Swallow Cottage, situated in Gowerton near Swansea, Dyfed, offers a tranquil farm stay within close proximity to the breathtaking Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Accommodating up to four guests, this charming property features two bedrooms—one double and one twin—making it ideal for families or small groups. The cottage is designed for convenience with all amenities located on the ground floor, including an open-plan living space that boasts a 50" Smart TV, a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, and a cozy conservatory that overlooks a vast lawned garden and the surrounding countryside.
The cottage is part of the historic Cefn Gorwydd Fawr Farm, which dates back to the 17th century, and has been thoughtfully converted from an old milking barn. Guests can enjoy the expansive outdoor area, which spans ¾ acre and is adorned with mature trees, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. Swallow Cottage is pet-friendly, allowing visitors to bring their furry companions along for the getaway. The local village of Gowerton is just a short stroll away, offering essential amenities such as shops, pubs, cafés, and a bakery, ensuring that guests have everything they need within easy reach.
For those looking to explore the great outdoors, Swallow Cottage serves as an excellent base. The Gower Peninsula is known for its stunning coastline, featuring over thirty beaches and coves, many of which are dog-friendly and only a 20-minute drive away. Nearby, guests can find family-friendly cycle paths leading to Mumbles or the expansive Pembrey Country Park, which boasts an 8-mile sandy beach and various activities for children. With around 27 miles of cycle paths and numerous footpaths in the area, outdoor enthusiasts will have ample opportunities for hiking and biking right from their doorstep.
The cottage's location provides easy access to the M4 motorway, allowing guests to venture further afield to explore more of Wales’ picturesque coastline or the vibrant cities of Swansea, Cardiff, and Bristol. For those who prefer public transport, a train station in the village offers direct connections to Cardiff in just over an hour. Additionally, Swallow Cottage can be booked alongside its partner property, Meadow Cottage, to accommodate larger groups of up to eight guests. While the cottage is easily accessible, visitors should be aware that the last stretch of road is an unmade farm track that can be bumpy, particularly after heavy rain, so a cautious approach is advised.
