If you're looking for a seaside location, then this home certainly delivers that – and so much more. Just a stone's throw away from the beach in The Mumbles, it's a wonderful spot packed with fantastic amenities for all the family to enjoy. 

The huge windows frame the beautiful vistas outside, while the chic, modern decor allows the views to take centre stage. On chilly evenings, you can light up the fire and get cosy with a cup of tea and a good book. And, when the sun is shining, you'll want to make the most of the fabulous outdoor space. Head up to the terrace for a glass of wine and some local Welsh cheese as you gaze out across the water. Then, make sure you take a dip in the outdoor hot tub – it's the perfect place to relax after a day of adventures. 

Kids and adults alike will love paddling and eating ice cream on the sandy beach just a couple of streets away. Make sure you pay a visit to the impressive Victorian pier, and treat yourself to some tasty locally caught seafood in one of the nearby restaurants. And, if you hop in the car, you can discover plenty more beautiful beaches and clifftop walks along the crumbling coastline of the Gower Peninsula.

You couldn't get closer to Swansea Bay if you tried and this place has the views to prove it. Set just across the road from the seafront promenade and Mumbles Beach, here you'll be in the perfect spot to make the most of the seaside. And thanks to its terrace you'll have knockout views across the water and a couple of luxury surprises – including a private hot tub and a unique garden room with floor-to-ceiling windows.

A beautifully modernized period home, this place has been designed with real flair to include a striking yellow kitchen, with all the equipment you could need, stylish bathrooms, and a comfortable living room with a log burner. Perfect for a group of friends or an extended family, it's a sociable home where you can all relax in style. 

With some of the area's many eateries and boutiques practically on the doorstep, as well as the famous pier just a stroll away, it's a great location for exploring Mumbles, its nearby golf course, and the many beaches along this stunning stretch of coast.

Offering uninterrupted views over Limeslade Bay, this beautiful apartment is an ideal base for those looking to enjoy the delights of the Gower Peninsula and its many natural wonders. 

While there’s a climb to reach the home on the third floor, it’s more than worth the effort when met with the striking vistas stretching just outside your picture windows. Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa with a book and mug of tea – pausing now and then to take in the majesty of your locale – before gathering for a celebratory meal at the window-side table while the sun sets over the water below. At night, the king-size bed beckons a seamless night’s sleep, sure to leave you rested and ready for another day of sightseeing. 

Speaking of exploring, take a stroll around the building’s terraced garden, then saunter along the coastal path to Rotherslade (about twenty minutes) where there’s a charming beachside cafe. Our recommendation? Grab a cone from Forte’s Ice Cream Parlour and stroll to Bracelet Bay (nine minutes) before continuing on to Mumbles Pier (twelve minutes) and Mumbles Beach (twenty minutes).


Wonder Bay

Patio / Terrace

Right outside the window, the wild Atlantic stretches before you at this cosy little cottage on Swansea Bay. It’s in Mumbles, a seaside suburb with a Victorian pier, a long sweep of sandy beach and a medieval castle. We’re not exaggerating when we say the beach is mere footsteps away, just across the road. From here, you can follow the traffic-free walking path along the coast to Swansea, or to the wild headland in the other direction.

Returning to this cottage after a brisk seaside walk is a delight, especially with the electric fireplace glowing in the living room. You can watch the waves from the comfy sofa, thanks to the big sash window in the living room. There’s a dining table in here too, or you can opt for the more casual breakfast table in the full kitchen. Upstairs, the sea view continues in plush bedrooms and the loft landing is home to a bean-bag-strewn hang-out den. The piece de resistance is the private walled garden out the back with a cute wrought-iron dining set for an evening tipple in the sun. 

The Mumble of the Waves

Outdoor Seating

With incredible views of the ocean, this home in Langland Bay is the perfect coastal retreat. The home’s crowning glory is its large terrace with vistas of the bay and a patio table and chair which create the ideal spot for leisurely breakfasts, afternoon teas with plates of Welsh cakes, or dining alfresco on warmer evenings. 

