Malt Hall

A spacious historic farmhouse for large groups on the Gower

Set at Llanrhidian on the wild, marshy north coast of the Gower Peninsula, this magnificent historic farmhouse is built for bringing people together. It sleeps up to fifteen across eight bedrooms, with generous, characterful living space and a warm welcome for dogs — making it a natural choice for a big family gathering, a special celebration or a get-together with friends in one of the most beautiful corners of South Wales. The Gower was the first place in Britain to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and this farmhouse puts you right in the heart of it.

Room for the whole party

Eight bedrooms sleep up to fifteen people, so even a large group has space to spread out, with characterful communal areas to gather in for meals and evenings together. The scale of the place is the point: rather than booking several rooms or separate cottages, everyone can stay under one roof, which is exactly what you want for a reunion, a milestone birthday or a multi-generational family holiday. Dogs are welcome too, so the whole family can come along.

A genuine sense of place

This is a historic farmhouse with real character, set in the distinctive landscape of north Gower — a world of salt marsh, wide skies and grazing ponies. It is a peaceful, rural spot that still keeps the beaches and villages of the peninsula within easy reach, giving you the best of both: quiet at home, and plenty to do close by.

Who it suits

Malt Hall is ideal for larger groups who want a single, spacious base on the Gower — families spanning a couple of generations, groups of friends, or a gathering for a special occasion. Walkers and beach-lovers are spoilt for choice, with the coast path and some of Britain’s finest beaches a short drive away, and the dog-friendly welcome means nobody has to be left behind. It is best for those who want space, character and countryside rather than a town-centre location; if your group is large and you want everyone together, it is hard to beat.

Llanrhidian and the Gower

Llanrhidian sits on the wild north coast of the Gower, famous for its salt-marsh-grazed lamb, its cockles and the wild ponies that roam the marsh, with the medieval ruins of Weobley Castle close by. The rest of the peninsula is a short drive away: the golden three-mile sweep of Rhossili Bay, the surf beach at Llangennith, and the much-photographed Three Cliffs Bay, all linked by the Wales Coast Path.

Made for getting together

A house this size really comes into its own at mealtimes and in the evenings, when everyone can gather around one big table or relax together in the communal rooms — far more sociable than splitting a group across separate cottages or hotel rooms. Self-catering on the Gower also means you can make the most of the local larder, from salt-marsh lamb and cockles to fresh fish, cooking up a feast for the whole party. Beyond the farmhouse, the lively waterfront at Mumbles, the city of Swansea and the beaches at Oxwich and Port Eynon are all an easy drive for days out.
