About the home

Rock Cottage is a delightful fisherman's cottage which sleeps five. The property is a gem in the heart of Mumbles perched on the side of the hill above Mumbles it has panoramic views across the bay. The cottage itself has a bright and airy Scandinavian feel. A terrace overlooks the bay so that you can relax in a deck chair or dine al fresco watching the lights twinkle over the sea. There is even a cabin in the garden with a sauna and shower room.

Perfectly placed in the village of Mumbles, Rock Cottage is just minutes walk from shops, restaurants and bars. If you have children to entertain it's a two minute stroll to the Mumbles promenade and Southend Gardens where they can play crazy golf, let off steam in the adventure playground or catch the land train to the children's Lido at Blackpill. Mumbles Pier with its cafes and amusement arcades is a five minute walk away. Verdi's waterside Italian cafe is on your doorstep, open day and night for ice cream, coffee and Italian food.

Although the cottage is minutes from Mumbles, its unique position gives it a feeling of tranquility and seclusion. A nature reserve begins at the edge of the garden stretching up to the the summit of Mumbles Hill with its breathtaking views. The reserve carries on round to Bracelet and Limeslade Bay where you can pick up the cliff path to the beaches of Rotherslade and Langland. Staying at Rock Cottage you are perfectly placed to have a holiday where you need never use your car. Access to the cottage is up the historic Dickslade path which, with its 55 steps may exclude some visitors, but it's worth it for the views.
