Just returned from a week here with my husband 2 children (17 and 11) and my parents in their 70s. Fantastic location couldn’t have found a better base for what we did. We visited Mumbles, Rhossili bay, Port Eynon, Whiteford Sands and Three Cliffs Bay. House had everything we needed for our stay we also cooked all but 1 evening for all of us plenty of pots we didn’t get chance to use the BBQ and hot tub but it was all there a long with the log burner. It was clean and comfortable. We will be returning. We also met the host who was lovely.

We had a great week in late May, blessed with fantastic weather. The accommodation is excellent, spacious and well equipped. The owners are on site and helpful, friendly and responsive. The property is in a lovely quiet location along a country lane. It’s 20-30 mins drive to the beautiful beaches and coastal walks. Amazing unspoilt beaches in abundance. We would highly recommend this place for a base to explore the Gower.
