Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage is situated just 150m from the beach and walking distance to all the local amenities including pub, restaurant, takeaways to suit all the family, a coffee shop, surf shop and general stores for provisions. The perfect location to relax or from which to explore all that the Gower Peninsula has to offer including its coastal path, surfing spots, golf courses and more. Ivy Cottage is formed by combining our Port Eynon and Oxwich View Beach Cottages. The cottages are linked by a connecting door on the first floor and the dining area in Port Eynon Beach Cottage can accommodate all 14 guests - great for two families holidaying together or extended family get togethers. The cottages are finished to a high standard with a wood-burning stove in each for those days when you need warming up or to enjoy curling up in front of after a full day outdoors. Outside there are dedicated lawned gardens for BBQ’s or for the children to burn off any excess energy! Port Eynon Beach Cottage accommodates 8 and consists of a ground floor entrance lobby and cloakroom with toilet, fully equipped large kitchen, separate lounge and dining room, and a flexible double/twin bedroom with ensuite. The first floor has a further 2 flexible double/twin bedrooms and one double room with ensuite. There is a family bathroom, with a bath, shower, and toilet. The cottage has WIFI throughout and a TV and DVD plyer in the lounge. Oxwich View Beach Cottage accommodates 6 and consists of a ground floor entrance lobby and cloakroom with toilet, fully equipped kitchen, separate lounge/dining room. A private patio can be accessed through french windows in the kitchen/living area. The first floor features a master bedroom with super king size bed and ensuite, a double bedroom, and a twin bedroom, plus family bathroom on the first floor. The cottage has WIFI throughout and a TV and DVD player in the lounge. Port Eynon is the most southerly point of the Gower peninsula and surrounded by stunning coast and countryside vistas - there is nothing like the view over the village with the sea stretching to the horizon as you begin your descent down into Port Eynon via the winding lane. The former fishing village is a popular beach resort and although there is no port as the name suggests, it was once dominated by oyster fishing and the remains of the oyster pools and old harbour can be seen at low tide. The Blue Flag beach is backed by magnificent sand dunes to stretch your legs. Walking to the west, the Salt House ruins at the headland are a favourite walking destination and were once used by smugglers, whilst to the east you will find Horton or for those with more energy the beach provides direct access to the coastal path. Rainy day? A short car journey will deliver you to Mumbles village which has a wide range of attractions from Oystermouth Castle and its Victorian pier to a range of independent boutiques, quirky galleries, and eateries.
