Take two happy pups to this fantastic barn conversion situated along a track just off Welshmoor Common, a perfect getaway for families and friends seeking an idyllic rural retreat. Surrounded by lush woodlands and open fields, this delightful property is perfect for nature lovers, cyclists and walkers exploring the Gower.

Entering this beautiful two-storey property, you will love the light-filled lounge, airy and inviting, with plenty of seating and a wood burner for chilly evenings, making this a perfect snug space for you and your hounds to unwind. The high ceilings and a feature stone wall add character, while glass doors offer stunning views over the countryside. The ground floor also has a charming, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with everything you need to prepare and enjoy home-cooked meals. Two en-suite twin bedrooms and a separate family bathroom are also on the ground floor. Upstairs is a small, galleried landing and another en-suite, twin room. Outside, enjoy the patio area with outdoor furniture, providing a lovely spot to take in the views over Llanrhidian and towards the Loughor river. The gardens are unenclosed, with large grassy spaces perfect for children to play under supervision. The property is on a working farm, with Welshmoor Common nearby, so livestock is present.

Head to Loughor (8 miles) and enjoy a walk along the trail by the estuary. Other local attractions to explore include the remains of King Arthur’s Stone (5 miles). There are several gorgeous coastal spots, to set tails wagging, within 12 miles, including Whiteford Sands - which is good for walking, Three Cliffs Bay - known for its stunning views, and Rhossili Bay - a wonderful surfing beach. For a day to let the dogs chase their tails in the woods, head to Penllergaer Valley Wood (10.5 miles) and enjoy the countryside views on the way.

Brilliant holiday let, couldnt have been more pleased. Its so spacious, warm and well equipped. A very relaxing stay. The location is amazing, very rural with big views big skies and big weather, yet within easy reach of Swansea and all the beauty of The Gower. Would definitely return.

The perfect location for a family with 4 young kids. Close enough to hit the beaches but enough outside space for them to enjoy and farm animals on hand too. The stay made even more special by the farm dogs visiting us daily for a play!

The cottage is ideally situated to enjoy the natural beauty of the Gower countryside and beaches. The cottage was very clean, well presented and very comfortable. En-suite facilities to each of the three bedrooms was perfect for our needs and there is a large lawn area to enjoy. The service by "Home from Home" was excellent
