A clean & tidy cottage in a quiet location. Well positioned for exploring the Gower peninsula and beyond. Lovely views from the cottage of horses, fields and woodland with lots of wild bird song at dawn. Ruth & Ian the friendly and helpful owners live on site and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Very clean barn conversion, very friendly owners next door. Lovely views across the countryside from the lounge window. It is a well insulated, warm cottage, unfortunately there are no views from the upstairs rooms, only skylights. There is off road parking. The drive is quite steep.

We enjoyed two weeks staying in this lovely cottage. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped in very quiet, peaceful surroundings. We were able to completely relax. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and on hand to answer any questions we might have. We have stayed in many holiday rentals in past years some in The Gower but Ivy Cottage Read moreis definitely the best. Hide

I've visited this cottage a few times now. It's got beautiful views out the back, it's always warm, the bedding is always clean and so are the towels. Couches are comfy, the shower has good pressure, and there's always hot water. I would always recommend this place.

Exceptionally well-designed accommodation, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very quiet - ideal for a couple of friends as well for as a family. The horses in the adjacent field are a source of entertainment! A great location for exploring the Gower beaches, Caswell Bay and Oxwich are easily accessed from car-parks, the cliff top at RhossiliRead more is a great walk though the path to the beach is very steep indeed. Swansea and its museums are handy for wet days, especially the Waterfront one. Hide

Great holiday house. Loved the location - at the gateway to the Gower but also close to the Mumbles. There is a cycle path 500 metres from the cottage that gives you a 5k route straight to Blackpill lido and the beach. Everything in the cottage was perfect. Great layout and all the equipment you need. The horses at the bottom of the garden were a lRead moreovely bonus. Hide
