Coynant Farm B&B & Cottages

A working farm with animals and fishing lakes near Swansea and the Gower

Coynant Farm offers bed and breakfast rooms and self-catering cottages on a genuine working farm in the countryside near Swansea, on the edge of the Gower Peninsula and the Swansea Valley. Set around a characterful old farmhouse on a 200-acre farm, it is a fun, memorable base for families — with rare-breed animals, emus and alpacas to meet and two well-stocked fishing lakes — while keeping the beaches of the Gower and the city of Swansea within easy reach. Between the rooms and cottages it sleeps up to ten.

Rooms, cottages and farm life

The accommodation mixes comfortable bed and breakfast rooms (with private bathrooms) and self-catering cottages, so it suits couples, families and small groups alike. Rooms come with the practical touches you want — TV, tea and coffee, fridge and microwave — and there is guest access to kitchen facilities, with a self-service breakfast included on the B&B side. It is a relaxed, hands-on sort of place where the farm is part of the experience.

Animals and fishing on site

This is what sets Coynant apart, especially for families. The farm is home to rare-breed animals, alpacas, emus and plenty of other friendly creatures to meet, and there are two attractive fishing lakes on site, stocked with carp — a real bonus for keen anglers. With 200 acres to enjoy, free private parking and free WiFi, it is an easy and entertaining base for a family holiday close to the coast.

Who it suits

Coynant Farm is a natural fit for families with children who will love the animals and the open space, and for anglers drawn to the on-site lakes. Couples and small groups wanting a peaceful, rural base near Swansea and the Gower are well served too. It is a working farm rather than a polished hotel, and it does not accept pets, so it is best for visitors who want authentic countryside, farm animals and easy access to the Gower’s beaches rather than hotel-style facilities.