Leading down from this terrace is the shared garden which provides direct access to a coastal path and the beach beyond. Langland Bay – which is characterised by its rows of colourful beach huts – is a hotspot for kayaking, paddle boarding, and surfing. Plus, there are beautiful walks along the Wales Coastal path. What’s more, a day out in Mumbles to stroll along the pier is just a short drive away. So, whether you’re looking for water-bound adventures or just taking in the stunning seaside scenery, this home can offer it all.

Tonnau'r Môr

Ironing Board

This apartment punches far above its weight as a romantic bolthole with undeniably great beach views on the doorstep of one of Wales' most famous areas of natural beauty. We love the master bathroom – the marble adds a classy touch, and you can enjoy a relaxing bath while the sun shines through the skylight. Step out onto the balcony in the mornings to take in the breathtaking views while listening to the waves crash against the shore and breathing in the salty sea air, all while sipping a cup of coffee.

When the season’s right, surfers can grab their boards and head down to the water and sunbathers can bask on the golden sand (with a little prayer to the weather gods first, this is Wales after all). The nearby Langland Brasserie and Surfside cafe are both within walking distance or stay at home and cook up a romantic feast for two, the choice is yours. End the evening by watching the sunset from your balcony while sipping a glass of champagne.

With Mumbles' beautiful beach just 50 metres from your door and its characterful coffee shops and galleries even closer, the setting of this charming fisherman’s cottage is hard to beat. After a little more bustle? The centre of Swansea is just a short drive away. Although with a cosy fire waiting back at this dog-friendly cottage, you might decide to stay put. If we're being picky, there’s only one bathroom and not much of a garden to speak of here other than a small backyard. But with the beach so close, we don’t think you’ll mind.

The Mumbles

Pod Coffee Machine

About five minutes' walk from the Mumbles seafront, this cottage is exactly the sort of cosy place you'll look forward to returning to after a long day out in the open air.

If you're here during the warmer months, you can sit outside and watch the sky go through its daily transformation from the terrace, but if it's too cold to even think about doing that, you can hunker down next to the wood burner in the open-concept living area or luxuriate in the bathtub instead.

The design throughout is classy and uncomplicated, with smart wooden floors, wooden furnishings and chic tiling in both the kitchen and bathroom doing all the heavy lifting. Sometimes, you really don't need to go over the top with it.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, you can reach plenty of attractions on foot, including Oystermouth Castle four minutes away and Rotherslade Bay taking about a quarter of an hour. Even closer than both of those, there's a fish and chips shop at the end of the road, which is sure to come in handy when you're not in the mood to cook.



Oysters for Breakfast

You’ll find this modern lodge a ten-minute walk from the heart of the Mumbles, a bustling fishing village on the Gower Peninsula. Inside the home, there’s a welcoming living space with a soft L-shaped sofa for reclining in the evening and a fully-equipped kitchen for rustling up Welsh-inspired dinners – if you haven’t made a reservation at a superb sea-front restaurant, that is. 

Spend sunny mornings breakfasting on the decking before slapping on your sun cream and exploring the coast. Rotherslade Bay is just a six-minute walk from your doorstep, while Mumbles Beach is a fifteen-minute stroll away. If you’re keen to explore a little further a field, jump in the car and head over to Swansea for fish and chips on the promenade and a mosey around the peaceful Clyne Gardens.

Nice to haves

This wonderful apartment will have the whole family singing its praises after a stay. Located on the ground floor of a large Victorian house, it's the ideal place to call home during a stay on the Gower Peninsul, one of Wales' best-loved spots. 

The house retains much of its original character – you'll love the period fireplaces, patterned floor tiles, and huge bay window that frames the gorgeous sea views. On sunny days, you can head outside for a closer look and sip a cup of coffee on the patio while the kids explore the sprawling shared gardens. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite dishes in the kitchen to share around the handsome dining table. And, there's no better way to round off an evening than with a singsong around the baby grand piano, or a tune on the Victorian harmonium. 

