Barlands Cottage Gower Holiday Cottage

Set in three acres of private grounds, Barlands Cottage is a 250 year old house full of character and charm, and may be described as a quiet countryside retreat nestling between two Gower villages within 5 minutes walking. The glorious beaches and coastal walks of Gower being minutes away.

We are situated in the National Trust Bishopston Valley which is located between Kittle and Bishopston villages. Mumbles, a quaint Victorian seaside town, is a 10 minute drive away as is Swansea University. The City of Swansea, famous for our illustrious poet Dylan Thomas and film star Catherine Zeta Jones, a 15 minute drive. Cardiff, Wales’ Capital City, where the annual Wales Rally GB (Network Q Rally) finishes , is a 45 minute drive.

Enjoy luxurious 4 star accommodation, and a warm welcome from Maddy and Nick, who will endeavor to provide all you might need. Accommodation in our B&B includes en suite; TV; and tea and fresh coffee making facilities in your room. You can find a breakfast menu further along the web site. We would ask you to refrain from smoking in the bedroom, though you would be allowed in another part of the house. See "Barlands Old Stable" for self catering accommodation.

Barlands Cottage is in an ideal position for Gower beaches and excellent walking. Three golf courses are within a 5 minute drive, as are three horse riding activity centres www.parclebreos.co.uk. Why not learn to surf with “gsd Gower Surfing Development” www.gowersurfing.com? Enjoy endless off road cycling with half day, full day and weekly bike hire available locally from Three Cliffs Outdoor Leisure. They are open all year round and also provide a delivery service www.threecliffs.co.uk. Book a leisure sail on the luxury Legend 43ft yacht Euphoria, or hire a super fast sports boat and enjoy the thrill of speed at sea with “Euphoria Sailing” www.euphoriasailing.com. We can book and make arrangements for all the above activities for you.

Pwlldu Bay

Enjoy the day exploring the exceptionally beautiful Bishopston Valley, which has a fascinating history of smuggling, past industry and interesting geology. Follow the river from Barlands Cottage as it meanders through the valley to where it opens out onto Pwlldu Bay. Here you can enjoy a quiet swim and picnic (packed lunches can be provided) on the unspoilt beach.

At the end of the day you then have the convenience of choosing between three good pubs serving food, one of which - The Joiners Arms - has its own micro brewery producing award winning real ale. Within minutes walking distance from the cottage. You will not have even stepped into your car!
