Overview
Property code: OC-HH701

The beach is on your doorstep at this stunning coastal cottage. It’s full of quaint country charm and thoughtful decoration, and with the beautiful Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty all around, you’ll soon feel relaxed during your stay. Open-plan living spaces and four beautiful bedrooms make this a fabulous choice for a big group gathering; there’s a generous-sized garden too where you can unwind in the covered dinning area and listen as the sea laps on the shoreline.

Cottage styling gets an on-trend revision at this characterful coastal cottage. Ideal for a party of friends or family, it features a striking kitchen/diner/utility space complete with feature tiled flooring, a table and chairs to seat six and French doors onto the garden – bring a dog and he can wander in and out at will! Similarly fashionable, the lounge/diner here has soft seating, a TV and a wood burner, plus a second dining suite and French doors to the garden. A handy cloakroom is off the utility area with a wc and shower, while upstairs there’s an impressive family bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Four bedrooms are also on this upper floor: one a super-king-size with dual-aspect windows and beach views, a king-size room also with views over the beach, a double room and a triple room with bunks and a single bed. An additional pull-out single bed can be requested for use in this room too. This beachside retreat is beside the car park at Horton Bay. Listen to the sounds of the shoreline as you sit in the garden or enjoy drinks on the patio – the beach is just a 150 metres stroll away.

Spacious and safe, the beach at Horton is an all-rounder for water sports and family fun, with lifeguards on duty during summer. Neighbouring Port Eynon has over the centuries been a centre for oyster fishing, limestone quarrying and salt extraction. Today, the beach is popular for diving, sailing, surfing and windsurfing. A 3.5-mile drive in the opposite direction, Oxwich Bay is the longest expanse of sand in South Gower, backed by dunes, woodland and cliffs.

A well appointed house in a fantastic location so near the beach. It has a great garden. The shower in the garden was a luxury after early morning dips. The coastal footpath running passed the house gave us access to spectacular walks. We loved the area and will return.

This property and our stay was faultless, the house has everything you would need, its comfortable, warm and well equipped. The location is spot on for the beach and walking routes and the area is beautiful. we did lots of local walks and more often than not ended up in The Ship, which is a proper country pub with superb food. There were 7 of us, wRead morehich was 5 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog and everyone of us enjoyed this house and we would happily pay a return visit to this house as it was faultless. How anyone can find fault with this house and location is beyond me, it felt like a home away from home. Perfect. Hide

We loved the location of this property as it's so close to the beach. We all slept incredibly well & loved the log burner in the evenings after stormy days at the beach.

As a whole we were delighted to stay at this property. The garden was fantastic and secure which was perfect for the toddler in our party. The location is phenomenal and close to local amenities as well as the beach. We will definitely be returning!

The house is perfectly located for the beach. It is easy to pop back to the house. Port Eynon (and ice cream and fish and chips) is a short walk along the boardwalk.

We enjoyed the holiday, however the standard of cleaning was inconsistent. The bedrooms were good, the bedding excellent. Unfortunately the kitchen appeared to have only been surface-wiped. There were marks on the table-cloth, the plate rack was very dirty (we cleaned it), drawers, cupboard doors and freezer drawers needed deeper cleaning. The cookRead moreer was good. In the bathroom we had to be careful because we found a deep crack in the toilet seat; we reported this when we left. The bathroom wastebin didn't contain a liner and was dirty. On inspection it appeared that someone had spat some rice in there; we disinfected this and cleaned with boiling water. For your information we reported that the lounge door lock was broken; had the door been shut we would have been locked inside! We removed the lock and left with note for the cleaners to find. Hide
