Penmaen House

Penmaen House is a handsome country house at Nicholaston, on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula, with glorious views over Three Cliffs Bay — one of the most photographed beaches in Britain. Sleeping fifteen across seven bedrooms, with a log burner and a ground-floor bedroom, it is built for the big occasion: a multi-generational family holiday, a special celebration or a gathering of friends in an unforgettable setting.

Where it is

Penmaen House sits at Nicholaston, on the southern coast of the Gower Peninsula — Britain’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You can browse more places to stay across the area on our Swansea & Gower accommodation page.

Things to do nearby

This is one of the finest stretches of coast in Wales. Three Cliffs Bay, with its triple-peaked headland and the ruins of Pennard Castle above, is right on the doorstep, and the long golden sweeps of Oxwich and Port Eynon are a short drive west. Walkers have the Gower Coast Path and the dunes of Nicholaston Burrows; the famous beach at Rhossili and the causeway to Worms Head lie at the tip of the peninsula. Mumbles, with its cafés and seafront, and the city of Swansea are an easy drive east.

Who it suits

With room for fifteen across seven bedrooms, a ground-floor bedroom and a welcome for two dogs, Penmaen House is made for large family gatherings, celebrations and groups of friends. The setting above Three Cliffs Bay makes it genuinely memorable, with plenty of space indoors and some of Wales’s best beaches outside.

Good to know

The ground-floor bedroom makes the house workable for guests who prefer to avoid stairs, and the log burner and generous living space make it a comfortable base whatever the weather. The view over Three Cliffs Bay is the real treat, and a house of this size is genuinely hard to come by on Gower, which makes it a popular choice for big family holidays and celebrations.
