Property code: OC-HH1210

This property has a fantastic location next to the promenade in Mumbles, a pretty seaside town just 5 miles south of Swansea that marks the beginning of the Gower Peninsula coastline. Attractions include the 18th-century lighthouse on Mumbles Head and the 12th-century Oystermouth Castle, set on a small hill with magnificent views over Swansea Bay. Those after retail therapy will find a range of boutiques and high-end shops in town, there are restaurants and pubs aplenty and the Lovespoon Gallery is well worth a visit to see fine examples of the carved wooden spoons traditional to Wales. Langland Bay (3 miles) has a sheltered beach popular with families and water sports enthusiasts, and you can walk the coastal path to the neighbouring beaches of Rotherslade, Limeslade and Caswell.

The cottage is accessed via 15 stone steps to the front door. The cosy living area includes books and games along with a TV and a little dining table for two. The kitchen has all you need to cater for yourselves and there’s a convenient cloakroom with WC. The bedroom is accessed up a steep cottage-style staircase and has a double bed and built-in wardrobe, and a bathroom with a bath and shower cubicle.

The property has a small terrace leading off the kitchen with garden furniture and a partial sea view.

The cottage is an absolute gem. Spotlessly clean with everything you need to enjoy the experience. Beautiful quality linen, quilts and feather pillows . Brilliant power shower with an endless supply of hot water. Comfortable sofa and chair to relax in evening. So convenient for amenities but so peaceful you felt that you were in a little cocoon !

A lovely cosy cheerful little cottage decorated with care and attention. Very clean. We were pleasantly suprised how quiet it was at night given its location. The owner was excellent at communicating, friendly and helpful messages. Obviously they really care about the place and guests. Mumbles and the Gower are fabulous!

Beautiful little cottage in Mumbles, close to all the local amenities and the fantastic scenery of the Gower. Small but ideal for a couple, very well presented and equipped. Excellent outdoor terrace for when the weather is good. There is a great selection of cafes, bars and restaurants nearby to cater for all tastes and budgets. The host was extrRead moreemely helpful and did everything possible to make sure we had a good break. Two things to be aware of - parking can be difficult in Mumbles at busy times and access to the cottage is not ideal for the less mobile as it is up several steps. Hide
