Overview
Property code: OC-B31136

Tucked away in a quiet spot in Bishopston just steps from two excellent, characterful pubs and a convenient local shop, you’ll find everything you need within a short stroll and surrounded by the coastal beauty of the Gower Peninsula, this homely apartment is ideal for a memory-making family break or adventurous getaway with friends. As the largest village on the Gower Peninsula, there is much to enjoy in the lively seaside village of Bishopston, from the hidden coves of Pwll Du and Brandy Cove (both within 1.5 miles) to the excellent local pubs rich in history and tradition. Situated along the sandy 5-mile stretch of Swansea Bay Beach, the vibrant city of Swansea (6 miles), offering breathtaking views of the Gower Peninsula, provides fantastic coastal walks and opportunities for water sports including windsurfing and sailing. The charming fishing village of Mumbles (3.5 miles) features a lively seafront that showcases the finest local produce the area has to offer, along with a quintessentially seaside Victorian Pier.

Through the front door and up a steep flight of stairs, follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the endlessly cosy lounge, featuring a characterful sloping ceiling and exposed beams that enhance the homely ambience. Boasting wonderfully rustic farmhouse decor reminiscent of days gone by, the light and airy kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home is a haven for creative minds, equipped with everything you need to whip up hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners. During the warmer months, throw open the patio doors to enjoy the evening breeze and easy indoor/outdoor living. There are three tranquil bedrooms available – one king-size with en-suite shower room and two doubles – that provide an oasis of calm to retreat to at the end of a busy day’s adventure. The contemporary family bathroom offers everything required to start a day’s adventure and wash off a long day of walking.

Accessed via the patio doors in the open-plan kitchen/diner, savour your morning coffee at sunrise or a glass of something chilled at sunset on the charming, decked balcony, offering the perfect spot to sit back and watch the world go by. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one car.

Ideal place to stay to tour around the Gower. Good that there is a couple of pubs a short walk away and a Co-op next door.

We had a very pleasant stay, and felt at home in this lovely light and spacious, yet warm and cosy apartment. It had everything we needed, including a big bath and comfy beds and pillows. The welcoming goodies were a real treat, and it was very reassuring to know that Rhiannon was at the end of the phone, to answer any queries. Having our own parkiRead moreng space at the back of the apartment was a big asset, and it was very handy having a small Coop practically next door, and 2 pubs, (one with live music) within a very short walking distance. The neighbouring village of Kittle, has a wonderful bakery, and there is also a small bakery at The Gower Heritage Centre. This is well worth a visit, especially for its interesting and informative mill tour, and its delicious own-pressed apple juice. Kittle is also the best place to start the scenic, but fairly challenging and quite long (90 mins plus ) walk through Bishopston Valley to Pwll Du beach. Bishopston makes an excellent base to explore The Gower, that certainly lives up to its accolade of being an area of outstanding natural beauty. We can highly recommend the adventurous walk across the rocky causeway from Rossili Bay to Worms Head. There are still many places that we havent been able to see and explore, so we will be back.

Lovely cottage, plenty of space and well equipped. We went to celebrate my mums 80th birthday, they loved it, really pleased with the main room with ensuite. Location was great for getting around the peninsula, very central and some nice pubs nearby. Information from Rhi was very helpful too.

The cottage was spacious, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. We especially liked the sensor lights that came on in the kitchen, hall and bathroom at night. Everything in the cottage that you could possibly need. Host very welcoming, checking we had everything we needed. Two very local pubs that do food and good beer, (but no food on a SRead moreunday evening!) and very handy to be almost next door to the little co-op - grateful to have a parking space for the flat as space is limited in Bishopston. Ideal location to explore the wonderful Gower peninsular with lots of walks and varied terrain. Really appreciated the milk, welsh cakes, coffee and flowers in the kitchen on arrival. Thank you Rhiannon! Hide
