Idyllically positioned on the Gower Peninsula in south west Wales, rests this charming end of terrace holiday cottage, Hillcrest. Framing spectacular coast and countryside views, whilst enjoying close proximity to a wonderful selection of amenities and attractions, Hillcrest makes the perfect base for an adventure to south west Wales. Step inside and discard your shoes and coats as you enter into the handy porchway, before making your way through to the snug sitting room, where you can look forward to putting your feet up with a cup of tea as your favourite film plays on the TV. When stomachs start to rumble, move through the property to the well-equipped kitchen, where the designated chef can rustle up delectable dishes utilising the electric oven and hob, whilst the handy washing machine is perfect for freshening up any sandy holiday attire! On sunny days, take a glass of wine and soak in the peaceful greenery surrounding your new home-from-home. At the end of a long day spent exploring the coast and country, pour in the bubbles and unwind with a soak in the bath before snuggling up under the covers of one of three bedrooms, one double and two single rooms (one of which has a small double bed). Take advantage of your close proximity to the coast and head to Oxwich Bay beach to spend a lazy afternoon lounging amongst the golden sands, or thrill seekers can tackle the waves with a spot of jet skiing or kayaking with expert tuition available. After working up an appetite, head to the elegant Beach House Restaurant to indulge in a spot of fine dining, or for a more relaxed affair, savour fresh fish and chips from Oxwich Beach Café and a stroll along the coast. Lace up your walking boots and embark on a two-footed adventure through the varying landscapes of the Gower AONB, with its woodlands, secluded coves and historical landmarks waiting to be explored. For more coastal adventures, jump in the car and take a scenic drive to the pretty village of Mumbles, home to a Grade II listed Victorian pier, a lighthouse dating back to 1794 and the regal ruins of Oystermouth Castle. With all of this and more, choose Hillcrest as your base for a memorable holiday.

Ideally located for travelling around the Gower. The owner was very pleasant and provided helpful information prior to our arrival. We were reassured that if any issues arose the owner would have no hesitation in providing kind assistance. We were pleased we had booked this particular accommodation and would definitely return in the future. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hillcrest.

Everything that we needed was there and the house was spotless. Lovely garden and the property is set in wonderful scenery and is in a good location for exploring the Gower
Susan
Good location for exploring the Gower. Helpful neighbour on hand to sort out any issues. Our dog was able to jump over the wall so had to be supervised in the garden.
