Location just a block from the beach is great
The Hollie House is a unque apartment rental above the owners ground floor home. It is spacious, and comfortable, but not as new or newly remodeled as many Vbro offerings, and is a bit difficult to find. The owners are very friendly and will accommodate needs for you when asked, but don't expect much in the way of extras. The charm is the quaint village setting and beach.

Super Ausgangspunkt zur Entdeckung der Gower-Halbinsel
Das Hollies war perfekt, um die Halbinsel mit ihren wunderschönen Buchten zu entdecken und in die Wellen zu springen oder zu surfen. Im großen Garten haben die Kinder es genossen, auf dem Trampolin zu springen. Lauras Familie war super nett! In der Wohnung gab es alles, was wir brauchten. Allerdings muss einem bewusst sein, dass hier die Zeit etwas stehen geblieben ist.

Hide away in Horton
Comfortable second floor flat which is well equipped, with sea views and only 2 mins walk from a fine beach in a quiet corner of Gower. A smashing place to chill out.