From here, you can join the coastal path to wander down into the heart of The Mumbles and treat yourself to an ice cream on the beach. Make sure you pay a visit to the historic pier then sip a pint of local ale in one of the charming pubs. And, if you walk in the opposite direction, you'll find plenty of wonderful sandy coves, including Caswell Bay and Pwll Du Beach.

Situated less than five minutes' walk from Mumbles seafront, this renovated fisherman's cottage is a charming address in a particularly picturesque corner of south Wales.

Aside from the exposed brickwork around the living room's fireplace, contemporary design is king here, with smart parquet flooring, chic furnishings and sparing use of colour all making for a space that's pleasing to the eye. The surfboard hanging on the dining room wall is a nice nod to the local area, while the views of Oystermouth Castle and Swansea Bay from the top-floor bedroom are rather special, too.

However, it's also a home that's innately cosy, too. After a bracing dip in the sea, it's easy to warm up next to the crackling log burner or in the large P-shaped bathtub. When the evenings are warm, the courtyard garden complete with an outdoor shower, a barbecue and alfresco seating is sure to be the setting for long feasts that stretch on into the night.

As countless families and groups of friends will attest, Mumbles is a fantastic location for an action-packed holiday and there are plenty of beaches to be discovered nearby, including Langland Bay four minutes' drive away. There's a good choice of restaurants, plus the Pier and Oystermouth Castle, that can be reached on foot, while the salt marshes and castles of the Gower AONB are but a short drive away.

Wine Cooler

Just when you think you've seen everything when it comes to interior design, you're presented with a kitchen complete with illuminated art installation centred around a large rock and you're rendered a little speechless. It shouldn't work, but we have to admire the chutzpah – you won't be short of conversation starters with guests at least.

Aside from this curio, the Victorian cottage is fairly conventional. There's a minimalist approach to decoration, with a strict colour palette of white and blue, plus only the bare necessities when it comes to furnishings – although there are a few eye-catching pieces, including the modern dining set.

The home benefits from a small terrace with some seating, but there are plenty of coastal attractions to explore nearby if the weather's on your side. Mumbles Beach is all of two minutes' walk away, but there are some more scenic seaside spots that are easily reachable on foot – Rothersalde Bay takes twenty minutes, for instance. Mumbles Pier is a quarter of an hour's walk away, too.

They Call it the Blues

Indulge in leisurely strolls along the waterfront or hop on a bike to uncover the breathtaking Swansea Bay area. Experience a plethora of charming bars, delectable restaurants, delightful ice cream parlours, and local shops, all within easy reach of your holiday let. No need to venture into the bustling town centre - everything you desire is right at your fingertips.

This truly fabulous destination offers something for everyone, whether you're a couple seeking a romantic escape or a family yearning for unforgettable moments. Discover local parks with fantastic play areas for the little ones, or savour the vibrant atmosphere of bars and restaurants for the grown-ups to relish.

Coastal Paradise Retreat

Sauna

The stunning coastal town of Mumbles has long attracted the rich and famous looking for a slower pace of life by the sea. Discover its lure for yourself at this picture-perfect cottage perched just moments from Mumble's bustling promenade. Stroll along to the Victorian pier and the iconic lighthouse for stunning views of the sea (twenty minutes on foot). Don your hiking boots and hit the coastal paths to explore the well-known local beaches of Rotherslade, Langland Bay, and Caswell Bay.  Or for something a little more genteel, while away the morning in the bustling shops and ice-cream parlours overlooked by Oystermouth Castle, before a spot lunch on the seafront. Back at this charming home, its azure blue painted exteriors may tick the boxes of a traditional Victorian cottage, but inside, it’s all sleek, modern interiors and open spaces. Groups of friends or family sharing will appreciate the two separate bathrooms and the light-filled bedrooms, which feel surprisingly spacious for such a twee seaside cottage like this one. Outside, you'll find a pocket-sized courtyard that's perfect for your morning coffee. Though with so much to explore on your doorstep, we suspect you won't be hanging around for long.

