And at the end of each day, the cottage will be waiting . Light the woodburner or fire pit , grab a drink and a good book , relax and let time drift ...

Beautiful house, excellent location
This house has more space that you’d think, is comfortable, clean and has everything you need. The communication with both owner and manager was prompt and very friendly with some great local tips. The house location was brilliant for us, with a 10 min walk from Mumbles and also from Langland. I would look to stay at this property again when we’re back in the area. Thank you to John and Rebecca!
