Rest and recharge in this delightful seaside cottage in the heart of Mumbles. The property sleeps four guests and is ideal for small families and couples. Wander out of the cottage to explore the bustling village, or hop in the car to visit the breathtaking sandy beaches of the Gower Peninsula (the surfing hotspot of Langland Bay is just 1.5 miles away). At the end of the day, snuggle by the wood burner or dine alfresco amongst the flowers in the pretty garden.

The cottage is set on a quiet cul-de-sac and, once inside, you’re met with a welcoming, open-plan lounge/diner. Exposed woodwork and russet tones make this space feel warm and inviting, along with a roaring wood burner. Spend your evenings curled up on the plump sofas or sharing delicious, home-cooked meals around the wooden dining table. A stylish kitchen completes the ground floor. An elegant staircase leads from the living area to the first floor, where you’ll discover the pretty double bedroom with a Juliet balcony and the cosy twin. Rounding off this home-away-from-home is a family bathroom and a shower room. Patio doors lead from the kitchen onto a decked area, followed by steps down to a charming patio garden with outdoor furniture and a gorgeous array of colourful plants and flowers.

A 300-metre stroll will bring you into the heart of Mumbles, where you’ll find a fabulous range of independent cafes, restaurants, shops, and galleries. The village also boasts a fabulous Victorian pier and a 5-mile seafront promenade. History enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Oystermouth Castle, where you can admire the deep medieval vaults and 14th-century graffiti art. From Mumbles, you can join the Wales Coast Path to explore the spectacular coastline of the Gower Peninsula, with an abundance of hidden coves and sandy beaches.

Oyster Cottage was a perfect home-from-home for our family holiday. The little details like finding family games in the drawers, a well-sized bathroom with a bath and quiet location made it ideal for a break with young children. The fantastically well equipped kitchen also made it possible for cooking family meals at home with little fuss. A super Read moreplace to stay! Hide

My 2 adult sons & I loved staying in this spacious cottage with our yorkie. It was very clean, comfortable & homely with lovely views of the castle & bay. The garden is pretty & has a deck where we enjoyed sitting in the sunshine during the evening. It has great amenities & is close to a variety of shops. We hope to stay here again another year.

Parking is the major issue, with very narrow road access and parking of neighbours cars. The step down floor to the rear bedroom is dangerous, the floors upstairs are creaky and the door handles are noisy which makes it difficult when getting up in the night without disturbing friends. Also, the bathroom needs a proper shower over the bath

The cottage was lovely and in a perfect position. On street parking was a big bonus, and a great pub a couple of minutes walk away was also fantastic. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was warm, the showers were hot and everything was lovely and clean. The one thing we were not so keen about was the online instruction manual. We later founRead mored one in the cottage but initially thought that the online one was the only one. I also did not like having to pay an extra 20 for insurance. It should be included in the price. These are two minor gripes though. Hide

The house was in a convenient location and the garage was a big bonus. I think a welcome tray with a pint of milk would have been useful and also feel it unreasonable that no toilet rolls were supplied but hope that was a oversight.
