The Gower Peninsula offers 30 acres of rolling land, miles of unspoilt coastline, and easy reach of beaches, cliff walks and the Mumbles lighthouse. Ty Cae Mawr is a single-storey cottage at one end of a small row, with its own raised terrace and garden furniture overlooking a large lawned garden with a sitting area. Everything is on the ground floor: the open-plan living and dining room has an electric fire and wooden flooring, a fitted kitchen for self-catering, a twin bedroom with two 3ft single beds, and an ensuite shower room.
Essentials like bed linen, towels, wi-fi and heating are included. There is parking for one car on site, plus use of a shared games room with table tennis and a pool table. A nearby cycle track connects to the Mumbles; Penclawdd, famous for its cockle fishermen and horse-drawn carts on the mudflats, is 3 miles away. The coastline itself has sandy beaches, rock pools, dunes suitable for windsurfing, and a coastal path with cliff-top views. No smoking is permitted. This property is for adults only.

What guests say
My wife, 2 young children and I, had never been to this area before. We'd heard it was beautiful and wanted to ensure we booked a nice cottage for the stay, and boy we struck gold. The location was on a farm, with some lovely animals nearby, and had the quietness of being rural, but also there were shops within walking distance. The cottage was situated perfectly to visit before North and South coasts. We mainly done South as were advised better for children. The cottage itself was lovely. Had plenty of character, all the facilities you'd expect (and more). Plenty of space for the 4 of us too. Reliable WiFi (although we don't let WiFi determine our choices of where to holiday). Car parking is private and right outside the cottage. Games room round the side too with table tennis and a pool table. The biggest stand out for us was the host - David. He lives in the house just down the way, and has ample knowledge of the area and makes you feel at home straight away. He grew up nearby so there's little he doesn't know. He was super responsive the 1 occasion where we needed him to move a vehicle for us, which gave us comfort he was nearby too. Honestly cannot thank David enough. Overall this HAS to get 5 stars from us.

The cottage we stayed in was perfect for what we needed. It is clean and comfortable and the host was friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for trips out on the Gower with no where being more than half an hours drive, even Rosilli Beach at the far end. The only problem the cottage has is that we don't own it!

Lovely cottage, friendly owner, lovely welcome bits. Great location to explore the Gower. Within easy reach of Cardiff and Swansea. Short walk to train station for easy access.
