Description
Shell Cottage is a sea-side fisherman's cottage standing on a cobbled street in the vibrant coastal village of Mumbles in South West Wales. Sleeping 5/6 in 3 bedrooms plus a sofa bed there are sea views throughout, a 'crow's nest' decking area with panoramic views of the bay and a patio overlooking the sea.
Located just a few steps from the promenade, Victorian pier and lighthouse, there is a children's play park and crazy golf nearby and the medieval Oystermouth Castle and a range of boutiques and shops all easily accessible on foot. There are numerous restaurants, cafe bars and quality ice-cream parlours within walking distance of the cottage and a real ale micro brewery pub on the foreshore a short stroll away.

“If you’re thinking of booking this property, do it! ”
Shell Cottage is a gorgeous little place: tastefully decorated, thoughtfully provisioned and clearly much loved. It might be a twee cottage but it was plenty big enough for a family of 4 which includes two people over 6 foot. A lot of thought has gone into making the best use of space (there is masses of storage) and it’s equipped for every need. The beds and furnishings are comfortable and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The location is an added bonus - just off the main road, providing glorious views of Swansea Bay. Despite the proximity to the main road, the property was pleasantly peaceful as well as being in the midst of all The Mumbles has to offer. All the local facilities are within a 10 minute walk and the little gems of The Gower within walking distance for anyone up for walking further afield although everything was easily reached by car too. Before and during our stay, the owners were very responsive to our communication We loved this place and will definitely return which is why we’re happy to highly recommend.

Response from the owner Hi there Thanks for your kind review. So pleased you enjoyed the stay in Mumbles and liked the cottage. We have been away so only just seen your review. We haven't set up the bookings for next year as yet so that is why it probably looks booked. We are not able to do this too far in advance on the app but are just about to set up availability now so if you would like to check any dates with us for next year please do get in touch. Kind regards David and Ceri
