Situated in an idyllic spot on the Gower Peninsula, this light and cheerful holiday cottage makes a great hideaway for couples seeking a romantic retreat surrounded by breathtaking countryside. One of a pair of welcoming cottages, the property is a fantastic bolthole for two guests. With wooden beams, stone tiling, underfloor heating and a feature stone wall, this beautifully updated traditional cottage is ideal for walkers exploring the woodlands, villages and beaches of a spellbinding part of South Wales.

Stepping into this breezy and friendly stone-built cottage, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner makes a delightful living space for you to unwind in. With a snug sofa, TV, wood burner effect electric fire and a decorative Welsh dresser, the lounge is ideal for relaxing in at the end of a memorable day. There’s also a sweet dining table and a kitchen with a range of equipment perfect for rustling up a romantic meal for two. A flight of stairs leads up from the living area to the first floor which has an invigorating shower room and a colourful, tastefully furnished king-size bedroom. Double doors lead from the dining area onto a small, enclosed patio with garden furniture, providing a handy spot for dining alfresco on a sunny afternoon.

Close to a friendly pub on the outskirts of Llanmadoc, the cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Gower Peninsula, with the secluded beach at Whiteford Sands less than a mile away.

The cottage is in a great position with the pub just down the road which served excellent food. The community shop is a great asset to the village, just up the road. It was good to be able to park the car off the road and have an enclosed garden to keep our Jack Russell from playing with the sheep which had the run of the village.

A comfortable, cosy cottage ideal for a couple. Its just a few steps away from the local inn which was really convenient. We loved exploring the Gower and going for beach walks with our dog. A great stay.

Ideal position for walking the Coast Path, birdwatching, and plant and butterfly spotting! Comfortable little cottage for 2, and maybe only 100 yds from the award winning Brittania Inn with delicious fresh Welsh food.

I requested a secure garden which should have explained it was only secure for small dogs only. There was not the direct walking access to the beach as advertised. The beach walk took two and a half hours not twenty minutes as advertised.
