The open-plan living space features a modern kitchen with induction hob and dishwasher, dining for eight and lounge with electric fireplace and Smart TV. The enclosed patio includes a private hot tub serviced between bookings.

The Michelin-starred Beach House restaurant sits on Oxwich's shore (5-minute walk). Gower Distillery offers tours (15 minutes, 6 miles). The Mumbles provides galleries and eateries (25 minutes, 12 miles). Rhossili Bay ranks among Britain's best beaches (35 minutes, 16 miles).
