Property code: OC-HH178

Poised on Gower’s East Cliff, enjoy breathtaking sea views overlooking Hunts Bay across to the North Devon coastline from almost every window of this impressive family getaway, surrounded by the enchanting countryside and coastline of the Gower Peninsula.

No better antidote for weary walking muscles is the inviting warmth of the wood burner and plush sofas in the rustic lounge which features beautiful, exposed brickwork that sets a charming, homely atmosphere. Head into the farmhouse-style kitchen to prepare a locally sourced feast and enjoy special family time around the dining table in the large hallway. The surrounding coastline doesn’t feel too far away in the cosy lounge upstairs which features beautiful panoramic views over Hunts Bay from the mezzanine balcony. Head across the mezzanine balcony to the master bedroom and enjoy more glimpses of the coast from the bedroom’s balcony before retiring for the night in the master bedroom, ground floor bedroom, or two en-suite bedrooms upstairs. Dine alfresco long into the evening in the quaint enclosed courtyard at the centre of the property before gathering the gang for some garden games on the extensive front lawn.

Located within the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, when staying at this idyllic getaway you’ll get to know this corner of postcard-perfect coastline and countryside very well. Join up with the nearby Wales Coast Path to reach the dog-friendly Three Cliffs Bay (2 miles) tucked away behind some impressive limestone cliffs, for a traditional bucket and spade day at the seaside. Head to Pennard Golf Course 1.5 miles away for the best panoramic views over the whole bay before teeing off amongst your breathtaking scenery. One of Gower’s finest surfing and water sports hot spots fringed by iconic beach huts, Langland Bay, can be reached just over 6 miles away.

Wonderful views from the front of the house out to sea over the coast path and towards the cliffs on the next headland to the east. Very quiet location within easy walking distance of shop and cafe. Lovely walks along the cliffs and inland.
