We had a great afternoon Gorge walking with Jamie from RipnRock yesterday. We really recommend it. Beautiful scenery and exciting climbs & jumps.

It is so we thought we'd share some pictures of our customers having fun in our stunning Welsh locations:

Rhossili Bay and Three Cliffs Bay, Gower
Waterfall Country

Surf was up at Langland this week!

Our solar lights are still going strong. The hydrangea is in full bloom. Perfect spot for evenings in the garden. A few mid weeks and the odd weekend are available in October.

Summer has finally arrived. I hope our guests enjoy these beach days. 🌞

Bookings for Autumn are filling up. Our large dining room sits 7 comfortably and if we get some Autumn sun the patio doors open on to our sun trap walled garden.

Mumbles in the press again.

The Welsh town of Mumbles, which is not far from Swansea, has been named one of the best places to live by the sea by The Sunday Times this year

I'm addicted to crispy cockles! Selwyn's Seafoods is a great place to visit when you stay with us.

One of the nearby activities we recommend to guests. Zip World South Wales. Roughly 45 minutes drive from the cottage.

We can confirm that the Gower Seafood Hut serves up some well tasty fare. Personal favourite the crispy cockles. Yum.

Triple-cooked, with curry sauce and locally sourced… eat your heart out at these first choice chippies

Stunning day on the beautiful Oxwich. A busy beach but walk towards Tor Bay and you have it to yourself.

Lovely view of Mumbles through the old slip bridge in Swansea. Perfect day for a stroll to Swansea from Mumbles, with a little help from the land train.

Well done The Secret Beach Bar & Kitchen Swansea for being named as one of the best beach cafes in the UK.

Enjoy freshly cooked food within sight of the sea – whatever the weather

We had a fantastic meal at The Shed last Thursday. Definitely recommend it just like Grace Dent! The crab starter was delish as was everything! All local, organic, seasonal food. Yum.

This is essentially 16 years of the chef’s homesickness for Wales on a plate, complete with a laverbread garnish

We love a trip to Swansea Market so many great stalls and tasty lunch options.

Our 4 cosy bedrooms sleep 7 people. Plenty of space for all the family. We have some availability left for February half term.

Oxwich castle is one of a fair few castles on Gower. Which is your favourite? Ours has got to be Oystermouth as we can see it from the cottage. I especially love it at night when it's all lit up!

27/01/2024

Re-pouffed the pouffes! These useful little duo have been well loved by the guests and are back full of beans!

Another stunning photo of Caswell Bay from Gŵyr. One of our favourite beaches to visit! A 30-minute quick walk, a beautiful 2-mile coastal walk or a quick 5-10 minute drive from our cottage.

Caswell Bay in Gower offers a picturesque setting with its sandy shore and dramatic rock formations. The beach is renowned for its excellent surfing conditions, making it a popular spot for water sports enthusiasts. The bay is also home to a variety of marine life, and at low tide, rock pools are revealed, allowing visitors to explore and discover creatures such as small fish, crabs, and other intertidal organisms. The waves at Caswell Bay are suitable for both swimmers and surfers, with lifeguards often on duty during the peak season to ensure the safety of beachgoers. The beach is also an excellent destination for nature lovers and those interested in coastal geology.

We all know it’s the best and we’ve got the proof…… Swansea Market has been crowned as ‘Britain’s Best Large Indoor Market 2024’ by industry body NABMA! Having won the award previously in 2015 and 2020, it just goes to show that Swansea Market continues to impress visitors from far and wide alike and doesn’t rest on its laurels. A lot of work goes into making this happen so thank you to all of our Market team and the traders and their staff who do such a fantastic job!

Mae pob un ohonom yn gwybod mai hon yw'r un orau ac mae'r prawf gennym....mae Marchnad Abertawe wedi'i choroni'n 'Farchnad Dan Do Orau Prydain' gan y corff diwydiant NABMA! Ar ôl ennill y wobr o'r blaen yn 2015 a 2020, mae'n dangos bod Marchnad Abertawe yn dal i greu argraff ar ymwelwyr o bell ac agos, ac nid yw'n gorffwys ar ei rhwyfau. Mae angen llawer o waith i sicrhau bod hyn yn digwydd, felly diolch i bob un o dîm y farchnad a'r masnachwyr a'u staff sy'n gwneud gwaith mor wych!
