Property code: OC-HH105

An inviting coastal property enveloped by mature trees and overlooking the tranquil waters of Swansea Bay on the South Wales Coast. This charming hideaway is a wonderful base for couples or young families and their cheeky four-pawed companion. Sample specially churned doggy ice cream during a seaside scamper on the Grade II-listed Mumbles Pier (1 mile), before sniffing out the flower-peppered courtyard while the humans toast with a sundowner.

This well-presented property offers an airy interior with neutral tones, spacious social areas, and serene ocean views. Shake off sandy harnesses and towel soggy paws with a fluffy towel before stepping inside. Pad into the light-dappled lounge/diner and flop down on the sofas for a blether or curl up on the armchair and delve back into a novel. Stepping into the dining space, adorn the cosy table with a tempting spread and toast to your special occasion. Potter in the bright kitchen and rustle up a treat for your fur-baby or sip a nightcap before retiring to bed. Choose from a breezy twin or a generously proportioned king with a tempting reading nook. On balmy mornings, throw open the patio doors and bask in the summer breeze while your curious canine snuffles in the leafy garden.

Sea-loving pups can ball-chase, sand-dig, and wave-crash to their little heart’s content on the stretch of sandy shoreline at Mumbles Beach (1 mile) before refuelling with complimentary water bowls and tasty treats at one of the waterfront cafes (1 mile). Grab the lead and step back in time with a visit to the Gower Heritage Centre (6.5 miles) or hit the hills and attempt to tackle the ridge of Cefn Bryn (8 miles).

Location was perfect. View of the sea from the back garden, close to amenities but still felt very peaceful and tranquil. Neighbours were very friendly and helpful with local knowledge and tips. House was spacious yet still cosy and welcoming. Only thing to be improved is the weather!!