Into the Blues

Games Console

This warm and comfortable home is a great base for a family break. It’s ideally situated close to the shops, galleries and cafes of the Mumbles, as well as the beach – and there’s even an outdoor shower in the courtyard garden for you to rinse off sandy toes. When you want to explore further afield, you can drive along the Gower Peninsula to visit historic castles, stroll along the coast, and check out the beaches. This period home isn’t the flashiest in our collection, but we think it’s a homey spot and we love the location. 

On A Spring Sea

Relax in style with views of the gorgeous lighthouse in the distance as you reside in The Mumbles. Inside the home, you'll find nautical decor that fits the coastal destination, allowing you to truly feel as if you're by the ocean. Snuggle up together on the sofa to watch a movie on the TV, accompanied by a sneak peek of the beach through the window. Put the kettle on to enjoy a cup of tea as you socialise with your loved ones before whipping up a tasty home-cooked lunch in the sleek, monochrome kitchen. 

Tuck in at the dining table by the patio door, or if you're fancying an alfresco experience, enjoy a delicious plate of food on the patio itself under the sun. The patio is a wonderful spot to crack open a bottle of wine as you watch the sunset, bathing in the amber glow as you listen to the hum of the nearby ocean.

Spend a day at Limeslade Bay where you can dip your toes in the water and relax on the sand, paired with a refreshingly cool beverage. Explore the coastline as you make your way to the exciting Victorian Mumbles Pier, built in 1989 with a fishing platform and boathouse.

Sitting directly on Swansea's quay, this modern home is a contemporary respite from the hustle and bustle. It's about a twenty-minute walk from the city centre and twenty-five from the sprawling Swansea Beach, with bayfront cafes and restaurants within easy reach when you don't feel like cooking. As far as locations go, we think it's spot-on – especially with the glittering Swansea Bay practically on your doorstep.

Make the most of the seaside views on the balconies and terraces, which we think are the perfect spots to enjoy cups of coffee in the morning light and glasses of wine come sunset. On warm days, open the bi-fold doors and feel the sea breeze drift through the living area. Between the four stylish bedrooms, two comfy leather sofas and the six-seater dining table, there's more than enough space to spread out and get comfortable. Techy extras like a smart TV and Amazon Echo-dot will keep you entertained on rainy days, and home chefs will love rustling up tasty meals in the glossy kitchen. Unwind after a busy day with a relaxing soak in the whirlpool bathtub before bed – an excellent way to end the evening.

This bright apartment makes the most of its position in the tallest building in Wales, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with crisp light and jaw-dropping views. The furniture is modern and well-considered, but it takes a backseat to the unbeatable views over the Mumbles and Swansea Peninsula. Consider them your backdrop as you fix breakfast or dinner in the mezzanine. The home is equally close to the beach and Swansea town centre – a short five minutes’ walk – meaning it's a toss-up between dips in the sea or wandering around the shops. For meals out, restaurants, bars and pubs are within stumbling distance, though it's also worth having a car to explore this beautiful stretch of the South Wales coast.

Mariner's View

Get way off the beaten track at this gorgeous former smugglers' cottage on the stunning Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). In fact, it's so off-grid that you'll be required to leave your car in a secure spot and decamp into your host's Land Rover for the final mile, setting off down a rutted path and fording a stream before pulling up outside – setting the tone for an adventurous stay in the Welsh Wilderness.

First appearing in local records around 1700, the original part of this cottage is thought to be considerably older. After all, it wouldn't have served as a store for illicit contraband if its existence was known to everyone. Over time, it's been restored to create a rustic retreat that's equipped with all the mod cons required for a comfortable stay, including underfloor heating, a rolltop bath and an inglenook fireplace.

Another standout feature of this home is the charming cottage garden to the rear. Relax and breathe in the sea air as you sit out and sip a cup of tea out on the wildflower-dotted lawn before helping yourself to some fresh eggs, courtesy of the obliging hens.

A stay here is for those seeking those sought-after modern luxuries of peace and tranquillity – an all-too-rare chance to disconnect from the frenetic pace of life and enjoy setting fires to cook the catch of the day on the beach and moonlit swims in the sea. But, however long you decide to stay, we bet you'll wish it was longer.


