“I see a property steeped in 17th-century charm, located a stone's throw from Gower's stunning beaches. What stands out to me is the dedication to local sourcing in the kitchen, and the surprisingly dog-friendly atmosphere, complete with a canine menu. From what I gather, it's a place where the community feel is as palpable as the sea breeze.”
