The location

Although we are only five miles from Swansea we are in a spectacular location on one of the seven hills of Swansea overlooking the sea and quite secluded. Keeper's Cottage and Barn Owl Lodge are reached by a mile long stone drive through beautiful Clyne Woods where there is a chance to glimpse wildlife such as buzzards, foxes, badgers and rabbits. The Gower beaches start a mile away and there are walks over moorland from our doorstep.

Our area

Beaches in summer and winter, on site riding stables catering for all levels of rider, indoor climbing, archery , raft building and Challenge Valley - the muddiest assault course in the world - all on site.

In Swansea there is the National Waterfront Museum and the Wales National Swimming Pool as well as theatres, cinemas, Swansea Arena and ten pin bowling. The Gower beaches with miles of golden sands are hard to beat.
