Well positioned for Swansea and the Gower, Mumbles has many eating places Ice cream from Fortes at bottom of hill and Lighthouse a little further away both good. Coastal walk is accessible just after Fortes ice cream.

A very nice place to stay.Well equipped and furnished. Wonderful to be able to walk out of Westcliff Mews turn left and go up onto the path to Rotherslade and Langland. Gower has a wide range of lovely walks but visitors to Granny Shells should also take in the nearby climb to the top of Mumbles Hill to see the view of Swansea Bay and see the WW2 Read moreantiaircraft gun battery.

Delightful bungalow, so relaxing, comfortable and welcoming. Lovely to sit looking over the countryside towards the sea. Our dog enjoyed pottering round the garden which was safely enclosed. The homemade muffins were so nice, not forgetting the doggie treats for our Bonnie! Hope to return soon.

This was a great little property and perfect for a break for my husband and I. The property is comfortable and well equipped and we would certainly return. The only downside was the bathroom was too cold (it was January), which was such a pity as the rest of the property was lovely and cosy.
