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.
