Set within the peaceful surroundings of Gnoll Country Park, this stone-built, former groundskeeper’s lodge offers families and groups of friends the perfect base from which to explore the magnificent landscapes of Neath.

Brimming with period charm, boasting an original tiled floor and antique style pieces, the dining room that welcomes you provides plenty of space for you to gather with loved ones and plan your next adventure. The fabulous, tiled floor leads through to the cosy lounge, which enjoys plush seating and a feature wood burner, perfect for chilly evenings during the colder months. Combining country cottage character with contemporary charm, the kitchen will capture your imagination, inspiring you to rustle up something delicious with your local produce. Wash off a long day on the local trails in the stylish shower room before heading upstairs to retire to one of the three blissful bedrooms. You’ll find two king-sizes and one twin, each lovingly finished with a blend of period furnishings. Outside, the private gardens wrap around the cottage, offering a patio terrace and seating area where you can soak up tranquil views of the pond and local wildlife. There is private parking for three cars.

The unspoilt scenery of Gnoll Country Park offers expansive grounds to explore, boasting lakes, woodland, and open areas, a playground for keen outdoor explorers and nature lovers alike. From countryside to coast, the charming fishing village of Mumbles, 14 miles away, features a lively seafront that showcases the finest local produce this area has to offer, along with a quintessentially seaside Victorian Pier. From here, you’re well placed to uncover the Gower Peninsula, home to some of Wales’s most breathtaking beaches.

This cottage is stunning. It ticked all the boxes from being clean, tidy, a lovely quiet location, it was relaxing and comfortable, really well decorated and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again.
