What a wonderful peaceful location for our multi-generation holiday! The space was big enough for us all, with lovely views across the salt marsh. It was very well equipped for us to prepare meals, and two sitting rooms allowed for flexibility. The bedrooms are set on the first floor, through a maze of little steps up and down, which may cause issuRead morees for those less firm but worked well for us. The cafe right next door was an excellent spot for lunch and we were able to walk from the doorstep round the penninsula, through the salt marshes and up to the iron fort. This is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle! Hide

The house was clearly a much loved family home/holiday home. It was comfortable and had plenty of space for our 3 generation family. Instructions for staying at the house were comprehensive. We were blessed with 7 days of glorious weather and the house is in a peaceful and beautiful area with walks to beaches, cafes and community shops all on hanRead mored. We had a wonderful holiday and would consider returning to East Cwm Ivy. It should be noted there are a lot of steps at the property and this may be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. There are no facilities for very young children and those travelling with young children may need to provide a travel cot/stair gate/ plastic plates etc. Hide

Large house in a good location for exploring Gower, enjoyed seeing the sheep and (?) ponies wandering the lane outside. There are great views of the nature reserve from the house, and Whiteford beach is absolutely stunning.