Smugglers' Rest

Single-Level Home

Feel on top of the world in your plush penthouse overlooking the spectacular coastline of South Wales. Whether you’re getting together with friends or doing a bit of team building for work, you’ll be well catered for in this luxurious light-filled space. Floor-to-ceiling windows make it easy to soak up the panoramic views across Swansea Bay and Mumbles – particularly in the primary bedroom, where you can watch the waves roll in from the comfort of your superior quality bed. Entertaining comes effortlessly in the lavish boardroom, but if you’d prefer to kick back and relax, the cosy sitting room is just the ticket. City and seaside fans alike will rejoice at the location – your home has it all right on its doorstep. Whether it’s a long walk along the five-mile stretch of bay or taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling town centre, a short five-minute walk from your building, you’re never far from something to do. 

Swansea View

Stumbling upon this 350-year-old cottage feels like discovering a hidden gem. Sitting on the beach in Bishopston and surrounded by rugged countryside, you’ll find the only access to this home is by the owner’s private vehicle – setting the tone for a truly immersive stay on the Gower Peninsula. 

From the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the secluded and remote nature of this setting. Formerly a quarryman's house and a smuggler's inn, the owners have since restored this whitewashed cottage into a seaside sanctuary. 

Featuring a mix of traditional features alongside contemporary comforts, every detail has been considered to fill your stay with lightness and ease. So whether you’re staying cosy by the fire or exploring the delights of the garden, there’s a wonderful sense of character and charm to this home. 

Outside, you can roam freely across the (almost private) beach, dive into the sea, hike through the woods or explore the cliff-top coastal path. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides the perfect refuge for adventurous travellers – one that will inspire you long after you leave. 

Ship Cottage

If you want to get off the beaten track, then this coastal cottage is perfect for you. Only accessible via a rough track, it's a secluded spot by the sea where you can switch off and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. 

The building dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century, and blends its long history with modern comforts. You'll love the wooden beams and inglenook fireplace – on chilly evenings, you can light up the stove and get cosy. When the sun is shining, you can head outside to enjoy some alfresco drinks on the patio while the kids play on the lawn. And, you'll even have company – there is a family of friendly chickens who will happily provide you with eggs for your morning omelette.

As the home is right on the beach, you'll love spending time beside the water, admiring the views and even paddling on warm days. Serious hikers and casual walkers alike will enjoy exploring the nearby coastal path and surrounding countryside. And, if you fancy a change of scene, you can drive over into The Mumbles to visit the pier and have a pint of local ale in one of the pubs.

Ship Shape

Designed for group getaways and family reunions, this welcoming Blackpill home has everything you need for a comfortable stay on the stunning Welsh coast. Featuring a homely living room with street and garden views – plus a private patio, ideal for socialising – this is the perfect place to unwind with all your favourite people, offering plenty of thoughtful amenities to make your stay as relaxing as possible.  

Settle in for a film in front of the TV or keep little ones occupied with a game of tag in the garden. When it’s time to eat, put your cooking skills to the test in the fully equipped kitchen, then gather everyone around the dining table for a tasty, Welsh-inspired meal before heading out for an afternoon of sightseeing.  

With Swansea City Centre and Mumbles both just a ten-minute drive away, you don’t have to worry about being stuck for things to do here. Go for a swim in the sea at Mumbles Beach or head in the opposite direction and soak up some culture at Swansea Museum. Fancy exploring further afield? Why not head into Cardiff and embark on a whistle-stop tour of the city’s most famous landmarks? However you spend your days here, your cosy home from home has got you covered.

