About this property
Positioned in the coastal village of Port Eynon facing the sea on the Gower Peninsula, is this stunning, two-bedroom holiday home, 2 Salt Cottage. Enjoying spectacular sea views and access to the beach, this pet-friendly dwelling is idyllic for families, friends and their pooch. Step inside to discover the bright and airy sitting room, where on cooler evenings you can curl with a hot chocolate as the wood burning stove crackles before you. Moving through the property, you will find the stylish kitchen/diner, bathed in natural light and offering a double electric oven and hobs to conjure up delicious meals. When food is served, gather around the dining table, where you can perch on a window seat and savour the sea views as you enjoy a cold beverage. Bi-fold doors lead out to the rear garden; here you can make use of the pizza oven for alternative cooking arrangements and relish the coastal vistas. After an afternoon on the beach, locate the outdoor shower room to wash away the sand and you can make use of the washing machine to freshen your clothes. As day draws to night, venture upstairs to choose between two lavish bedrooms, one being a double with a freestanding bath and a balcony, as well as an adult bunk bedroom, or pitch-up camp on one of the two sofa beds downstairs! In the morning, awaken with a cup of tea out on the balcony to let the sea breeze revitalise you before getting a shower in the family bathroom. Take your furry friend for a stroll along the beachfront; here you can have a dip in the clear waters or savour a reading spot on the sand. For a beautiful coastal setting, look no further than 2 Salt Cottages. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1102223, together sleeping up to nine guests.

Access problematic , if steps are a problem. The letting agent and owner were approachable, accessable and friendly. The food nearby was excellent. I would definitely go again.

The location was fantastic.There was a lot of useful information where to go ect and useful numbers. We have endevoured to keep the cottage looking when we left as if we had never been there.That's not easy with two well behaved dogs even in good weather. My constant worry was anything getting marked.The cottage is predominantly white or beige. That said, I am glad we went and I very much want to go again.The owner was friendly as was the Sykes staff member who phoned us to see how we were settling in.

The views are breathtaking and so quiet and relaxing,the local shop was very sad unless you want a bucket and spade so if you need shopping get it before you get there. The ship the local pub did do food to die for and we ate there every night so we never used the kitchen apart from the kettle. Bus service was brilliant and very helpful to the point they took us when they were not in service.
