About this property
Ivy Cottage
Ivy Cottage is a beautifully designed reverse-level holiday home set within the peaceful grounds of Gower Retreats (formerly Oldwalls Gower), located in North Gower on the stunning Gower Peninsula. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and surrounded by rolling countryside and open skies, the cottage offers a refined yet relaxed escape that feels both grounded and indulgent.
Designed to make the most of its setting, the layout places the sleeping accommodation on the ground floor, creating calm, private spaces to retreat to at the end of the day. There are two king-size bedrooms, each beautifully finished and benefitting from their own en-suite bathroom, complete with a bath, shower over, basin and WC. Both bedrooms also feature Smart TVs, offering comfort and privacy for couples, families or friends sharing.
The first floor is dedicated to social living and relaxation. Here you’ll find a light-filled open-plan space combining a kitchenette, dining area and inviting sitting room. The kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped for light self-catering, while the sitting area offers a welcoming place to unwind, complete with a Smart TV and a sofa bed that sleeps one adult or two children, allowing the cottage to comfortably accommodate up to six guests.
Outside, Ivy Cottage enjoys a private enclosed garden patio, designed for unhurried outdoor living. A hot tub provides the perfect place to relax beneath the stars, while outdoor seating creates a quiet spot to enjoy the surrounding countryside and slower pace of life.
Guests staying at Gower Retreats also have access to a luxury outdoor rustic spa experience, carefully designed to sit in harmony with the landscape. Facilities include a state-of-the-art sauna, hot tub, cold-dip plunge, and private tennis courts, offering a balance of restoration and gentle activity in a truly tranquil setting.
Additional on-site amenities include the bar and restaurant, along with the beauty salon and spa. Guests are encouraged to check the website for opening times and to book spa and beauty treatments in advance to avoid disappointment.
With the wider Gower Peninsula on your doorstep, golden beaches, winding coastal paths and timeless villages are all within easy reach. Whether your days are spent exploring dramatic coastlines, enjoying long countryside walks, or returning early to unwind in the hot tub and spa, Ivy Cottage offers a stay that feels both restorative and memorable.
Blending natural textures, calm spaces and carefully curated comforts, Ivy Cottage captures the essence of rustic luxury — a place to slow down, reconnect and experience one of South Wales’ most unspoilt landscapes at an unhurried pace.
