Property code: OC-HH157

A homely hideaway situated in the sleepy village of Southgate on the rugged South Wales Coastline. This remodelled cottage is ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a seaside escape with a couple of furry tag-a-longs. Scramble atop sand dunes and sniff out salt marshes beneath the imposing limestone rockface of three Cliffs Bay (1 mile), before sneaking an afternoon snooze on the grassy lawn.

Steeped in history, this charming property beckons you inside with a warm country interior. Slip off sandy shoes then step into the bright lounge bathed in light from the large bay window. Sink onto the sofas with a drink and flick through your snaps from the day or unwind with a film on the TV. After a day by the sea, gather at the dining table nestled in the window alcove and dive into a well-earned holiday spread. Armature chefs can while away the evening pottering in the wooden kitchen with a glass of fizz in hand and their doe-eyed dog by their feet. Perch at the breakfast table with a brew and plan out the perfect South Wales itinerary. Retire to the traditional twin or ascend the staircase to discover a wood-panelled mezzanine double room. Completing this floor is a second airy twin. Be hounded out for some early morning ball-throwing fun on the spacious lawn then settle in for a leisurely al fresco breakfast.

Four-pawed history buffs are sure to delight in a visit to the iconic Arthur’s Stone boulder (8.5 miles). Spot the local surfers during a breezy saunter along the shoreline of Langland Bay (5 miles) then indulge your pampered pup in a doggy ice cream on the bustling Mumbles Pier (7 miles).

The Exchange is a lovely property, slightly worn/dated in parts, but very clean and comfortable. The location is fantastic - a short walk to some really beautiful coast. The kitchen is well equipped and functional, and the shower is incredible. Great stay!

I have based answers on the price we paid for the cottage which was relatively cheap compared with other properties in the same area. The only real issue we had was that we felt the bathroom could do with some tlc.

A nice cosy little house in a friendly village with many scenic walks right from the doorstep. The pub opposite the house is very welcoming & pleasant. The garden is properly enclosed & thus perfect for a dog.
