Property code: OC-HH19

Nestled at the top of a hill in one of Gower’s most picture-perfect quaint villages, this coastal home-from-home offers cosy and comfortable interiors and close proximity to both a charming fishing village and the magical coastline that surrounds it.

Colourful and eclectic, the spacious lounge/dining room invites you to hunker down on the plush sofas to soothe tired walking muscles or gather the gang around the rustic dining table to plan tomorrow’s big adventure around the local coastline. Grab the wonderful local produce you’ve collected and head into the contemporary kitchen to rustle up a delicious feast to feed the crowd. As day turns to night, head upstairs to retire to any of the three characterful bedrooms; admire glorious sea views from the double bedroom that’ll leave you dreaming of your splendid seaside surroundings. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by throwing open the patio doors in the dining room and heading up the stone steps to the raised patio terrace to enjoy marvellous sea views as you dine alfresco.

Situated at the western end of Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, the charming fishing village of Mumbles boasts a bustling seafront showcasing the best local produce the area has to offer and a Victorian Pier that keeps the quintessential Welsh seaside alive. Take a walk through history at the 12th-century Oystermouth Castle less than half a mile away, boasting some magnificent elevated views overlooking Swansea Bay. Keen walkers can join the nearby coastal path linking the neighbouring beaches of Rotherslade Bay and Langland Bay (both 1 mile) to be rewarded with a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside and some breathtaking views of the fabulous coastline.

We really enjoyed staying at your property. It is a very nice homely house well equipped with scenic views from indoors and outdoors in the garden up the steep steps. It benefits from spacious rooms, comfortable beds and parking. Furthermore, it is positioned on a quiet road close to the shops and beaches.

We enjoyed the rooms, sofas wee a wee bit softer than we are used to but certainly comfortable. The information available in the house was very useful. The bathroom was lovely and the bedrooms suitable for purpose fir each of us. We loved the garden and it's many levels even if it does need a bit of a tidy up. The utility room was a great asset tRead moreoo. Generally we were very happy with the house as we tend to only use as a base and only really spent evenings there. Hide

There was not a great easy access to speaking to an operator. I started speaking to a bot online before I went and they just replied three times with generic answers, so I gave up.

We loved this house and its location. Overland Road suggested it may go over land, and this turned out to be the case. Turn right and you can wind your way down to the top end of the promenade on the way to the pier (currently closed), turn left and within a few minutes I was at Rotherslade Bay, over the road and down the hill takes you past the chRead moreippy to one of the shopping streets. The garden, although very steep was also sheltered so we could sit outside even if it was windy elsewhere. The kitchen equipment is good, the beds are comfortable and we were grateful for access to the heating controls when we came home cold and wet one afternoon. We didnt watch much TV as the lounge TV was pretty basic, but after full days out and leisurely evening meals this wasnt a big deal. Hide

The house was well equipped, beds very comfy and great shower. There is also a dishwasher which wasn't in the listing description. The location is about 10 mins easy walk uphill from sea front and main area of restaurants. The neighbourhood is lovely and quiet. It was very useful to have a parking space as street parking in area extremely limited. Read moreThe road and driveway is very narrow, however, luckily there was no car on neighbour's drive when we were there so it was easy to park. It would be quite difficult to park a large car if there was a car on neighbouring drive. Views from the upper terraces of the back garden were stunning but unfortunately the garden has not been well maintained so it is not really useable. A fence panel is missing so entire garden not 100% secure for dogs, although the patio area immediately to the rear of the house is gated. The garden area was a shame but overall the house was clean and comfy and good value for money. Hide

Good value stay in Mumbles. The property has a lovely sea view from main bedroom & living room. The parking space is a bit tight for SUVs. A good base for exploring the Gower.

Where we stayed on Overland Road was a beautiful and ideal location to remain within the glorious coast line of the Swansea bay. It's a charming place and totally addictive when the weather is at its very best. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave!
