Description

Ivy Cottage is a beautifully designed reverse-level holiday home set within the peaceful grounds of Gower Retreats (formerly Oldwalls Gower), located in North Gower on the stunning Gower Peninsula. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and surrounded by rolling countryside and open skies, the cottage offers a refined yet relaxed escape that feels both grounded and indulgent.

Designed to make the most of its setting, the layout places the sleeping accommodation on the ground floor, creating calm, private spaces to retreat to at the end of the day. There are king-size bedroom and 1 x Twin, each beautifully finished and benefitting from their own en-suite bathroom, complete with a bath, shower over, basin and WC. Both bedrooms also feature Smart TVs, offering comfort and privacy for couples, families or friends sharing.

The first floor is dedicated to social living and relaxation. Here you’ll find a light-filled open-plan space combining a kitchenette, dining area and inviting sitting room. The kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped for light self-catering, while the sitting area offers a welcoming place to unwind, complete with a Smart TV and a sofa bed that sleeps one adult or two children, allowing the cottage to comfortably accommodate up to six guests.

Outside, Ivy Cottage enjoys a private enclosed garden patio, designed for unhurried outdoor living. Outdoor seating creates a quiet spot to enjoy the surrounding countryside and slower pace of life.

Guests staying at Gower Retreats also have access to a luxury outdoor rustic spa experience, carefully designed to sit in harmony with the landscape. Facilities include a state-of-the-art sauna, hot tub, cold-dip plunge, and private tennis courts, offering a balance of restoration and gentle activity in a truly tranquil setting.

Additional on-site amenities include the bar and restaurant, along with the beauty salon and spa. Guests are encouraged to check the website for opening times and to book spa and beauty treatments in advance to avoid disappointment.

With the wider Gower Peninsula on your doorstep, golden beaches, winding coastal paths and timeless villages are all within easy reach. Whether your days are spent exploring dramatic coastlines, enjoying long countryside walks, or returning early to unwind in the hot tub and spa, Ivy Cottage offers a stay that feels both restorative and memorable.

Blending natural textures, calm spaces and carefully curated comforts, Ivy Cottage captures the essence of rustic luxury — a place to slow down, reconnect and experience one of South Wales’ most unspoilt landscapes at an unhurried pace.

Great week spent in Oldwalls.

Accommodation was spacious, however lacked usual self-catering facilities such as tea bags, oil etc. this would have been useful to know beforehand. General lack of info given specifically about the site, what to do with bins etc. we had an issue with the WiFi one morning but as there was no signal we didn’t know who or how to contact. The tapas bar is brilliant.

It reminded us of a holiday apartment abroad.

It was good, but there are one or two tweaks that need addressing. There were no instructions for the hot tub. There was no recycling facilities, so I had to put food in the normal bin.

Excellent, a true retreat.

The accommodation is clean, comfortable and quiet having lovely en suite bedrooms with TV’s and french doors to the patio garden and great hot tub. The kitchen is perfectly adequate for making family meals. Plenty of surrounding space to walk dogs too. The tapas bar and restaurant is wonderful, with a stylish Mediterranean atmosphere. The staff are excellent, kindly giving us a tour of the new outdoor spa facilities. Beautiful setting for exploring the Gower Peninsula.
