  • ✓ October - November: Crisp autumn colour, cosy evenings by the fire, quieter attractions

  • ✓ March - April: Spring blooms, longer evenings returning, wildlife becoming active
🌧️
Rainy Day Tip: A large cottage comes into its own on wet days - board games, a long lunch and a film with the whole group beat a cramped hotel any day. Check the tabs here for nearby pubs and attractions with indoor options.

Fennel Cottage Reviews

Hilary
Wonderful views of the seashore! Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Friendly owner.
Michelle
What a fantastic cottage in a fabulous location with a view of the sea from the living area.
Carol
A beautiful setting and a lovely house for our long weekend break. Some of the beds were a bit squeaky; otherwise everything was comfortable and had everything we needed.
Debra
The cottage was ideally placed for an incredible sea view and walking along the beautiful beach. We visited in October and the heating kept it lovely and warm.
Ian
We had a great time at Fennel Cottage. It was comfortable, clean and all our needs were met and then some. Jitu and the team were very friendly and available. There were a number of extras that made the stay so brill. It's easy to find and there is plenty of private parking available. It was well equipped with hand soap, toilet roll and kitchen roll. There were plenty of towels, a hair dryer, iron and a laundry stand. The views were amazing giving an outlook over the whole bay. There were shops, 2 pubs and 2 chippies within 5 minutes walking that you wouldn't know were there from the cottage so didn't interfere with your stay. The beach was a 5 minute stroll and you could be swimming in no time! There were plenty of walks along the coast to Oxwich, Rhossili and Worms Head. Further afield are some great pubs for food, boat cruises and Swansea itself. Even though it was just a tad pricey I would say book it and be reassured that you'll have a great time.