Lovespoon Lodge

Serenely positioned on the edge of a golf course, this cottage is bright and welcoming, with lovely angular skylights that illuminate the living areas and kitchen. We love the coastal, beachy feel, with deep blue furniture and curtains that contrast the pristine white walls. Put the massive kitchen to good use and start preparing a meal for the whole group to enjoy around the large wooden dining table, positioned with beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. Then head out onto the patio for a cocktail alongside the area's striking sunsets. You’ll be just a thirty minutes’ walk to the stunning Three Cliffs Bay – stop at the 12th-century ruins of Pennard Castle on the way, grab a bite at the popular Three Cliffs coffee shop or join the Wales Coastal Path for impressive views. Golfers, hikers and beach-goers will appreciate this wonderfully comfortable base, set in the middle of a gorgeous stretch of countryside and coast.

Milton

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat this Swansea apartment, close to the city’s best bits. This place will suit large groups or families who plan to spend most of their time on the go, whether that’s surfing at Rhossili Bay, walking clifftop paths, or exploring Swansea. The space might not be the most stylish, but the modern interiors are comfortable and functional. If the sun is shining, there’s an outdoor dinner set for alfresco dining in the garden.

The Mumbles View

Sitting directly above Langland Bay, this timber-clad home is a contemporary oasis. Sitting less than a mile from Langland Beach and Rotherslade Bay, you can spend every day sinking your toes into the sands, paddleboarding the waves and soaking up the sun if you so wish. Enjoy a good hike along the coastal path to Mumbles Pier where you’ll discover the Grade II listed Victorian structure, charming boutiques, renowned ice cream shops and of course,  local spots to enjoy fish and chips along the seafront.

Step into the bright open-plan living area to be met with glass walls that offer panoramic vistas of Langland Bay and across to Snaple Point.  Whether you’re waking up from a restful night’s sleep in your butter-soft sheets, sipping coffee on the sofa with your holiday read or gathering around the wooden dining table for an intimate soirée, the sparkling sea view will accompany you. The sleek kitchen opens out to a rear sun-soaked terrace – this is a host’s paradise – fire up the barbecue and enjoy afternoons with grilled seafood, fresh from the coast, and a glass of natural wine with your loved ones. 

Ocean Timber

Perfect for a pair, this retro apartment is nestled between two scenic beaches. Despite being a bit far from Swansea's centre, you'll be right on the coast – a worthwhile trade as it's only a fifteen-minute walk to Langland Bay and thirty to Mumbles. It's a top-floor apartment, so expect to climb some stairs – but that aside, you'll have a good amount of space here to chill out and unwind. There isn't a TV, so bring a book or a deck of cards to pass along the time. Or, switch off completely and spend all your time with your toes in the sea.

Retro Slice

This bright and spacious 2-bedroom home is perfect for a family or group of friends. It's located in the heart of Swansea, close to shops, restaurants, and all the attractions the city has to offer. The property features a fully equipped kitchen, a dishwasher, a smart TV with entertainment options, and free Wi-Fi. There's also a charming garden area with seating, perfect for enjoying the sun or a morning coffee.

City & Beach

Wales isn't necessarily the first place you think of when planning a seaside break in the UK, but we guarantee it will be after you visit here. This wonderful home will place you in a prime location to fully immerse yourself in the Gower – a stunning area to the south of the country. The apartment itself will leave you dreaming of the sea with incredible views looking out on Caswell Bay. The huge windows will bathe you in light while you enjoy your morning black coffee, and you'll have a fixed smile on your face when watching the sunset later in the day.

The best thing about this home is its close proximity to the sea. You can quite literally smell the fresh sea air here because Caswell Bay is a matter of minutes away on foot. Pack a picnic spread and stroll down to lush golden sands. Days out here with the family will be ones to cherish. Being situated in Gower, there's so much to do and see in this area. Why not discover one of the many picturesque coastal paths here? Tire yourself out exploring before finding a local pub to unwind in.

Sea Dreamer

Situated in the quiet Welsh village of Gowerton, this home has the air of a grand country hotel from the outside – an impression helped by the large grounds and pristine white facade. However, step behind the front door and you'll find somewhere full of homely charm, albeit with some top-notch amenities.

There are a wealth of sociable spaces, from the rather grand dining table next to a bay window and a snooker room to the sort of huge sleek kitchen that was simply made for entertaining. The host's predilection for chandeliers adds some pizzazz to the lounge and bedrooms, while the egg-shaped freestanding bathtub will be welcomed by those who love nothing more than a long soak.

