Just a couple of miles from a beautiful sandy beach, this warm and cosy first-floor apartment makes a fantastic holiday home for families or couples exploring this idyllic part of the Gower Peninsula. Providing refreshing and spacious holiday accommodation for five, the apartment has been charmingly and quirkily decorated, with original features including exposed wood beams, a warming wood burner and a handy private terrace. Set in a picturesque South Wales village, the property is ideal for visiting Mumbles and Swansea, and discovering miles of stunning coastlines.

Well equipped small apartment, handy location to access the Gower and the convenience of being next to a coop. Very steep internal stairs up to the apartment so not ideal for poor mobility or young children but there is a makeshift stair gate at the top of the stairs

Reviewed by Elaine 19th April 2024

Lovely cozy apartment with a well equipped kitchen and spacious living room. We presumed the en-suite would have a toilet but it was in fact a shower and a sink, so if that is not a concern to you then wed definitely recommend this place to say. Great walks for the dog, a couple of pubs and a Co-op close by for anything you run short of.

Good location with 2 pubs and a co-op within less than a minute walk. Quiet area apart from the flat below who knocks the walls with the slightest of noise. The stairs are about the steepest I've seen so if you struggle with stairs this cottage would not be suitable. Kitchen table suitable for 4 although property advertised for six

Lovely clean flat , good dcor, 3 decent sized bedrooms and all equipment we needed in the kitchen. Good location.Great having a parking space allocated and the coop next door. Recommend the Joiners arms for food just up the road. We walked from the flat to the coastal paths , but would be a bit of trek with small children.

Lovely place. Balcony really useful for a first floor flat, many a morning cuppa enjoyed in the sun. Iron and ironing board plus hairdryer helpful. Games, DVDs and a Wii - kept children entertained of an evening. Leaflets listing nearby places, restaurants and takeaways. Would definitely go back.

We used the cottage as a base for exploring the Gower. The kitchen was well stocked and the apartment has a spacious feel. The outside space is in a noisy coop yet we were shushed when we arrived and told to shut the door at conversation level noise at about half past 9. Having one toilet for everyone to share did make the mornings a slight challenRead morege at times but otherwise everything was fine. Hide
