About this property

Cosy Coastal Retreat | 3 min walk to beach | Perfect for families | Free parking

You will be staying just a three minute stroll from the beautiful golden sandy expanse of Caswell Bay Beach. Located in an official Area of Outstanding Beauty, Caswell Bay has clear waters, soft golden sand, caves and rock pools - plenty for all ages to enjoy and explore.

You'll have everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay at Caswell Bay Chalet. Located just a short walk from the beach, you can enjoy a dip in the bay and a sunbathe on the golden sands without the hassle or worry of parking or travelling to the beach. It's virtually on your doorstep, which means it's great for enjoying the coast but also being able to pop back for lunch, nap time or a bit of quiet time. With the patio directly outside the front door, you'll use this as an extra room in good weather and can enjoy the all day sunshine it captures! Perfect for a coffee in the morning or a wine at sunset.

The chalet itself, which has been recently renovated, is cute, cosy and compact and has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. The two bedrooms are bright and airy with very comfortable beds, so you can have a good night's sleep. The main bedroom has a double bed and the second bedroom full size single bunk beds. The bedrooms are adjacent to the open plan living area/kitchen.

If you like to self-cater, the kitchen is well equipped with full size oven/hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, a range of pots/pans, cutlery, crockery and glasses. There is no gas in the property, only electricity.

After a day on the beach, you can relax on the comfortable 3 seater sofa or arm chair and watch your favourite shows. Alternatively, enjoy the peace and tranquility of the patio to read your book or play a board game.

You'll find it easy to wash the sand away in the walk in electric shower, which is in the sparkling clean and modern bathroom.

Park your car directly outside the chalet, with additional short-stay parking for visitors located behind the chalets. There is step free access from car parking to the front door.

The chalet is surrounded by well-kept communal gardens and grounds. The chalet park is peaceful and quiet with no entertainment centre on site. The nearest shop/cafe is at the beach with a larger range of supermarkets, shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants in Mumbles, a five minute drive away.

You'll be staying on the edge of the Gower, the UK's first area of outstanding beauty, so the chalet is the perfect base to explore all the beautiful beaches and walks it has to offer. The coastal path, which starts at Caswell Beach, will take you either around to Langland Bay, Rotherslade, Limeslade, Bracelet and the various other bays towards Mumbles or, in the other direction, further along the coast into the Gower Peninsula.

Adjacent to the chalet park is the Langland Bay Links golf course, in a spectacular setting. The pretty village of Mumbles is just a five minute drive away, where you'll find an interesting and unique selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes. Swansea is 5 miles away and has all the amenities you'd expect in a town.

So what are you waiting for - book your holiday or short break now? We have been renting the chalet for the past 20 years to holidaymakers, many of whom are repeat customers. They know it's an easy relaxing place to stay just a few minutes from a beautiful beach - perfect for a family holiday at the coast, or a restful retreat for a couple. Don't take our word for it though, read our reviews! We look forward to giving you a warm welcome to Caswell Bay Chalet.

The positives: quite clean, super cute bedrooms, well equipped kitchen and location very close to the beach. The negatives: tiny bathroom with the lowest water pressure in the shower I have ever experienced. Bedrooms are quite small, so there is barely room to move around the double bed.

Thanks for your review. We're glad you found the chalet well-equipped and enjoyed being so close to the beach. It is indeed a compact space, in common with all the chalets on the park but, as you found, has everything for a very comfortable stay, with the bonus that you were able to enjoy a discounted rate. Regarding the shower pressure, we've had it tested and all is well, so must have been a glitch or perhaps used on the wrong setting. Thank you for booking with us.

Wonderful little chalet on an excellently maintained site.

A wonderful chalet on a very quiet well maintained - quiet site with a beautiful sandy cove, ideal for surfing (if I wasn’t 75 I would have a go.). Good site well maintained, with everything you need for your stay - Mumbles town centre about a mile and a half away. Cannot praise the site enough and everyone friendly. Would thoroughly recommend it for your stay - and for walkers the whole area is ideal.

Caswell Bay Beach Chalet was a lovely little property on a quiet holiday park in a leafy valley setting. Clean and tidy with modern fittings throughout. Superb location within a stone's throw of the beautiful Caswell Beach. Easy access to Langland and the rest of the Gower by car. There is a bus into Mumbles and Swansea if you don't have a car. Top communication with Margaret the host. Would certainly use again. Thank you.

Fabulous beach location

The location of the chalet is amazing - a very short walk to the beach meant we could put on our wet suits and be surfing in minutes. Always hot water for a shower after. The living space is small for us and our teenage boys but we were out nearly all day. Brilliant also for walking on the coastal path to nearby beaches.

Thanks for your 5* review Caroline. It sounds as if you really made the most of the beach and coastal walks near the chalet. You’re right - you can be surfing within a few minutes of leaving the chalet and then in a hot shower five minutes after coming off the beach. Bliss! Thanks for booking with us.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Breen

Host profile image

Originally from Mumbles, we love the south Wales coast. It has world class beaches and we get a lot of pleasure from people discovering the area and falling in love with it.

Why they chose this property

We are very happy to be able to share this little bit of paradise - the south Wales coast. Once you've visited, you'll definitely be back! We love the beaches and all the Gower has to offer. There's no need to schlep all the way to Cornwall when south Wales is so easy to get to, and you won't have the crowds or traffic to battle!

What makes this property unique

Being just a short walk from Caswell Bay is such a luxury - you can dip in and out of the beach (or water) and then retreat to the chalet to relax. You won't have the hassles of getting to the beach or parking your car. And you'll be able to enjoy the beach before everyone else arrives, and long into the evening, knowing that your cosy and comfortable chalet is a short walk away.
