Discover the Gower Peninsula and the Mumbles from this four-bedroom cottage in Norton. Park, woodlands, community gardens and the seafront can all be reached within 0.5 miles, as can the village centre, with its array of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. Mumbles Beach boasts sheltered sands and rockpools, making it a lovely spot for children to enjoy this pocket of the Welsh coastline, plus you can easily drive to Langland Bay’s popular surfing beach (just over a mile) or the gorgeous Caswell Bay Beach (2 miles), on the edge of the Gower AONB. Those seeking larger-scale amenities can take a trip 4 miles north, where Swansea offers afternoon teas at Dylan Thomas’ birthplace, shopping at a huge indoor market and interactive exhibits at the National Waterfront Museum.

The open-plan living space has a lounge area with an L-shaped sofa and a stunning spiral staircase leading to the first-floor terrace. Opposite the staircase is an oak dining table with seating for six, and, at the front of the room, is a bright kitchen with an island, providing ample space to prepare hearty family meals. An additional lounge room enables guests to spread out and engage in different activities simultaneously, ensuring everyone gets to do what they want. A master double bedroom with an en-suite shower room enjoys direct access to the terrace, as does a single bedroom. Also on this level is the downstairs WC. The first floor accommodates a further double and a single bedroom and a family bathroom.

A front patio, enclosed by hedges and fencing and leading to the entrance, is accessed by climbing four steps. Glass doors from the lounge lead to the rear patio and lawn, enclosed by fencing, with garden furniture. The cottage also benefits from a first-floor terrace with rattan furniture and far-reaching sea views.

Excellent cottage to rent. Very clean. Kitchen very well equipped and lovely bedrooms with great view over the bay. Very close to shops, prom, restaurants and the castle. Parking a bit of a struggle at times as double yellow lines outside house, but was aware of this at the time of renting. 3 quite steep steps up to front door off road, so this couRead moreld be a struggle for some.

Worthy of a visit. A lovely extended and decorated property situated near the beach at Mumbles and a perfect base for touring the Gower peninsula. If there is one downside it will be the parking of cars which unfortunately the owner can do nothing about, however perseverance always wins in the end.
