Along the open expanse of Cefn Bryn, past roaming sheep and ponies, on the outskirts of the village of Reynoldston stands Hayes Farm House and Granary.

The 16th century stone Farm House and Granary provide comfortable, stylish and tranquil accommodation for 5 and 4 people respectively, set in a stunning location with extensive uninterrupted views over pastureland and Rhossili Downs.

The Farm House and Granary form a traditional Welsh long House which can be traced back to 1725. It is no longer a working farm and more recently has undergone sensitive restoration using traditional locally sourced materials, taking account of the Gower vernacular.  Such has been the attention to detail; the work has been recognised by the Gower Society, Civic Trust for Wales and Lord Mayor Design Awards. Thoughtful, considered fittings and styling ensures an effective balance of character and contemporary living.

The mature gardens, bursting with vibrant colours in the summer are a delight with secluded seating areas to settle with a book, listen to bird song or sip a glass of wine and contemplate the view - the elevated decking area, suspended over meadowland providing the ultimate view.

The swimming pool, heated in the summer months gives an added dimension – be it an energising early morning swim or a relaxing cooling dip on a hot day.  The pool, along with the adjacent conservatory, is a shared facility with the guests of both properties.

Secure storage is available for walking gear, surf boards, bikes and golf clubs.

Located in the heart of Gower, step out onto extensive walking routes across Cefn Bryn to King Arthurs Stone – the highest point on Gower with 360 degree views up to the Brecon Beacons, over salt marshes to the Pembrokeshire Coast and across the Bristol Channel to Devon – alternatively take a short stroll to the Post Office and onto to the local pub The King Arthur.   Numerous blue flag beaches and sandy coves are a 5- 10 minute drive away whilst the amenities of the maritime City of Swansea and the renowned fishing village of Mumbles are 20 minutes away.

It is a great place from which to explore the outstanding Gower Peninsular or just relax from the stresses and strains of everyday life - it really is a special escape!
