Escape to this homely, two-bedroom cottage situated in a wonderful position overlooking the bay for a relaxing family-friendly break. For keen ramblers or those who just fancy a stroll, the Gower Coast Path offers a range of walks boasting seascapes, rugged cliffs and green hills within 0.5 miles. Relax on the sandy beach at Langland Bay, just a mile away, with its charming huts and fascinating rock pools. Take a trip to Swansea with its range of shops, restaurants and pubs, less than 5 miles away, and explore the National Waterfront Museum, the indoor market, and the historic castle. Surf, paraglide and relax on the spectacular 3-mile stretch of beautiful golden sands at Rhossili, or head to the Aberdulais Falls for stunning scenery, both within 16 miles. Further afield, enjoy some adrenaline-charged mountain biking and see spectacular waterfalls at the Afan Forest Park, 25 miles away.

Step into the lounge with its ornamental fireplace, where you can curl up on the window seat with a good book from the selection available, or enjoy your favourite movie. At the other end of this room, the dining area offers a cosy space for sharing delicious meals or a fun-filled evening of games. Head through to the kitchen where you’ll find the back door leading outside. Climb the stairs to find the elegant master bedroom with a king-size four-poster bed, the second pretty twin room, and the beautiful bathroom.

Head outside to the convenient utility room, where the washing machine is located. Soak up the evening sun with a glass of something chilled in either of the two lovely seating areas in the terraced rear garden, and relish the wonderful views across the bay from here.

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage with great views of the bay. More spacious than we expected from the photos, both downstairs and upstairs. Master bedroom also has the epic view and the second makes for a cosy childrens bedroom. Friendly neighbours and easy access* to shops and local attractions, beaches etc. *Yes as per other reviews theRead more road up to the cottage is steep and narrow and parking outside the cottage more easily undertaken with a compact car.

A delightful, old cottage, and ticked all the boxes apart from the location. The description should mention the very steep approach and parking, although free, would not be suitable for a large car. Although the beach and shops are close by, its a challenging walk back up to the cottage.

A beautiful location and the area is gorgeous! So much to do surrounding the property. Having its own parking space is also really handy. This cottage is not suitable for those with young children or any mobility struggles. The stairs inside are steep and very slippy in a sock or bare feet meaning footwear needs to be worn at all times. Carrying Read moreour baby up and down the stairs was quite hairy! We couldnt enjoy the balcony pictured as it is also very steep up at the back of the garden. Well equipped and a nice sized space but cleanliness was poor but hopefully will be addressed for future stays! Hide
