The Gower peninsula

The Gower was the very first place in Britain to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and it is easy to see why. It is famous for the golden three-mile sweep of Rhossili Bay, regularly voted among the best beaches in the world, for the much-photographed Three Cliffs Bay, and for the surf at Llangennith. From a base on the edge of the peninsula you can be on a different beach each day. For more places to stay in the area, see our guide to accommodation in Swansea and Gower.

Days out from the house

Gower rewards a week of exploring. Walk out to the tidal island of Worm’s Head at Rhossili, stroll the dunes and castle ruins at Pennard above Three Cliffs, or potter around the pretty seaside village of Mumbles with its pier, ice-cream and independent shops. Caswell and Oxwich are gentle, family-friendly bays, while the city of Swansea adds its marina, market and the Dylan Thomas connections. Walkers can pick up the Wales Coast Path, which traces the whole peninsula, and there are castles, blowholes and clifftop viewpoints around almost every headland.

Who it suits

Garrod Avenue is built for bigger parties. With five bedrooms and room for ten, it is ideal for multi-generational family holidays, groups of friends and reunions where everyone wants to stay under one roof rather than spread across several places. The generous living space gives the group somewhere to gather in the evenings, while the location on the edge of the peninsula keeps Gower’s beaches and the city of Swansea both within easy reach. It is a comfortable, good-value option for the kind of relaxed group getaway the Gower does so well — beach days, coastal walks and long lunches, with a roomy base to come back to.

Practical and well-placed

Being on the outskirts rather than deep in the peninsula has real advantages: you avoid the narrow lanes and summer traffic of the busiest spots while still being a short drive from the sand. Swansea’s shops, restaurants and supermarkets are close for stocking up, and the M4 keeps the property easy to reach for groups travelling from further afield.
