A secluded woodland cottage for families, friends and dogs, with Mumbles and Gower within easy reach
If you are trying to organise a few days away with family or friends and want somewhere that feels genuinely away from everyday life, Barn Owl Lodge gives you something rather special.
Sleeping eight, the cottage is tucked away in Clyne Valley Country Park, surrounded by ancient woodland and reached along a mile-long stone track through the trees. It feels wonderfully removed from the everyday, yet you are still close enough to enjoy Mumbles, Swansea and the Gower Peninsula.
Inside, the large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area gives everyone space to be together, whether that means lingering over breakfast, cooking supper after a day out or simply settling in for a relaxed evening. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there is plenty of room for families and groups of friends to share a holiday comfortably.
Outside, the woodland becomes part of the stay. There is plenty of outdoor space, dogs are very welcome, and the changing seasons bring something different throughout the year. Autumn colours, crisp winter walks and quiet spring mornings make Barn Owl just as appealing for a few days away outside the traditional summer holiday.
And while it feels like a proper woodland escape, you don’t have to choose between peace and exploring. Mumbles, Swansea and the Gower Peninsula are all within easy reach, so you can spend the day discovering beaches, coastal walks, cafés and local places before retreating back to the woods.
For something a little different, horse riding for children and adults is available at Clyne Farm Centre, along with Challenge Valley, our famously muddy outdoor assault course. They are memorable ways to spend time together and particularly good fun for families looking for more than another day at the beach.
Planning a bigger gathering? Keeper’s Cottage is right next door and the two cottages can interconnect, sleeping up to 16 guests altogether. It makes the setting particularly well suited to extended families, multi-generational stays and groups of friends who want to holiday together while still having plenty of space.
Barn Owl Lodge is for those breaks you’ve been meaning to organise for ages: getting the family together, catching up properly with friends, giving the children space to explore and bringing the dogs along too.
A woodland escape that feels away from it all, without actually being far from everything you came to South Wales to enjoy.
A family-friendly cottage with sweeping Swansea Bay views, horse riding on the doorstep and Gower waiting to be explored.
If your ideal break involves waking up to a big view, getting outdoors with the children and bringing the dog along too, Horseshoe Cottage is a lovely place to make your base.
The cottage sleeps five and is set around the peaceful courtyard at Clyne Farm Centre. Its standout feature is the rear sunroom, with wide views across the fields towards Clyne Valley Country Park and the sweep of Swansea Bay. It is a wonderful spot for a morning coffee, a quiet read or simply watching the changing view.
Inside, there is a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. On the same level is a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Two steps lead down to the family bathroom, a twin bedroom and a single bedroom with a ¾-size bed.
For families with horse-mad children, there is another rather special bonus: our riding stables are directly opposite the cottage. Horse riding is available for children and adults, and guests looking for a rather muddier adventure can also take on Challenge Valley, our outdoor assault course.
Dogs are very welcome too, with an enclosed rear garden, so they can be part of the holiday rather than left at home.
Despite the countryside setting, you are far from cut off. Mumbles, Swansea and the Gower Peninsula are all within easy reach, giving you plenty of choice between beaches, coastal walks, cafés, days out and evenings back at the cottage.
There is free fast Wi-Fi, private parking and everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay. And if you are travelling with a larger family or group, Horseshoe Cottage’s position around the main courtyard makes it particularly handy when booked alongside other Clyne Farm cottages.
Horseshoe works especially well for families who want more from their cottage than somewhere to sleep: space to be together, countryside outside the door, dogs included, horses nearby and some of South Wales’ best coastline waiting to be explored.
