Beautiful house

Apart from being quite a squeeze for 16 people, we had a wonderful stay at the house. Perfect for a hen party.

A memorable holiday

A really lovely area that we shall be returning to. Downstairs was ideal for our mixed age group of 10. Plenty of space and lovely rooms. Garden perfect for kids games & kitchen for cooking for 10. Unfortunately previous guests had flushed inappropriate things down macerator toilets which despite best efforts of owners before we arrived resulted in an unpleasant smell in the bathrooms and some other rooms. Unsurprisingly in such an old house the electrics are a bit temperamental but none of this ruined a wonderful sunny family holiday. We felt that the house needed some TLC upstairs but quite understand that it must be a difficult property to maintain. We didn’t meet the owners and so didn’t like to complain but feel sure they would have done more if they’d not been away.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Dickerson

Hi, Our family bought The Old Vicarage in 2001 after many years searching for a country house in South Wales. Restoring and modernising the house was a labour of love and we were very lucky to be able to live here and raise our family of three children & two dogs! It was heart rending to move from The Old Vicarage but our older children needed to be closer to work and so we decided to move. Letting out the property for families and groups of friends has been a wonderful experience as we feel we are sharing the joy that a large country house can bring in enabling large groups of people to enjoy time together in a wonderful environment.

Why they chose this property

Gower was designated the UK's first area of outstanding natural beauty and every visitor quickly understands why. The coastline has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world with Rhossilli & Three Cliffs recognised as two of the greatest views. The countryside and proximity to the bustling seaside village of Mumbles and nearby Swansea city provides a unique experience that visitors return for year after year.

What makes this property unique

The Old Vicarage is set within an acre of landscaped gardens with secure access through iron gates. Prominently situated on a small hill the property affords views over the surrounding countryside and is within minutes of many beaches.
