This charming two-storey family home in the beautiful hamlet of Cwm Ivy is the ideal location for a peaceful and relaxing holiday for a family or group of friends, just a short drive from the coast and local attractions. It's less than a mile's walk through pine woods, dunes and marshes to sandy Whiteford Beach, where you can see Britain's last remaining cast-iron lighthouse. Set within the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering access to beaches for water sports, surfing and coastal walks. The National Trust's Rhossili and South Gower Coast (10 miles) is a haven for rambles or coastal and woodland walks for all the family. Alternatively, head north and spend a day at Llanelli Wetland Centre (16 miles).

There is a traditional kitchen with stone walls and exposed beams, equipped with everything you need, as well as a utility room. The dining room houses a wooden Welsh dresser and plenty of seating. A sliding glass door that runs the length of the room offers views of Cwm Ivy Marsh and Whiteford National Nature Reserve. As you enter the living room via three stone steps from the dining area, your eye is immediately drawn to the beautiful open fireplace. The room also has comfortable sofas, an armchair, a TV and views of the marsh and nature reserve. A cosy book-lined study, with exposed stone walls, a TV and seating, provides a second space to relax. Upstairs, three steps lead down to a bathroom, an additional shower room and five bedrooms - two doubles (one with an en-suite), a super-king-size, a single and a children's bunk room for two, with a TV and DVD player.

Outside, there is a terrace with a table and benches, accessible from the dining room. Steps lead down to a lower terrace with a dining table and chairs, and there's a lawned area leading to a wood and a pergola. A second lawned area is at the rear of the house.

Only didnt give full marks for comfort is that although the house is absolutely lovely the mattress in the study bedroom wasnt very comfortable or the zip link ones in the twin/ double room. The other 2 double and bunk beds were absolutely fine.

The property was in an excellent location for exploring the Gower peninsula. Walking out straight from the property to some of the coastal walks without having to get in the car and drive enhanced our experience. It was a good size and had a very socialable feel about it which made it a comfortable and enjoyable stay for us with our friends. My onlRead morey less than positive comments would be some of the furnishings were a 'little tired' and it could do with a little more cleaning. These items didn't detract from our enjoyment but thought you would like to know. Hide
