Situated between the mountainous countryside of the Brecon Beacons and the coastal location of Gower, this property allows families and friends to enjoy the best of both worlds. Set on a 36 acre farm, there is plenty to explore in the surrounding area on foot, including a stunning woodland walk. The village of Pontardawe is under a mile away, offering a small selection of independent shops, pubs and eateries making the perfect place to refuel. For a trip into the city, Swansea is just 8 miles away, with fantastic shopping options, a watersports centre and a water park which is great for kids.

The open-plan living/dining area is the heart of the home, with leather sofas and a TV, making for a great entertainment space. For mealtimes, the kitchen has all you could need to prepare a feast and a breakfast bar for morning coffee, whilst the dining table seating 6 is just around the corner.. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom paired with an en-suite wet room for easy accessibility. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms with neutral decor which both enjoy en-suite bathrooms with half-sized baths giving all guests their own privacy.

Outside is a patio area with a sun room and bench to make the most of the serene views from the hillside. ½ an acre of lawns are shared with another cottage, complete with a wooden gazebo and BBQ for entertaining on warm evenings.

The memory we made at The Cottage is just in simple words ...priceless. Jane made sure right from the start that we would have a very pleasant time at her cottage. We had a lovely welcome basket full of treats and even something for my puppy. That really touched our hearts. The Cottage was in pristine condition and we had absolutely everything we nRead moreeeded there. Only had to buy fresh food. Kitchen was super well equipped and there was also a coffee and hot chocolate machine which my kids enjoyed in the mornings. The Cottage was very spacious and clean and super cozy ....in simple words just a beautiful well maintained home. The views around The Cottage were just unreal and I found exactly what I was searching for ...bliss and peace. Very close to Pontedarvey so extremely convenient for food and goodies shopping. If you are looking to escape the madness of this world but yet be close enough to humanity then this Cottage is the ideal place. I will definitely be going back there again as I left a tiny bit of my heart there. Jane ...no other words for you ...just simply THANK YOU. Hide

We had a lovely time in this imaginatively converted barn. Wish it had been longer. It was very comfortable, and well-appointed. The bedrooms are quite compact, due to the design of the accommodation, and the beds a bit small for someone on the larger size. However, it's not easy to find a holiday property which has 3 bedrooms, one being groundRead more floor, each with ensuite, and which accepts 2 dogs, so we were very lucky to find this lovely place. I was blissfully comfortable in my bed. The welcome pack was very generous and a lovely surprise. The setting is idyllic, with lovely views and walks. All in all, we'd love to visit again. Hide
