Outstanding shepherds hut perfectly located to visit family in Killay. It had very high standards of comfort, cleanliness and equipment/facilities. lovely to watch the Indian runner ducks, hens and doves on a morning. Easy to contact the agency with any queries both before and during our visit.

Neighborhood info

Upper Killay is a peaceful area, located just seconds from the Award-Winning Gower Peninsula. We are only 15 minutes from some fantastic golden sandy beaches, such as Caswell and Langland, with Oxwich, Three Cliffs, Port Eynon and Rhossilli Bays, to name a few, within 40 minute drive. The famous fishing village of Mumbles is also about a 20 minute drive away, with many cafes, restaurants and boutique shops, along with Oystermouth Castle and Swansea Bay to explore. In Killay village, we have a variety of shops, supermarkets and independent bakeries (please try the hot welsh cakes from Davies’ Bakery!). There are also pubs, restaurants (Miller & Carter and Killay Spice) and a cafe. The hut is close to all local amenities, being near the junction of the North and South Gower Roads is very easy for travel. The bus stop is situated outside the house for travel to Swansea City and the Gower. There is a nearby cycle track leading to Swansea, Mumbles, Llanelli, Pembrey Country Park and beyond.
