About this property
A delightful semi-detached holiday cottage, oozing charm and character on the edge of the green in the heart of the picturesque village of Reynoldston. Step into the welcoming kitchen and the range cooker invites you to enjoy some home cooking and then sit together around the dining table in the corner of this charming room. The splendid sitting room is ideal to sit and read, enjoy some TV or better still, gather round the piano for some musical entertainment. The stairs from the sitting room lead you to two delightful bedrooms and a family bathroom. Completing the accommodation is a ground floor shower room and the enchantingly quirky crog loft mezzanine twin bedroom above the kitchen, which is accessed up a retractable ladder and is only suitable for older children. Many happy hours can be enjoyed together at this delightful holiday cottage but with the wonderful Gower coastline only a few miles away you will be tempted out for great days surfing, sunbathing or walking the wonderful coastline. Enjoy cycling in the most scenic countryside or travel a little further into Swansea to enjoy shopping, a theatre evening, a stroll along Mumbles or a football match. This quirky, comfortable holiday cottage is the perfect one for all the family, all year round.

Andrew
The small winding roads & sheep grazing outside add to the charm. The cottage is well equipped for cooking & family life. We didnât use the bonus bedroom but can imagine it being a lot of fun for tweens & teens. With a preschooler in tow we appreciated the family friendly loo seats and large bath. We would highly recommend the village pub as well as visiting some of the smaller bays nearby.

It has everything you could need. It felt very homely with a comfortable bed, we loved the village. It's situated in a great location to explore the beautiful Gower Peninsula. Hope to return one day.
