Sleeping 

Choose from three gorgeous bedrooms, each with their own ensuite. The master bedroom is a wide, airy space with a soft coastal palette that brings the beach to mind. The super king (or twin) bed is adorned in cloud-soft linens and wrapped with throws for exquisite lie-ins, and there are bedside tables, a dressing table, and a chair thoughtfully placed throughout. It's a fantastic place to begin and end each day, with windows framing views of the gardens and the surrounding coastline landscapes. The magnificent ensuite, which also features an Albion Torre duo bath and a sizable walk-in double shower, radiates luxury with earthy tones and polished stone. 

The lovely personality and distinctive design of this boutique homestay are reflected in the second bedroom, which boasts a vaulted ceiling and an exposed feature wall. The bedroom's rustic aspects are served alongside attractive touches and exquisite furnishings for a space that is all about comfort. It boasts a super-king bed that can be split into twins and is draped in excellent linens, as well as a two-seater sofa. Look out over the countryside or up at the clear skies of the Gower while staring out of low-set windows that frame the vistas and a skylight window. A separate bathroom with white tiles and a shower for those early-morning hours is also included in this bedroom. 

The open third bedroom's design, which features a vaulted ceiling, exposed stone, and soft, neutral colours, is in keeping with the cottage's traditional aesthetic.