If the weather forecast makes for happy reading while you're here, there are plenty of spaces to sit out on the terrace, as well as large lawns for playing. Once the sun starts to go down, why not retire to the hot tub with a glass of something ice-cold in hand?

When you're ready to see a little more of the local area, Gower Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty starts in under ten minutes' drive from the home and offers plenty of beaches, castles and unspoilt countryside. An alternative option is the city of Swansea, which only takes twenty minutes to reach in the car.

Secluded and peaceful, this traditional, luxurious home is a wonderful choice for a family getaway. Explore the amazing Gower Peninsula with ease while living like royalty in this grand house.

There's so much to love about this home. The decor is classic and elegant, while still being homely and inviting. We particularly love the grand dining room. We can just picture the family dinners along the banquet-style table, adding an extra touch of magic to this gorgeous place. While the rest of the home is traditional, the kitchen is wonderfully modern and equipped with everything you could need. Even the most reluctant of chefs will be tempted by its pearly white surfaces and huge kitchen island. Even if you're not the one cooking, you'll love spending time in this social space – chatting, playing board games, and listening to music. 

This home also benefits from a delightful garden, with steps leading down to your own football pitch. Enjoy catching up on the outdoor sofas and sipping on wine while the kids entertain themselves for hours on the pitch or explore the vast gardens. When you want to get out and explore yourself, you're just a short drive from Gower and its cliffs, woodlands, walking trails, sparkling beaches, and more. It was actually named the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956 – there's much to behold in this beautiful place.

Crescent Manor

Situated in the lovely village of Langland, this modern home is ideal for those seeking to sip coffee in the afternoon following a pleasant stroll to Snaple Point. Only a stone's throw from the distinguishing beach huts, maybe you'll head out on the water to try paddle boarding, then aim for a hole-in-one at the golf course. Cosy Mumbles sits just a short drive from here, beloved for its historic landmarks and Welsh-Italian ice cream parlours.

You'll love waking up to dreamy sea views through these floor-to-ceiling windows. Savour a slow morning indoors, plating up a hot breakfast in this glossy kitchen and making plans with your family for the day ahead. Feel that coastal breeze when you return to your contemporary courtyard for an evening barbecue – we think that there's no better spot to raise a glass at sunset. Settle in for a relaxing movie night with your dearest ones after you've washed your cares away in this Japanese-style bathtub.

Think of Nothing

Sitting right behind Langland Bay, this two-storey apartment offers a modern coastal getaway with stunning sea views. A private balcony lets you watch the waves rolling in – over morning coffees or celebratory sundowners – and the proximity to the sandy beach means there’s no end to the bracing walks and sun-soaking on offer. With free on-site parking too, you can explore the surrounding area with ease, including Mumbles and Swansea. And should you be an avid golfer, you’ll find Langland Bay Golf Club just a short stroll away.

Just a stroll from Oxwich Bay's long sandy beach, dubbed one of the finest in the country, this spacious home dates back to the 1840s. Extended and smartly modernised over the years, it still retains much of its old-world charm, with wood beams (thought to have been originally taken from a local shipwreck) and a delightful stone fireplace in the cosy living room – perfect for winter escapes. But if you're visiting in the summer months, this home has a rather special feature. In its private, walled courtyard you'll find a heated swimming pool.

Set on the crest of a hill, there are some excellent sea views to be had from the first floor – including from the roll-top bathtub. And there's a large conservatory where you can sit and enjoy the sunshine, with Georgian-style French doors opening out to a lovely sunny patio with outdoor sofas. Cooking at home will be a breeze in the large and well-equipped kitchen and if you're lucky with the weather you can choose to barbecue down by the pool.

Just a short walk from a restaurant and a hotel, there's also a local castle to explore and some of the best coastal footpaths are easily accessed from your door. Further afield, Rhossili is just a seventeen-minute drive and The Mumbles is twenty-five minutes away.

