Property code: OC-HH101

The spacious family home on the Gower Peninsula sleeps eight guests and is the perfect bolthole for family reunions and holidays with friends. The property’s piece de resistance is its extensive grounds, offering ample areas for outdoor entertaining. The sandy beach of Port Eynon Bay is just 0.5 miles away, and you’ll also be within 5 miles of the much-loved Rhossili Bay.

The cottage has been tastefully renovated and combines stylish furniture and accessories with characterful original features. The cosy lounge has a striking, beamed ceiling and a roaring wood burner set inside an original fireplace. Spend your evenings on the comfortable sofas, reading a book from the collection provided or watching a film on the TV/DVD. The formal dining room also boasts a wood burner, as well as a feature stone wall and a large table to seat everyone. Completing the ground floor is a kitchen, shower room, and utility room. The five bedrooms are located upstairs and are all decorated in calming tones. Rounding off this exquisite holiday home is a sleek family bathroom. Outside, extensive gardens to the front and rear are awaiting your exploration. Come together for family BBQs on the patio, share picnics on the lawns, or wildlife watch from the summerhouse.

Port Eynon Bay has a sweeping, sandy beach and is one of Gower’s surfing hotspots. After a day at the beach, head into the village, where you’ll find several eateries, including a seafood restaurant and fish and chip shop. There are some breathtaking walks in the area: The stretch of the Wales Coast Path that leads to Rhossili Bay is one of the most wild and rugged of the whole coast path. There are also some less strenuous paths that take you around the dramatic headland of Port Eynon Point.

3 generations loved our stay at the Lilac House,it's big enough,well equipped, large walk in shower. It's a stroll across the fields to the beautiful beach (probably the most perfect beach for young children) and even in the summer holidays,not crowded,but has shops, toilets etc. There are not a lot of attractions as such but beautiful walks and viRead moreews. The Gower has all the charm of Cornwall without the crowds, we are already discussing our return. Hide

I loved staying here for the week with my family of 8, it was very welcoming and homely, lots of room for us all and the dog loved the big garden. A very short walk to the beaches, chippy and pub. The location was spot on, quiet, secluded, no light pollution at night for star gazing. I will definitely stay again.
