Gower Holiday Cottages

The rich and dramatic landscape that surrounds Gower holiday cottages forms part of one of the most attractive areas in South-West Wales. The Gower is a restful, picturesque seascape of salt marshes, dunes and sweeping, golden beaches. Information about Gower cottages follows this guide.

The Gower Peninsula running from Swansea to the Mumbles Head consists of a coastline with hidden coves and dramatic seascapes. The region is peppered with numerous fishing villages such as Port Eynon. There is also a good selection of golden beaches.

The salt marshes of the Loughor Estuary, located to the west, are home to an abundance of wildlife, with many sea species protected by the Whiteford National Nature Reserve. This is an area of windswept dunes, gentle rolling hills and and wooded vales.
