Surrounded by idyllic countryside, this traditionally styled farm cottage lies along a quiet lane overlooking peaceful farmland and the tranquil Llanrhidian Sands. Offering cosy holiday accommodation for up to six guests, the property is ideal for exploring the rugged landscapes, picturesque villages, medieval castles and stunning beaches of the Gower Peninsula. Featuring a welcoming wood burner, whitewashed beams and a generous garden with fantastic views, this delightful hideaway is perfect for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers discovering a secluded corner of South Wales.

The cottage has an inviting lounge with a wood burner and plenty of seating, making a relaxing spot for everyone to watch a movie in the evenings. The spacious kitchen/diner is perfect for preparing and sharing a family feast, with plenty of equipment, a farmhouse-style dining table and additional sofa. Upstairs, you will find a family bathroom and the three bright, cosy bedrooms, all decorated in warm, neutral shades: there are two charming king-size rooms (one with en-suite shower room) and a pretty bunk bedroom with a full-size bunk over a 4’ bed plus a wooden cot. Outside, the immediate area surrounding the house is paved, leading to a garden on two levels, with a large lawn for children to play, and a beautiful patio with outdoor furniture and a chiminea, providing a great space to sit back, enjoy a BBQ and take in the surrounding views.

Perfect for exploring the secluded northern edge of the Gower, the cottage is just 1.5 miles from the cheery village of Llanmadoc which is home to a friendly pub.

The cottage is ideally located for the Gower and local beaches, friendly local pubs and restaurants, although a car is needed. The cottage itself is a perfect size for 6 adults, great party kitchen.

The cottage itself is beautiful and in a stunning although remote location. Huge kitchen and bedroom spaces, although a small, dark sitting room. Lovely neutral and calming colour scheme throughout the cottage with a sweet front lawn!

The cottage was exceptionally good, regarding attention to detail decorativally and furniture and fittings. However the en suite bathroom was poor in cleanliness and we spent 45 minutes on our first day removing spiders from every room.

Attractive property and grounds, your travel instructions were accurate and easily understood. The pubs you mentioned were very good. the various beauty spots were within easy reach, at this time of the year the roads were nice and quite. All in all, a very nice break for us.

Good size rooms all round especially the kitchen/diner and lounge. Large fridge freezer in the utility room was very useful. Good location for walking but pubs and shops a distance away.

We did leave notes in the property to highlight a few areas to consider. Doors not closing, baby gate was temperamental, grill and BBQ both had food from previous occupants left, extractor very greasy.
