    “Salt Cottage is a delightful property in a magnificent position.”

    We know the area very well so there were no difficulties locating the cottage. The premises had been very tastefully setup and decorated, however, as time has past, it appears some parts have not been renewed or kept to the same standard. The kitchen cooking pans are not in a usable condition. We booked for 10 days and had to live out of a suitcase because the wardrobe and draws were packed with additional quilts, pillows and towels. The drains outside the back door were constantly blocked ...

    We know the area very well so there were no difficulties locating the cottage. The premises had been very tastefully setup and decorated, however, as time has past, it appears some parts have not been renewed or kept to the same standard. The kitchen cooking pans are not in a usable condition. We booked for 10 days and had to live out of a suitcase because the wardrobe and draws were packed with additional quilts, pillows and towels. The drains outside the back door were constantly blocked and flooded which caused a foul smell into the utility room. If the above (and a few more minor problems) were addressed then, Salt Cottage, would deserve a 'perfect' rating as a spot to stay. We love it.

The property

1 Salt Cottage is an idyllic cottage, located stunningly right on the coast at Port Eynon on the Gower Peninsula with uninterrupted sea views and access to the beach.

This quaint cottage is perfect for couples or a solo traveller, as it is peaceful and has character features, making it a fantastic space for a well-deserved break.

When you walk into the cottage, the living/dining room is the first thing you see.

It's a great place to cuddle up with your significant other in front of the wood burning stove or to dine over a romantic meal at the dining table, overlooking the coast.

The kitchen has everything you need to prepare tasty picnics to enjoy on the beach or in the lovely garden where you will also find a barbecue and pizza oven to provide alternative cooking options while you enjoy the fresh sea air.

Upstairs, you can rest your head in the double bedroom and then wake up to that incredible view before an invigorating shower will prepare you for the day ahead!

1 Salt Cottage - a wonderful retreat for an unforgettable break.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1103941, together sleeping up to nine guests.

The Salt Cottages

Settled on the coast and enjoying enviable views of the sea in Port Eynon, Swansea, are The Salt Cottages. The Salt Cottages are a pair of charming holiday homes, one of which is great for couples, and the other providing a lovely base for a family. This collection boasts access to a beach, shared access to a multi-level garden with a pizza oven, nearby permit parking, along with stylish interiors throughout! Within the immediate area, you can stroll along the sandy stretches of coastline or pop into the local pub for a refreshment, before making your way to the tip of Gower with the equally breathtaking views afforded at Rhossili and Worms Head. Travelling a little further east will bring you to Swansea which offers a vibrant and eclectic mix of culture, history, and nature that is easily accessible by car from the cottage. There are several major attractions in the area, including the National Waterfront Museum, Plantasia Tropical Zoo and the family friendly LC2 Leisure Centre where you can swim, play, surf, climb and much more all under one roof! Enjoy the numerous restaurants, pubs, and shops and make sure to visit neighbouring Mumbles for an ice cream at the ever excellent Verdi's! Then return to your base camp on the coast after a day of adventure and soak up the magical surroundings of The Salt Cottages.
