Apricot Cottage

Apricot Cottage is a charming, stylish holiday home in the serene village of Port Eynon, at the southern tip of the Gower Peninsula. Sleeping four and just a couple of hundred metres from the golden sands of Port Eynon Bay, it is a perfect spot for a small family or couple seeking the tranquillity — and the spectacular beaches — of the Gower coast, with a welcome for dogs too.

A charming cottage by Port Eynon beach

This is a comfortable, well-presented cottage in a lovely seaside village. The bright, open-plan ground floor combines a lounge, kitchen and dining area, with comfortable reclining sofas, a TV and DVD, and a welcoming flame-effect gas fire. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms sleep four in comfort, and the cottage is dog-friendly, so the whole family can come along.

The village and the beach

Port Eynon has a relaxed, friendly community feel, with a clutch of seafood restaurants, welcoming pubs and a fish and chip shop, and the sprawling sands of Port Eynon Bay just a couple of hundred metres away — ideal for picnics, sandcastles, swimming and rock-pooling. The historic Salt House ruins sit at the end of the beach.

Where it is

Port Eynon is the most southerly point of the Gower, with a relaxed village feel and a glorious Blue Flag bay at its heart. Apricot Cottage sits just back from the sand, with the village’s pub, shops and seafood spots a short walk away.

Things to do nearby

Port Eynon is a wonderful launchpad for the wild western Gower. The wide sands of the bay are perfect for picnics, sandcastles, swimming and rock-pooling, and from the beach the Wales Coast Path climbs out past the curious Culver Hole towards the long, dramatic walk to Rhossili and Worm’s Head — regularly voted among Britain’s best beaches. Oxwich Bay and the rest of the peninsula’s award-winning sands are a short drive away.

Who it suits

With its room for four, cosy gas fire and welcome for dogs, Apricot Cottage is ideal for a couple or small family who want a relaxed, well-placed base close to the beach and village. Being just a short walk from the sand makes it especially good for a car-light seaside break with the family pet.

Good to know

Being just a couple of hundred metres from the beach and a short walk from the village, you can leave the car and enjoy Port Eynon on foot, from the sand to the pub. The gas fire makes it inviting outside the summer months, and the dog-friendly welcome means the whole family can come along. The bright open-plan living and the two en-suite bathrooms make it a comfortable, easy base for a couple or small family, with the beach and the coast path just a short walk away. Booking ahead is recommended for the school holidays.
