Property code: OC-HH2112

A striking stone property enveloped by a lush garden oasis and boasting tranquil vistas across Oxwich Bay. This luxurious hideaway is perfect for large family gatherings or reunions with friends plus two waggy-tailed members. Crash through the lapping shoreline of Three Cliffs Bay (1.5 miles), before sliding open the magnificent patio doors to enjoy an al fresco fiesta with an unbeatable coastal backdrop.

This tastefully converted cottage expertly blends country charm and contemporary flair. Picture vaulted wooden beams, exposed brickwork, earthy neutral tones, and sleek glazing. Dry sandy fur on the porch then attempt to pot a hole on the elegant snooker table. Pad along the slate tiling into the spacious lounge and stretch weary paws in the ambient glow of the wood burner. Unwind on the soft sofas with a tipple in hand and settle in for a blether. Step into the beautifully appointed dining area bathed in natural light and offering breathtaking sea views. Slide open the floor-to-ceiling Bifold doors to embrace breezy indoor-outdoor living then gather around the wooden feasting table for a celebratory supper. While away afternoons pottering in the country kitchen and rustle up an extra meaty meal for your furry companions. Escape to the snug for a moment of peace or let the creative juices flow in the sophisticated study. Ascend the staircase and sink into the crisp linens of four enticing bedrooms, each featuring elevated views of Oxwich Bay and chic en-suites. Outside, scope out the pool table or set noses twitching with a saunter through the landscaped gardens.

Sniff out the intriguing crumbling ruins of the 12th Century Pennard Castle (5 miles) then inhale the salty ocean breeze with some ball-chasing antics on the soft sands of Rhosilli Bay (9 miles). Don’t miss the chance to sample doggy ice cream on the bustling Grade II-listed Mumbles Pier (9 miles).

Have stayed here several times and its always so relaxing. The house is really comfortable with loads of space to spread out - and the view is stunning.

Lovely house, very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Some tricky steps inside the house as it is on different levels- negotiable but care needed. My dog and I enjoyed the walks from the house up onto the Gower Way and enjoyed seeing the wild Welsh ponies close by. The pool table was popular!
