Nestled in a beautiful rural position yet within 5 miles of vibrant Swansea, this picturesque cottage sleeps four and is an ideal choice for families and small groups. A paradise for walkers, you’ll have lots of choice when it comes to exploring as there’s a plethora of cliff-top walks and countryside ambles to discover. After a busy day, there’s nothing quite like sipping an ice-cold drink in your enclosed, shared garden before tucking into a delicious BBQ feast.

Beneath the stone and wood exterior is a comfortable and welcoming retreat that’s been thoughtfully equipped with comfy sofas for relaxing, and handy cooking and dining space for mealtimes. The views through the patio doors are impressive and stepping outside and beyond the garden reveals over 26 acres of fields and farmland to investigate. Weary from your day, the two bedrooms are a peaceful retreat for a restful night’s sleep, and there is also a generous family shower room.

A hub of history, culture and food, Swansea has plenty to offer guests of all tastes whether you are tempted by the hustle and bustle of the marina or prefer a quiet stroll around a museum. The coastline surrounding Swansea is known for its pristine beaches and family-friendly allure, so you’ll be able to embrace a traditional day beside the seaside at Mumbles 6 miles away. The romantic Rhossili Bay and impressive Worm’s Head will appeal to adventure seekers, as will the rugged countryside of the Gower Peninsular as a whole.

A clean & tidy cottage in a quiet location. Well positioned for exploring the Gower peninsula and beyond. Lovely views from the cottage of horses, fields and woodland with lots of wild bird song at dawn. Ruth & Ian the friendly and helpful owners live on site and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Very clean barn conversion, very friendly owners next door. Lovely views across the countryside from the lounge window. It is a well insulated, warm cottage, unfortunately there are no views from the upstairs rooms, only skylights. There is off road parking. The drive is quite steep.

We enjoyed two weeks staying in this lovely cottage. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped in very quiet, peaceful surroundings. We were able to completely relax. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and on hand to answer any questions we might have. We have stayed in many holiday rentals in past years some in The Gower but Ivy Cottage Read moreis definitely the best. Hide

I've visited this cottage a few times now. It's got beautiful views out the back, it's always warm, the bedding is always clean and so are the towels. Couches are comfy, the shower has good pressure, and there's always hot water. I would always recommend this place.

Exceptionally well-designed accommodation, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very quiet - ideal for a couple of friends as well for as a family. The horses in the adjacent field are a source of entertainment! A great location for exploring the Gower beaches, Caswell Bay and Oxwich are easily accessed from car-parks, the cliff top at RhossiliRead more is a great walk though the path to the beach is very steep indeed. Swansea and its museums are handy for wet days, especially the Waterfront one. Hide

Great holiday house. Loved the location - at the gateway to the Gower but also close to the Mumbles. There is a cycle path 500 metres from the cottage that gives you a 5k route straight to Blackpill lido and the beach. Everything in the cottage was perfect. Great layout and all the equipment you need. The horses at the bottom of the garden were a lRead moreovely bonus. Hide
