About this property

Resting in Crofty, Swansea, on the cusp of Gower AONB is Ty Marlyn, a superb, four-bedroom property. Enjoying far-reaching views of the estuary and a remote location away from the hustle and bustle, whilst providing up to 12 guests and two small furry companions with a contemporary interior, flexible sleeping arrangements, a wrap-around garden with hot tub, and an external games room, the property makes a wonderful base for a group celebration. Park up on the private driveway which offers ample parking before reaching the open-plan living space, adorning stylish furnishings, state-of-the-art appliances, and expansive vistas out to the garden, all of which is ground floor disabled wheelchair accessible (Note : the only bed available on the ground floor is the double sofabed); here you can rustle up delicious meals within the sleek kitchen, gather around the twelve-seater dining table, or unwind upon the plush sofas with the Smart TV on in the backdrop. Tie off any loose ends in the study, before locating the first-floor sitting room, perfect for some peace and quiet, discover the snug, boasting a gaming station and PlayStation console, or venture outside to the games room for a competitive afternoon. As the sun begins to set, take advantage of your outdoor space by dining alfresco or climbing into the bubbling hot tub, returning indoors for a film night. Ty Marlyn offers four immaculate bedrooms, including a king-size with balcony and en-suite, two further king-size doubles and a twin which has two additional trundle beds to sleep four, all with Jack-and-Jill access to shower facilities; you'll also locate a convenient shower room on the ground floor.

Awaken to breath-taking views across the Loughor River, before beginning your itinerary, starting off with a tour at The Gower Brewery and its local produce, a stroll around the remains of Weobley Castle, an afternoon at the many beaches available to you in the Gower Peninsula, or some family fun at Perriswood Archery & Falconry. Travelling towards the centre of Swansea, discover the pretty grounds of Swansea Botanical Gardens, tour the magnificent rainforest of Plantasia Tropical Zoo, visit Swansea Museum, or enjoy a picnic around Singleton Park Boating Lake. The LC2 is a must to keep the children entertained and on your return to base, hike across Mumbles Hill Local Nature Reserve and enjoy an ice cream at Verdi's in Mumbles, with spectacular views back across the bay! Delve deeper into Gower with visits to Port Eynon and Oxwich before letting Rhossili Beach and Worm's Head positively take your breath away! Book your next group break at the wonderful Ty Marlyn.

Between the towns of Llanelli and Swansea, near the River Loughor's estuary, is the village of Crofty. Crofty is the perfect place for anyone looking to get away from the daily grind while still being close to the attractions of the surrounding area because it is only a short drive from the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The same-named bar and grill in Crofty offers friendly, attentive service while serving delectable cuisine crafted using regional ingredients.

    They did come out to put bleach in, but it put us off using it. I would also say cleaning of the bathrooms wasn’t up to scratch- lots of hairs in the shower from previous occupants.

  • Julia

    local pub and shop about 5-10 minute walk away. Had a girlie weekend and was amazing. Hot tub was an added bonus for next day hangover aid… Kitchen well stocked and plenty of parking space outside the property. Would love to return with family for a short break.

  • Tim

    The house itself is brilliant for the six of us, but not sure it would cater for 12 people comfortably with number of beds and lounge chairs. TV and car charging facilities excellent. Bedroom and bathrooms were excellent, showers were brilliant. The reason I have dropped a couple of the scores is some of the property/facilities were in need of updating given the price of the property. Some doors didn't open, hot tub small even for six, games room needs a refresh, benefit from a coffee machine, wine fridge needs fixing, outside table fire pit needs fixing and bin situation not ideal. For a pet friendly property it wouldn't take much to secure the garden. I have to call out Darren the agent who risked life to change the battery in the smoke alarm that started bleeping 1am the first night we were there, it was fixed by the time we got back on Monday so a great response.
