Set in the Gower Peninsula, this dog-friendly couples bolthole is perfect for a pair of beach and nature lovers. Surrounding this homely and traditional countryside cottage is miles of golden coastline. Enjoy long strolls along the shore, dips in the sea and trips to the nearby coastal towns. Spend your evenings dining alfresco in the garden or relaxing in the open-plan living space.
Inside this converted, stone-built barn is a neutral-toned open-plan lounge/diner. Coastal themed art hangs on the walls above the wood burner-effect electric fire and Smart TV, sitting opposite the grey sofa. Behind here, natural light pours through the sash windows onto the intimate wooden dining table for two. Continue into the farmhouse-style kitchen to find a well-sized ‘L’-shaped fitted kitchen unit with wooden countertops and white cabinets. Along the hallway is a contemporary shower room and a comfortable double bedroom with wooden furnishings. Outside you’ll find an enclosed garden with a lawn and a bistro set. There is private parking for one car.
Start your day with a stroll down to the idyllic cliff and grassy hill-backed Three Cliffs Bay (1.5 miles). Get to know this area of the Gower National Landscape with a trip to the local pub, heritage centre and ruins of Pennard Castle (all within 1.5 miles). Further afield is the windswept Worms Head Island (11 miles), accessible along the causeway at low tide. If you’re in the mood for some seafood, there’s a handful of eateries in the nearby town of Mumbles (7 miles).
