Description

The Old Vicarage is prominently situated on a hill overlooking the wonderful Gower countryside. It has five bedrooms and will comfortably sleep twelve guests.

Quiet and peaceful yet within minutes of Gower's famous beaches and just 15 minutes from Mumbles village, famous for it's restaurants, bars and shops.

The Old Vicarage was completed in 1901 and has recently been completely refurbished to offer a full range of modern amenities within a beautifully decorated country house that will provide you with a lifetime of memories.

The house is perfect for families, extended families, groups of friends & wedding guests looking to enjoy first class accommodation. The library and east sitting room offers sanctuary to guests wishing to relax quietly in front of a roaring fire, whilst the family room off the kitchen is the hub of the house. The heart of the house is undoubtedly the enormous family kitchen. The very large, oak central island allows guests to sit in the heart of the kitchen next to the range cooker. The conservatory, off the kitchen, houses a solid oak table with seating for 12 and a wood burning stove.

The 5 star Fairyhill restaurant is within walking distance as is the renowned King Arthur country pub serving excellent food & drink in a traditional country pub environment.

Gower provides the opportunity for golf, watersports, horse riding, hiking, cycling or just relaxing and enjoying some of Europe's favourite beaches.
