The Watermill in Mumbles, Swansea

The Watermill Self-Catering

If you're looking for a spacious period property right in the heart of the beautiful Gower Peninsula, this home deserves to be at the top of the list. Housed in a 19th-century former watermill, lofty vaulted ceilings, oak beams, and a spiral stone staircase rising through the centre of the home bring all the charm. Whilst light-filled, pristine bedrooms, and sparkling bathrooms (with sunken baths and waterfall showers to boot) ramp up the luxurious feel. After sunny days at the beach, head back home to relax in the hot tub and cedar barrel sauna in the garden, (there's a handy outside shower too) before an evening barbecue on the landscaped terraces. In colder months, take things inside around the fire in the stylish living room of impressive proportions, leading into a snug room complete with a billiards table. And when it’s time to embrace the dramatic coastlines and ancient woodlands of the Gower, you’re in the perfect spot to do so. A ten-minute drive will bring you to the picture-perfect seaside town of Mumbles. Or you could just stay local - the spectacular shoreline of Three Cliffs Bay, Pennard Castle, and the stunning country house, Parc le Breos are all within walking distance. Your only quandary will be deciding where to head first.
