Take two happy pups with you to this impressive lodge, perfect for a relaxing family getaway to the Gower Peninsula, with picturesque and peaceful beaches on the doorstep. Situated in the quaint hamlet of Penmaen at the foot of Cefn Bryn, there are a handful of gorgeous sandy beaches within 2.5 miles, including spectacular Three Cliffs Bay, Tor Beach, and Oxwich Bay Beach, where your hounds can go mutts on the beach and splash in the sea.

This characterful property is full of rustic charm, including exposed ceiling beams and stone walls and is blended with all the contemporary comforts that will ensure your stay is unforgettable. Relax together in the comfortable lounge, with plenty of sofas for you and your hounds to rest in, a traditional wood burner in a brick fireplace, and rustic wooden flooring. The dining room is charming, and the contemporary kitchen is perfectly equipped for large families, with a convenient breakfast bar to sit around and plan the day ahead. Also on the ground floor are a double bedroom, twin bedroom, and shower room. The first-floor attic rooms offer two double rooms, one with an additional single bed. Finally, there is a generous bathroom. You can access a sunny balcony with outdoor furniture from the first-floor double bedroom. Outside, a step up from the driveway leads to the large, enclosed garden where the hounds can play. At the rear is a sunny patio with seating and steps down to a stone platform with further seating to enjoy the sunny days.

The area is rich in history, with Pennard Castle (4 miles) and Oxwich Castle (3.5 miles) worth visiting. Explore the Gower Heritage Centre (1 mile away), offering a range of activities and festivals for all ages throughout the year. For a lovely walk, head to the Loughor Estuary (10.5 miles) and let your hounds sniff out adventure along the trail as you enjoy the wildlife and birdlife along the way.

The cottage was spacious, comfortable and practical for our group of 8. Always a good supply of hot water. All linen very clean. Lovely garden and 'sun trap' patio. Excellent location.

The property is in a great location and is an ideal size for a large, mixed generation, family group. The lovely big patio is excellent for alfresco dining and the front garden great for keeping kids and dog occupied. Close to footpaths for local beaches and Cefn Bryn. The lodge also has easy access to the south Gower road for other beaches, MumbleRead mores and Swansea. Just a little TLC needed to bring this property up to the excellent standard we experienced during our first visit in 2022. Hide

This property worked well for three generations and the outside space for children and adults is good. However there were some basic things missing from the kitchen - oven gloves and rack for grill. We found the beds to be soft and thought that they should all have mattress protectors. This is the first property weve hired that didnt have a welcomeRead more pack - not even a bottle of milk! We felt the property was tired Having said that we did enjoy exploring the Gower and did wonderful walks from the property, around Oxwich Bay and Rossili. Hide

The location of Holly Tree Lodge is nigh on perfect, given that you can walk to Three Cliffs Bay in 15 minutes and other fabulous beaches such as Oxwich and Rhossili are just a short drive away.
