About this property

5* Self Catering Penthouse, Llanelli, Beach, Sea Views, Walks, Golf, Cycle.

Gower View Penthouse is our family holiday home, enjoyed and loved by 3 generations. It is graded 5* by Visit Wales and we visit on a regular basis to ensure this standard is maintained.

It is a modern duplex apartment located on the beachfront in Llanelli in the Millennium Coastal Park where more than 1500 acres have been given a spectacular face-lift to provide 22 km of beautifully restored coastline with stunning views of the Gower Peninsula, traffic-free cycling and exhilarating walks.

This is a brilliant location for family holidays, cyclists, walkers, golfers, horse racing, bird watching and garden enthusiasts.

The penthouse sleeps 6 people and has a light, spacious open plan kitchen and living area with full-length glass balconies on both sides. The spacious master bedroom has a king-sized bed, a balcony and an en suite. Both have spectacular views of the sandy beach and the sea beyond, we feel completely relaxed from the moment we arrive.

Stunning!

What an amazing place! The pictures don't do it any justice! Its so airy and bright and the views are breath taking! The Penthouse was spotless when we went in. Everything you may need was available, the beds were all so comfortable and it was amazing waking up to the view of the sea My toddlers especially loved the balcony, couldn't keep them away from it. The owner was great and kept me well informed through out and replies quickly to messages. My only criticism would be that the bedroom balcony is in need of some TLC but that didn't take away from the beauty of the views and how gorgeous the entire penthouse is. We were lucky enough to get some sunshine and dry weather so that was great. We really loved it and would definitely recommend it

Fabulous views and location

The apartment is well furnished and equipped, with everything working. The views over the bay are fantastic and can be enjoyed from both lounge and main bedroom - or from the balconies. We were very lucky with fine weather and ate our dinner every night on the balcony. The surrounding area is great for walking and swimming, and also within easy reach of the National Botanical Garden. The owner has provided lots of leaflets/information on local attractions, and gave clear directions on check in/check out process.

Amazing property

The description of this property really did not do it justice. The light and views were amazing; so much do that my 17 year old barely left the balcony when we were in snapping pictures of the sunset and moonlight. It was spacious and comfortable with everything that you might need. Shopping, countryside, beaches, walking, and places to eat all at hand. It was super relaxing and I am hoping to plan another visit

Great views and excellent base

Enjoyed our stay very much, the views, the apartment and the location which was near to everywhere we wanted to go. The stairs were hard work because we live in a bungalow but they weren’t too much of a problem. The apartment had everything we needed for a very enjoyable week.

Spacious, clean, well stocked and well positioned.

We had a great time staying here and it offered our family of 4 everything we needed. It was the best stocked place we have ever stayed in, absolutely everything we needed. The views are stunning and the bike paths are fantastic. Biking was the main reason to choose this place and most days we biked to Penbray Country Park and in the evenings Burry Port for a drink at the sailing club. It's a lovely cycle route and it goes on and on and on. 377 miles long I believe if you want to really tour on a bike. One word of warning for bikers. There are bike sheds but you might struggle for space to lock bikes. We had 4 and I could only get two in the nearest shed. I locked one against my car and kept the other inside. I was warned prior to booking to be fair, but took the chance. Glad I did, but if you have expensive bikes like us, be prepared to be inventive about how you lock them up. The penthouse was clean, tidy and easy to find. The owner was very helpful and the whole experience was great. We considered the local restaurant which looked nice, but as we know the area, we travelled into Mumbles and ate at the new Bistro Pierre opposite Joe's Ice Cream. This has all been done up and I thoroughly recommend it if you are over that way.

Superb apartment with an amazing view

We booked this apartment for 18 nights due to working in the area, started with 2 ending as 3. What a place and great location with amazing views especially to wake up too. The penthouse apartment is modern and well presented. Very comfortable, well equipped with everything you'd need for a self catering holiday including towels! Spacious, over 2 levels and 3 guys had more than enough space to have our own space. Can't comment too much about the area as we were working but the building is quiet and inviting. Sally the owner is brilliant great communication from start to finish and more than happy to answer any question. Would recommend Gower view penthouse, and hope to get down for a summer job.

Could have moved in!

What a lovely penthouse. We were blessed with lovely weather all week but I'm sure it would have been equally enjoyable if it wasn't so good. It was an ideal location for my husband and I to catch up with our 3 children that have now all flown the next. Yes there are stairs, but this was only an inconvenience when unloading on arrival as we had to empty the car quickly to pick up from the train station, after that it was fine and I don't do stairs!! We sat for hours just watching the ever changing view. Looking forward to revisiting in the future.

Luxury accommodation with amazing views!

What a lovely apartment! The views hit you as soon as you enter the living room or master bedroom. We could never tire of watching the tides here. Well worth climbing the stairs for! The whole apartment felt clean & well kept. There was everything you could need for a comfortable holiday. Sally went out of her way to make sure we had all we needed for our children. Great communication with her during the booking process. Our 3 year old loved scooting along the cycle path or watching the dog walkers. We enjoyed watching kite surfers, boats & spotting the lighthouses. We'd definitely recommend this apartment for a relaxing break!

Quality apartment with stunning sea views

The property was perfect for exploring the local area and further afield in South Wales. We really enjoyed the trips over to the Gower and Brecon Beacons National Park, but there are so many excellent places nearby. It is really nice to return to a clean comfortable and very well equipment penthouse apartment after an active day and admire the views from the panoramic windows over the coastline.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Purnell

Host profile image
We are a professional couple who now have a little more leisure time away from the office. Gower View Penthouse is our family holiday home, we live in Birmingham and so could not be further from the sea. We visit regularly to enjoy the peace and quiet as well as all the area has to offer. We have 2 married daughters and 4 grandchildren under the age of 12. All the generations really enjoy staying in the penthouse.

Why they chose this property

We decided to buy Gower View Penthouse in May 2007. We viewed it on a wet and windy day but still fell in love with the penthouse and spectacular view! When staying there we enjoy golf, walking, cycling, tennis, the beautiful beaches and the great selection of restaurants nearby. Whatever the weather there is so much to do in the area and so many places to visit.

What makes this property unique

The view is breathtaking and constantly changing.
The sunsets are spectacular.
In just a few steps you can be on the beach or heading along the traffic free coastal path on foot or by bike.
The Gower Peninsula, Pembrokeshire and the Brecon Beacons National Park are all within easy reach.
There is just so much to do whatever the weather and so many different places to eat.

The Penthouse is a 10-15 minute drive from the M4, it takes us just over 2 hours 30minutes to drive from Birmingham via the Heads of the Valley road - a beautiful route. There is an out of town shopping centre Trostre Parc just a 8 minute drive away which provides all the shopping you could want. Tesco, Asda and Morrisons are all within in 10 minute drive and some guests arrange a home delivery before their stay.
