House vacation rentals in Oxwich Bay

I cannot overstate how amazing this place is. I was looking for an escape into the woods and it was exactly what I wanted. The setting of the cottage is stunning, right on the river and surrounded by trees. It feels remote, even though it's only a short walk into the village. The welcome was really friendly, you can tell that the owners are very active in their community and have put together loads of local info. I particularly liked the map of the community forrest which made me feel confident enough to explore walks by myself. The cottage itself is beautifully kept, with everything that you need, and then some. I didn't want to leave.

Emma was a fantastic host! Her house was amazing and we felt right at home! She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and we even had some little extras like access to the garden and a late check out. We want to come back as soon as we can! A perfect weekend away with our best friends and kids. 🥰😍

We had a fantastic stay, the house was lovely and had everything we could need. Walking distance into Tenby was very handy (if you don’t mind a hill). Host was great with detailed instructions. We would love to stay again.

Wonderful place and fantastic hosts which made everyone feel so welcome and were brilliant at communicating with us. Location is perfect to walk to the pubs in Cowbridge then is perfect for a quiet nights sleep just away from the main high street. We will certainly be back! Thanks so much :)

What a lovely little secret place! Absolutely beautiful 40 acres to roam & wander with the dogs. Play area for kids with a mega trampoline, and a well heated swimming pool, which can be booked for up to 2 hours of private use, at no extra charge. I stayed in Robin. A lovely little cottage, perfect for solo travellers or couples, and dogs, of course! Large, private SECURE lawn at the back, with beautiful views. Dogs & kids can be free-range and interact, if appropriate. The cottage is lovely, very homely and comfortable, what you'd expect with kids & dogs running riot! Very clean, all mod cons - dishwasher/tv/internet/iron/hairdryer. Everything you could want. Beautiful lake fir fishing or just strolling around. Well done Alex, Jess, Rob & Chris. X

Such a lovely place for our multigenerational family to enjoy the long weekend together. The highlights were definitely the pool and the large lounge where we spent lots of time together but didn't feel ontop of each other! Richard's excellent communication added to the overall positive experience. We highly recommend this cottage!

A fantastic few days away. The house is beautiful and in a gem of a location. Definitely would visit again!

We had a lovely stay for my parents 70th birthdays. As a large group with a mix of ages from 1-70 everyone was catered for. Everything was provided for the little ones and the older children loved the pool. Everything was provided at the house with plenty of plates, cutlery etc. the view to the bay is gorgeous and there is plenty of space for a large group. Thanks for having us.

Really nice and clean home in a very quiet area on a no through road so nice a quiet walk over the road and then your on the beach and a couple or coastal trails close by home had all you could need for a comfortable stay

My partner and I had a beautiful stay at The Cottage and have made some memories for life! This was planned for our 5 year anniversary and ultimately an engagement so this really was for a special occasion and it did not disappoint. There is a stunning private beach around 10-15 minutes walk down from the cottage and this should be advertised more as it is stunning. The living room/front garden was perfect for a bbq with a well equipped kitchen for cooking if needs be. Our puppy had a wonderful time and loved the space she had to roam! We are over the moon with the stay and we plan on returning in the future with a couple of friends for sure.

Perfect location to get the family together for a long Easter weekend. Location is well placed for local beaches. Good sized table for board games and the outside pizza oven was fun to try. When the weather allowed we played boules and table tennis on the good sized lawn and we had a great time. Mark was helpful and made us feel at home. The Internet is a bit iffy and watching streaming TV had a fair amount of buffering and glitches but about do-able and fair enough for the very rural location. Would visit again. Thanks Mark. (The neighbouring cat is very friendly too)

Lovely cwtch - thank you - clean and inviting . And, of course, the most amazing bed and bed linen - so comfy . Loved the walk from the back onto the marsh road and along the salt marshes to the two pubs in the next village Llanrhidian - just a shame it was a scramble over a fench to get on the footpath - no gate. Had to carry Flo the Viszla over ! Unless, course, we got it wrong ?!!

We greatly enjoyed our stay in June. The cottage was in a very quiet countryside position, well-positioned for visiting different areas of Gower. It was very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The bathroom upstairs has a bath and the downstairs bathroom has a shower. The bed were comfortable. Wendy was welcoming and was extremely helpful about items we had left there. It is a cottage which I would highly recommend.

Dear Lauren and Lucy We all loved your place. It was just amazing, we all had a great time. Thank you Best wishes Dipti

The property has loads of charm and really cosy. Lisa made us feel really welcome and helped with my many questions. A really magical week I’ll definitely return!

Amazing place to escape from the city noise. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic stay! Jason was very responsive and the house is beautiful. Thank you for the goodies you left, they were very much enjoyed! Location is amazing, thanks for letting us stay. We will be back!

We needed to stay in the area for regular hospital treatment and Sharon and Mark were so kind and helpful fitting the dates around us. Cosy little cottage with a lovely, peaceful garden in a great location. The cottage was clean and tidy with plenty of hot water. Walking distance to the centre of Mumbles with all that has to offer so despite the reason for us being there we were also able to think of it as a bit of a holiday. Comfy lounge to watch a bit of Netflix in the evening and lovely comfy beds. Thank you Sharon & Mark

Lovely place, fab host who responded straight away and was very helpful in correcting an error I made in booking. Pool was lovely, kids went in every day and really enjoyed. The pool table was also well used. The place was perfect for us as a family of 5. Short drive to beautiful Rhossili bay where we also ate out a few times - all cafes and pubs were very nice.

We absolutely loved Matt’s place. If this isn’t the best Airbnb we have stayed at (it might be!), it’s incredibly close. Walkable to everything in the area (including fantastic coffee shops, restaurants, beaches, castle), spotless, spacious, extremely comfortable beds, phenomenal water pressure, well stocked kitchen (milk, orange juice, coffee, water bottles, jams, bread, welsh cakes!) I can’t think of anything to make it better. Parking is the only tricky thing about the place, but even with that we never had to park more than a 2-minute walk away. Matt was responsive to all our needs as well. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks, Matt!

We had a lovely comfortable stay in Mumbles at Grace's place and the location couldn't have been better. We were able to walk to everything locally and there were plenty of options for food and shopping within walking distance. Parking isn't the easiest, but between the local car parks and free overnight street parking, we managed easily. Just be prepared for the cost of the car parks.

Even better than expected. Just what's needed/wanted and nothing more.

Absolutely loved our stay! The surroundings were stunning—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The private jacuzzi was a dream: warm, clean, and the perfect spot to unwind under the stars. The space itself was cozy, stylish, and totally private, which made it feel like our own little retreat. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and recharge!

Lovely cottage in a great location. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Excellent communication from the host. Would highly recommend for a couple or small family looking for a short break.
