Description

Penmaen Manor is set in a perfect seaside location with fine golden sands as far as the eye can see. Dunes and downs surround the house for walkers and naturalists to explore. Overlooking Three Cliffs Bay and only a 15 minute walk down a rugged path over the dunes to Great Tor Bay - 30 minutes back! This is a safe walk with no roads to cross. Tor Bay is a superb sweep of very fine sand backed by high dunes curving 2 miles round to Oxwich.Garden feature - the garden pavilion is a cool or cosy outdoor Summerhouse where you can enjoy undercover garden pleasures such as pre-dinner drinks, light lunches, or just recovering after a long beach walk. The countryside nearby is ideal for walking and riding and a painters dream. There are good local pubs and Swansea is 15 minutes drive, which has marvelous shops, restaurants, marina and maritime museum, one of the largest markets in Wales, cinemas, theatres and golf courses. Penmaen Manor House dating back to the early 1600s has one of the finest views overlooking Three Cliffs Bay. Large landscaped gardens surround the house with plenty of space, even to have a game of cricket! For pure luxury you can spend time in the heated indoor swimming pool and sauna, which is entirely for your own use. A holiday here offers you a chance to return to the days of gracious family living.  In bad weather, a modern barn for indoor games, provide SKITTLE ALLEY and SOFT BALL TENNIS COURT.

Reviews

Absolutely wonderful holiday home for our family of 14. There was so much for everyone to do in the house so didn’t have to worry about weather. Wonderful gardens and views, and so many lovely walks and places to visit. We would love to come again!!

Mrs G,

Penmaen house is a large old house with lovely views from the grounds . It also benefits from footpath access from the grounds to not only the nearby beach and great beach walks but also to the coast path between Three Cliffs Bay and Oxwich which is a beautiful area.

Mrs H,

We stayed here for my 60th Birthday with a group of friends and we all had a fantastic time , I highly recommend this house and location . So peaceful and gave a very relaxing atmosphere with French Country House vibes plus fantastic views. But if you want some activities there is plenty on offer and a well kept Swimming Pool plus a footpath nearby down to the beach. We would love to return one day again, so pleased to have found this Gem. Karl. All

Mr E,

Lovely location and overall range of facilities although some were not working up to standard which was disappointing given the description and rental cost.

Mr Richard M,

Absolutely beautiful property in perfect location for beach and a short drive to country parks and pubs close by. Swansea town also only a short drive away so has everything a big family could need for a perfect holiday come rain or shine. Even photo spots in the garden with features in keeping with the beauty of the area.

Mrs Ruth E,

A lovely location and a good size house but I am disappointed to say I would not recommend it or revisit in its current state. Reasons listed below: Too cluttered to keep clean Moth eaten carpets Broken bathroom facilities No lock on pool door had to move a cupboard to ensure 4yr old didn’t get in. No lights in sauna broke during our stay spoke to Ros but no follow up. No welcome pack useful to know when bin day etc is No very OAP step father fell off broken toilet seat. No bags to put bed sheets/towels in. Wi fi patchy Using a basket on the lawn mower would have stopped us having to brush all the outdoor chairs/ tables twice. Inventory needs updating second dishwasher had no shelves in it and water in the bottom. Ventilation poor in the laundry room if using the tumble dryer. This house has such potential but needs investment to make it worth the price it commands. Happy to talk about the experience and share photos.

Mrs Amanda B,

A great experience. There is some evidence of wear and tear at the property but it did not distract from the fabulous holiday.

Mrs J C,
