Welcome to Mumbles
OAKLAND HOUSE
Our Holiday Home
Set in an elevated position in the heart of Mumbles with stunning sea views across Swansea Bay lies this deceptively large Victorian townhouse spread out across 4 thoughtfully decorated floors. As you walk through the front door of Oakland House you are met with a stylish, light-filled living area complete with cosy log burner, Smart TV, and dining area. Leading through to the spacious, well-equipped kitchen you will find a large decked area via patio doors that features wonderful sea views and pretty olive trees – the perfect setting for al fresco dining. Both the lower ground floor and 2nd floor are fantastic spaces to relax away from the main living areas with the latter boasting far reaching bay views over the surrounding rooftops. This really is the perfect family home for all seasons.
Explore Mumbles and Beyond
A brilliant selection of independent stores, restaurants and cafes can be found within a 5-minute walk of the property as well as the 5-mile seafront promenade that stretches around the bay to Swansea Marina. Known locally as the ‘Gateway to Gower’, Mumbles marks the beginning of the Gower Peninsula’s rugged coastline with access to some stunning, award-winning beaches and breath-taking views. The popular beaches of Langland and Rotherslade Bay are a short walk from the house where you can also take the Wales Coastal Path along the cliffs to Caswell Bay. Oxwich Bay, Rhossili and Three Cliffs Bay are pet-friendly beaches throughout the year – ideal for tiring out your four-legged friend and there are some delicious pubs to sample on your way home.
