...a short walk to Llanmadoc Beach or Cwm Ivy Woods
Your well behaved dog is welcome - the local beach is dog friendly all year around
NEXT AVAILABILITY 17th-20th MAY: 3 NIGHTS FOR £200
Dai and Heather Howells welcome you to their cottage apartment, "Wagtails", shown in the picture above. Located in the very North West of Gower Peninsula, and situated right on the vilage green, in the idyllic Village of Llanmadoc.
Wagtails cottage apartment is a 1 double-bedroom ground floor s/c apartment , with own parking to the front door. It's double bed is ensuite, and the bathroom is spotlessly clean and modern. We insist on quality beds/bedding, and this bed was bought in Aug 07 (and has a quality pocket sprung mattress).
We provide fresh bed-linen & towels as well as a bottle of wine for our guests.
We have just fitted a new Victorian style traditional 'Savoy' three piece porcelain bathroom suite fitted in Jan 08 including white enamel shower-bath (with safety handles and anti-slip floor), pedestal sink, and stylish conventional WC. (NB: Bathroom photos on web gallery are now out of date and will shortly be replaced).
Layout is as follows: enter front door, into kitchen area, open plan into lounge with dining table, then through door into double bedroom, which then leads through another door into the bathroom. All situated on ground floor.
Conscious of those with allergies, we have minimised the soft-furnishings (laminate flooring throughout and leather sofas, no pets!). Our usual guests are couples alone or with up to two children who want quality and comfort as well as a great location, but either can't find or don't need a larger full size cottage. There is a quality leather metal action sofabed in the lounge (new Feb 08) suitable for one adult or two children. Therefore the cottage apartment can sleep a family of up to four. The lounge also has a widescreen Panasonic TV and DVD player- and we provide a load of recent Hollywood DVD movies, Detective series (Morse/Poirot/Midsummer), and Disney/Pixar movies such as Ratatouille, Madagasgar, Ice Age, Shrek2/3, Harry Potter, Pooh etc., not to mention a few comedy classics. Maybe not a very large apartment, but we have tried to provide all those home comforts to help you enjoy your stay e.g. quality pillows and duvet, books, decent wall-hangings, DAB digital alarm/radios in lounge and bedroom, Denby crockery, decent cutlery, sky movies and sports, landline phone [BT wireless broadband may be available, please ask at least one week before arrival, there is no discount if it is not provided, and no extra charge if it is].
The main strengths of Wagtails are: fab location, friendly hosts, simple unfussy booking process, sensible prices, key facilities, and attention to detail. The friendly owners (that's us - Heather and Dai) live next door, always keen to welcome and provide help and advice about what to do, where to eat etc.
NB: Strictly no smoking;
Wagtails has its own parking and front door entrance (no shared entrance). Wagtails is literally a one minute walk to the local community shop (great local produce) and 10 mins walk down to the local beaches at Whiteford/Llanmadoc/Broughton beaches, or just sit out the rear garden and relax. One of Gower's truly stunning circular maritime coastal walks awaits you at Cwm Ivy Woods (NT) just down Cwm Ivy lane. You can also walk over Llanmadoc Hill to Llangennith and catch the hourly bus back to the front door. Ring or email us for more details or see the key points listed at foot of this page..Unfortunately we do not offer a Wagtails guest laundry facility so make sure you bring sufficient clothes for your full stay.
