Where to stay on the Gower? Quiet and pretty...

[BlackSquirrels]

Hello there,

DH and I want to stay for two nights on the Gower peninsula some time this September. Just us two, no dogs or kids. We've never been there before.

We don't want a busy seaside town like Mumbles. Which areas/places are peaceful and scenic, for a few walks or sitting on a quiet beach. Does anyone have any specific accommodation they have stayed in that we could check out?

Not TOO expensive (Air BnB is usually too expensive!) so a traditional B&B would probably be the thing.

Thank you!

So - we're going to stay in a cosy looking b&b in Llangennith. I was a bit limited in the end by what was still available on the dates we want but it looks nice, with birdwatching and ancient monuments nearby to poke around. Thank you all for your suggestions, some of which we can follow up when we are next in the area.

Just one thing - if we are unlucky and the weather is appalling, what is there to do locally? Any museums, stately homes, cinema etc? (and on the Gower without having to actually go into Swansea).

Nothing like that on the Gower. It’s all lovely but unspoiled but that sort of thing.
Go into Swansea. The museum is free and there is Plantasia across the road which is by the cinema/bowling shopping area. Don’t bother going into town for shops though. We have nothing good there. On the way to Swansea Singleton park has lovely gardens to walk around. Swansea beach is a nice stroll too. Drive out a little bit to Penllergare Woods. Lovely cafe there.
