Overview
Property code: OC-HH193

Enjoying spectacular panoramic views over Langland Bay and direct access to the surrounding coastal path and sandy shoreline from the garden, this lovingly furnished home-from-home is the ultimate coastal getaway, perfectly placed to explore everything the Gower Peninsula has to offer.

Boasting superb sea views over Langland Bay, your wonderful coastal surroundings never feel far away in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room, adorned with a colour palette that perfectly mirrors the surrounding sandy shoreline. Rustle up a locally sourced feast in the rustic kitchen and enjoy special family time seated around the farmhouse-style dining table. Before the sun sets, relax on the comfy sofas perfectly placed to maximise the glorious sea views of the bay from the patio doors. As day turns to night, retire to either of the bedrooms which both feature breathtaking coastal views and a soothing colour palette of cool tones. Soak up your tranquil surroundings by dining alfresco on the spectacular sun terrace with some magnificent far-reaching sea views as your backdrop. Steps down from the terrace lead into an expansive shared lawn with direct access to the beach and coastal path.

The sheltered bay of Langland is one of Gower’s finest surfing hot spots, boasting a Blue Flag awarded beach (less than 0.5 miles) fringed by iconic beach huts and the perfect conditions for a variety of water sports. Branching out from the beach, join the coastal path to reach the neighbouring beaches of Rotherslade, Limeslade and Caswell (2 miles), which offers breathtaking views of the coastline and the occasional grey seal basking on the rocks along your journey. Take a walk through history at the charming village of Mumbles just less than a mile away, offering a quintessentially seaside Victorian Pier, a seafront packed with cafes and restaurants, and some magnificent views overlooking Swansea Bay.

A beautifully appointed, nicely furnished cottage with simply spectacular views of Langland Bay beach. Modern, clean, comfortable, well-equipped and very comfortable indeed for four people. Well certainly be back, thank you!

The apartment was really lovely and had everything we could possibly want and more. It was spotless when we arrived and felt really welcoming. We were there through 3 very bad storms and enjoyed the sea view safely from apartment. We thoroughly recommend it.

Great location, great patio.Did seem very open to neighbours but they were very quiet. Some crockery was not clean. Had to re-wash. Very poor instructions on removal of rubbish. sure what to leave where ( we were not prepared to go the tip as requested in the book). The Swansea guide in the book was several years old so had to check website. EvRead moreen so, left pink bag out (next to one that looked like it had been there for a while, and neither were collected. Then, no spare food waste bags or black bag in the property- meant we used a pink bag in the main waste bin and so left in the apartment- Felt we had no choice. Bed in front bedroom very squeaky, had to relocate to the room at the back with the better bed but no sea view. That was very very disappointing . Cooker was very complicated and the note left by a previous visitor in the book which informed us it takes 2+hours for the cooker to warm up enough to cook pizza was very very useful. Style of house a bit mixed up, modern and contemporary but then parts very old fashioned. Did wonder if mid renovation as could see nails in the architrave on front ensuite bathroom. The garden hedging on the left as you look out was very high, felt the view would have really been opened up if that was cut down a few feet. Overall, however, a great week in Gower and the location makes up for a lot. Hide

This apartment enjoys a fantastic location and has many excellent features but also some that disappoint. The spacious terrace and garden have an incredible view while the back gate leads straight out onto the well-maintained coastal path, with stupendous walks in both directions. The living room, bedroom 1 and en-suite 1 are all excellent. The samRead moree cannot be said of bedroom 2. It has a damp, musty smell and the bed is squeezed in. It has no carpet, no dressing table nor shelf for bits-and-pieces and no mirror. Its ensuite likewise has no shelf to put anything down on (just an above-basin bathroom cabinet), no towel rail or equivalent, no toilet roll holder and no fittings for bits-and-pieces in the shower. What is there is of good quality but theres too much missing in bedroom and en-suite 2 for an adult or couple to spend a week in it comfortably. The kitchen is well-equipped but appalling badly lit just tiny downlighters over the table and an over-hob lamp. In the evening the washing-up/microwave area is in virtual darkness. Cutlery, crockery and gadgets are plentiful and well-chosen and fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing-machine are all excellent. However, the choice for a holiday let of an AGA-style Everhot cooker with its 130-page manual is surprising to say the least. We mastered it after a while. Recycling and rubbish instructions are difficult to comply with but a helpful person at the Original Cottages office sorted out one of the problems for us. The utility room is a good feature. Whether one or two bedrooms will be occupied by adults will probably determine how you feel about the accommodation. The car park was relatively empty otherwise it might have been a squeeze for a large car. So there are a few things that could be better but it has to be said that the outstanding location and much of the interior will probably make up for the other shortcomings. Hide

No coffee machine mentioned in the contents and your staff thought no machine but I was happily surprised to find one in the kitchen. May be worth updating the details for others. Great place though thanks

We loved everything about this cottage BUT ONE THING.which we thought was ridiculous for any holiday maker to have to do. The bins!! Happy to sort out rubbish into separate bags etc but then to be required to drive to the local recycling plant is really a step too far - particularly as there were bins for the other properties next to us. Bins couRead moreld be sorted! The journey to the centre was out of our way and was not a pleasant end to our experience. This is a shame because everything else was perfectbut it was such major issue for us..what if you didnt have a car??? I have never ever known anything like this before in any accommodation weve stayed in - really not good enough Hide

Everything was excellent apart from the toaster being broken. I reported it as soon as I could but it was not replaced until our last day.