Ridge of the Bay

This striking home is located in the stunning Gower Peninsula, where beautiful coastlines and picturesque beaches are the norm.  Start your days in the sprawling garden, sipping your coffee in the hot tub – coupled with the birdsong, it’s such a tranquil way to start the day. If your canine chums have joined you on holiday, they can enjoy their morning sniffing around the garden as you plan out the day’s adventures – with beach walks aplenty, this is a trip they won’t want to miss out on. After a little soak, you can head inside to the country-style kitchen and whip up a breakfast before heading out for a day of invigorating coastal air. 

With the beaches of Langland and Caswell Bay nearby, you can get your sea fix in no time – or slightly further afield, head to Mumbles. After a day out walking the coastal paths or visiting the local castles, on returning home, the log burner is the most idyllic way to enjoy some rest and relaxation. On winter evenings, wrap your hands around a hot chocolate and enjoy a movie night. As the sun sets in the summer, the terrace has been designed with alfresco dining in mind. This truly is a home for all seasons, and one that guarantees wonderful memories. 

Follow the Dragonflies

There's so much we love about this stylish cabin – the attention to detail here is fantastic. First of all we have to mention the gorgeous copper roll-top bath, but the real highlight is the hot tub on the deck with its fabulous salt marsh and sea views. Enjoy the vistas at sunset with a glass of fizz or do a spot of stargazing (the sky around these parts is rated as class four on the Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, don't you know). You can also enjoy the landscape from inside, thanks to the three-stage bi-folding doors that let the outdoors into this cosy studio space.

With a lovely setting near the hamlet of Landimore on the north coast of the Gower, there's plenty to explore. Head to the area's fabulous beaches – it's no wonder the locale is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


Bay Retreat

Looking for a home with a millionaire's view of the mighty South Gower Coast? Then this handsome South Wales cottage just a fifteen-minute stroll from Oxwich Bay, one of Gower's largest sandy beaches, should do the trick.
 
Inside, this home feels expansive yet full of charm. Discover countless cosy snugs with obligatory wood-burning fires to curl up beside and a table tennis table and snooker table if you fancy a change of pace. While upstairs, each elegant bedroom with its own ensuite offers up sensational vistas of the bay.

But it's back downstairs in that open-plan kitchen and dining area leading out on the magnificent terrace that's the real clincher. Slide back the bifolds and start your morning with coffees on the terrace or toast the day's end with sunset mealtimes around the dining table – those sea views will be right there with you. 

When it's time to blow the cobwebs away, Three Cliffs Bay and Oxwich Bay (both dog-friendly) offer a plethora of walks for every ability. Or head for the giant dunes on either side of Three Cliffs valley – a hit for kids (and big kids).
 
When tummies start to rumble, you're just a five-minute drive from postcard-pretty Oxwich, or in the opposite direction, Parkmill with local inns aplenty for all the hearty grub, real ales, and warm welcomes you're chasing.

Gower Power

XBox

Jutting off the south coast of Wales, the Gower peninsula was the first area in the UK to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but it's not just the bucolic landscape that's worthy of praise – homes like this deserve a share of the credit, too.

From the front, the stone facade looks as rustic as can be, but you'll see that plenty of modern additions have been made in recent years. It's hard to pick out a standout space – the light-filling dining room with bifold doors will elevate even the most mundane of breakfasts, while the living room with the log-burning fireplace and snooker table has all the cosiness of your favourite pub. The minimalist kitchen replete with sleek surfaces is also another strong contender.

You'll also be happy to learn that the address is blessed with excellent outdoor space, too. The patio immediately through the glass doors has an alfresco dining table that's ready and waiting for summer feasts, plus there's also a well-kept lawn as well. To top it all off, there are peaceful sea views to be admired on the far horizon, too.

If this tempts you to make a trip to the seaside, you don't have too far to travel. Oxwich Bay can be reached in fifteen minutes on foot and continues along to the limestone formations of Three Cliffs Bay. Nicholaston Wood is just over five minutes' walk away too and makes for a peaceful place to wander about.
