Roughly equidistant between the north and south coasts of Gower, Three Crosses lies in Britain’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and forms the setting for these lovingly renovated, listed 18th-century properties which have won prestigious awards, namely the Lord Mayor Design Award, Wales regional winner for Built in Quality Design Award and the Gower Society Award. Originally comprising the buildings of the only farm in the village, they offer holiday accommodation of a very high standard, blending modern facilities with old world charm, have wi-fi internet access, and lie close to the 18th-century village pub serving good food.
With exposed brick work and beams The Dairy is tastefully decorated throughout.

A well-equipped modern fitted kitchen is a dream to cook in and makes whipping up a holiday feast a breeze. Also on the ground floor is the twin bedroom, with plenty of space for playing and a shower room with corner shower cubicle and toilet. The stairs lead up to the relaxing double bedroom with ornate iron bed frame and another shower room.
Stretching from the pretty village of Mumbles, the south coast offers many opportunities for water sports, with beautiful sandy beaches further along the coast to the jewel of Rhossilli, and a 22-mile coastal path rewards walkers with some of the most stunning scenery in Wales. Taking on a wilder look, the north coast stretches from Llangennith and follows the Loughor Estuary. Beautiful walks abound in inland Gower, which boasts three Norman castles, and spectacular views of the north and south coasts can be admired from Cefyn Bryn – the spine of Gower. The Rhossilli Downs overlook the beach towards Worms Head – reached by a causeway at low tide. Home to 4 golf courses (one a few hundred yards from Crwys Farm), Gower also has surfing beaches at Llangennith and Langland, pony trekking and excellent fishing. For a change of tempo, the city of Swansea beckons. Home of Dylan Thomas, Swansea (with its cinema, bowling, indoor leisure facilities) has the largest indoor market in Wales and boasts an excellent maritime quarter containing the Welsh Maritime Museum, as well as Plantasia. Shop 500 yards.
The Dairy can be booked together with The Granary (ONT) to accommodate up to 6 guests.

The Dairy was clean, comfortable,well equipped for self catering. It’s right beside a road, but not too noisy as school holidays. Take care driving out of the gateway into the road. It has a bbq and good outside seating and table, but sadly weather too hot for us to sit out there. Small shop 10-15 mins walk sells lots of basic groceries, and lovely home made Welsh cakes. Went to the local pub one evening at 8.10 pm to be told kitchen closes at 8 pm, so drove to Dunvant for Chinese takeaway,cash only. Cottage is within 30 mins drive to beautiful ,uncrowded beaches, £8 to park all day. There is also a kids play park a few minutes walk from the cottage. Overall we had a nice stay in the cottage and local area.

What I wish I'd known before booking is that this property is immediately adjacent to a busy main road which is very noisy. The nature of the area is such that a small road like this bears a great deal of traffic, and it is constant. This affects sitting outside (we went in July) and having the garden doors open. The upstairs main bedroom is also effected by the noisy road which resumes its activity in the early hours of the morning. Be aware also that the downstairs children's bedroom is the opposite side of the property to the upstairs bedroom and parents don't have immediate access in the night. Parking is good, although we were the only guests at the cottages at the time. Pulling onto the road is difficult because there's no buffer space at all and the wall acts as a blind spot so be careful. Unfortunately the upstairs shower door wasn't attached making the shower unusable but it wasn't much of an issue as there's a shower downstairs. Location is very good, you can be at any of the local beaches in 20 minutes.
