Where do we start with this enormous home in the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? With enough beds to sleep a large group of friends or an extended family, it's truly somewhere special. The manor house dates back to the 1600s and is elegant and traditional in style, with a large drawing room and a dining space that's big enough for everyone to eat together. There are also plenty of extras that truly give this home the 'wow' factor – you'll love the indoor heated pool, sauna and children's lounge with a pool table and pinball. There's also softball tennis and a skittle alley in the barn, not to mention the indoor balcony with ping-pong and shuffleboard. Outside, you'll find a twelve green pitch-and-put course, along with a field next door for picnics and rambling – there's absolutely no chance of being bored here. Plus, it's a fifteen-minute walk from your front door down to Great Tor Bay, where you can dip your toes in the sea or take a bracing walk along the sand – whatever the weather, you're guaranteed to have a smile on your face.

About The Gower Peninsula
When it comes to Britain’s best beaches, the Gower takes some beating. Rhossilli’s mantlepiece must be sagging with all the gongs it's received over the years. And there are many more – equally lovely – sandy spots to while away your days or get your heart racing on this 19-mile long peninsula. This is a surfing hotspot, particularly the breaks at Llangennith and Langland, and a haven for family holidays....
