Planning a week away in August, self-catering, as cheap as possible without being actively nasty. DD will be 3.2 and DC2 (currently unborn!) will be 3 months.
DH has thought of the Gower Peninsula because: 1) he saw it on TV once and it looked pretty, 2) it looks interesting on a map (ie lots of coast) and 3) it's only about 3 hours from where we live. These all seem like good reasons to me, but what's it actually like? Am worried that it might be: Tacky seaside or cheap-and-nasty seaside? Full of old people or full of (drunk) hen parties? Nightmare in August as everywhere is chockablock?
Or is it actually the perfect holiday for a young family? We would be happy with: ice-cream on the beach, walks on a beach / cliff, rock-pooling, messing about with a bucket and spade, wandering round a pretty village, visiting the odd National Trust-type place or castle or ruins, going to the odd pub for lunch.
Thanks!
