The location of Holly Tree Lodge is nigh on perfect, given that you can walk to Three Cliffs Bay in 15 minutes and other fabulous beaches such as Oxwich and Rhossili are just a short drive away. The cottage had a great lounge area and beautifully laid out garden, and a patio with large dining table and benches is perfect for al fresco dining. Some Read morebuilding work being undertaken will create a kitchen diner which will improve the house further. A comfortable and roomy house. Hide

Holly Tree Lodge was absolutely amazing to stay in, very comfortable and had everything we needed, including kitchen facilities for the keen cooks in the family. The upstairs was a wonderful bonus with great space for reading. The sofas were comfy and the dining table had ample space for our party of 8 adults.
