of staff, every single penny they raise directly goes towards the families in need.
The lodge is not the only way in which Dreams and Wishes offer help, they also grant wishes like providing an iPhone for entertainment during gruelling treatment
sessions, giving pain supplies to aspiring artists, like Bethan, not to mention helping Oliver by giving him a laptop so he can keep up with his schoolwork.
Donating is just one of the ways in which we can help Dreams and Wishes Charity to grant the wishes of families who are going through unimaginable torment.
