Stunning area
Very well equipped, clean and cosy. with stunning views from the windows. An ideal base for investigating the lovely Afan Valley. Also close enough for Mumbles, Gower and Swansea.
Off road parking. Lovely garden but a lot of stairs to deal with.

Great property at gorgeous location!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Peak! Sarah responded quickly. After our stay we thought we had forgotten something (which we found later) but Sarah was helpful then too by asking cleaners if they found anything. I love the fact that dogs are allowed, and the Afan Valley views are absolutely gorgeous! It has all the amenities of home (including a private washer/dryer) which is really nice! Thank you for the wonderful experience and we do hope to check out the Cornish peak one day 😃.
God bless (John 3:16) and my kindest regards,
