Things to do nearby

This is a great base for the western Gower — Britain’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The wide sands of Port Eynon Bay are nearby, perfect for swimming, rock-pooling and sandcastles, and the Wales Coast Path leads west to the dramatic headland of Worm’s Head and the famous three-mile sweep of Rhossili Bay. Oxwich Bay and the iconic Three Cliffs Bay are a short drive away, with woodland walks and country pubs all around this beautiful corner of the peninsula.

Who it suits

With room for six, a ground-floor bedroom and a safe enclosed garden, Lilac House is ideal for families — including those with younger children or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs — and dog owners wanting a relaxed base close to the Gower’s southern beaches. The log burner makes it just as appealing outside the summer months.

Good to know

The ground-floor double and shower room make Lilac House a flexible, family-friendly choice, and the enclosed garden is a real bonus for those with children or a dog. Overton and Port Eynon are close by for the beach, pubs and essentials. It is a popular area in summer, so booking ahead is recommended for the school holidays. The open-plan living with its log burner makes a sociable heart to the cottage, and the quiet village setting close to Port Eynon gives the best of both peace and the beach. With the coast path and the western Gower beaches all within easy reach, there is plenty to fill a week.
