Located in the picturesque region of Dyfed, Wales, Three Crosses features Y Beudy, a beautifully converted barn that serves as luxury self-catering accommodation, designed to comfortably host up to seven guests. The barn, which translates to "the shed" or "the barn" in Welsh, was transformed a few years ago with the help of local craftsmen who utilized modern environmental materials and techniques. This spacious retreat offers an inviting open-plan living area, ideal for families or groups seeking a tranquil getaway near the stunning Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The ground floor of Y Beudy boasts a well-equipped kitchen that includes a washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and microwave, as well as a farmhouse table that comfortably seats eight. Guests can enjoy the cozy ambiance created by the log-burning stove while relaxing on any of the three sofas or enjoying entertainment on the 42” LCD TV, DVD player, and iPod docking station. The mezzanine floor features a luxurious bathroom complete with a deep bath, providing an additional touch of comfort for guests.
On the first floor, the accommodation comprises three well-appointed bedrooms. The first two rooms each feature luxurious superking-size beds, while the third room includes an adult-size single bed alongside a set of comfortable adult-size bunk beds. A second bathroom with a walk-in shower caters to the guests' needs. Outside, visitors can take advantage of a large patio area equipped with garden furniture and a BBQ, all set within 30 acres of private land, providing ample space for children to run around and explore the surrounding 70 square miles of Gower.
Situated in the quiet rural neighborhood of Llanrhidian Higher, Y Beudy offers a serene escape while being close to local landmarks such as the Dylan Thomas Birth Place and Penllergare Valley Woods. Families can enjoy nearby attractions like WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre and Blackpill Lido, as well as Clyne Gardens and Swansea Observatory for a fun-filled day. However, guests should note that the property enforces a no-pets policy, requires noise to be kept to a minimum at night, and has specific check-in days and group restrictions to ensure a pleasant stay for all. Rural Wi-Fi may be slow and intermittent, adding to the rustic charm of this idyllic retreat.
