Quality self-catering seaside cottage 

Stay at:-

Middle Cottage,
Post Office Green,
Llanmadoc, 
Gower Peninsula, 
Swansea, SA3 1DE



The owners (that's us - Heather and Dai Howells) seek to provide guests with a very cosy country cottage (pictured above) near the seaside and wish to make you feel genuinely welcome in offering the comfort and facilities you would normally only expect at home. We live next door at Gower Cottage.

If we are around, do call in for a coffee and chat if you have time, when you come to stay.

We think our simple booking system for Middle Cottage is fair, with common-sense terms and conditions and overall service match or beat the large national chains such as Hoseasons, English-country-cottages, and Cottages4you.  

2 bedrooms, sleeps up to 4/5. Walk to the local real ale pub, restaurant, beach & woodlands, nature reserves and fine walks nearby. Friendly and helpful owners. Our booking system is simply by email and we offer a 100% no quibbles refund if you have to cancel before 60 days - unlike the big operators. You pay a sensible 30% deposit and the balance is 60 days before arrival. 

See the facilities page option to the left, for a full facilities specification.

LLANMADOC VILLAGE

Simply bustling with beautiful walks and things to do. Around 10 mins stroll to the dunes/woodlands and maybe 20 mins stroll to the first wave of the sea at Llanmadoc beach. Set in the heart of west Gower, with the historic twin churches of St Madoc's (at Llanmadoc) and St Cadog's at nearby Cheriton 0.5km away. Stroll each morning onto the beachwoodsdunes, or picnic at the Bronze Age hill fort (the Bulwark) at Llanmadoc Hill - Gower's second highest peak. Walk out to Whiteford Lighthouse, and take a circular walk around Whiteford Peninsula/Cwm Ivy National Trust Woods, or hand-pick Samphire Grass at Landimore Marsh, fish or kayak on the local beaches, or pick your own cockles and mussels. Enjoy a pint of Guinness, Marstons Pedigree, or a local ale such as Rhymney Bitter or for wine drinkers, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or Chilean Merlot (many others available) at The Britannia Inn, whilst sampling their a la Carte menu.
