*** PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to book the optional wooden cabin with single bed, you will need to increase the number of people travelling to 3 people, even if you are travelling as a party of 2. THANK YOU *** Welcome to The Swallows! We are a recently renovated 1960s bungalow at the bottom of a quiet cul-de-sac, adjacent to a beautiful wildflower & buttercup meadow, which has easy access for a relaxing stroll any time of day. Your apartment, the east side of the bungalow, is a light and airy space with a restful feel that faces south with a deck and garden view. You can enjoy a medium firm double bed with plenty of pillows and cushions provided for your comfort. The apartment sports many great facilities to help make your stay a comfortable one. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with a full length screen, towels and hand soap provided. Your living area, The Snug, opens out onto a large deck with picnic table and plenty of space for sun loungers that you’ll find in the Boot Room as you enter the property. If you need an extra single bed, there is also the option of using the wooden cabin in the garden. (Select 3 people when booking to include this). For cyclists we are able to store your bikes in our locked garage overnight. Swansea has a fantastic selection of cycle paths to choose from! As this accommodation is new for 2025, please see reviews from our other room profile. Search Google for "The Swallows - King size ensuite with private garden". The Swallows is a perfect base to explore the beautiful infamous Gower coastline and the many wonders that the area has to offer. We're delighted to have you stay with us and hope you enjoy your visit. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We live on the west side of the bungalow and are keen gardeners, DIYers and love an upcycling project. Chrissie makes spoon jewellery and used to paint kitchens and the interiors of bars and restaurants. Peter is an environmentalist and has been involved in the development of various digital platforms.
Bishopston is a fantastic place to access some of the best attractions Gower has to offer, including Caswell & Langland Bays, Brandy Cove, Pwlldu Beach, Three Cliffs, Oxwich and many more,
