It’s official. Hot off the press is the news that Gower is home to four of Wales’ top 50 restaurants. The list, published in Wales Online was published on 31st March 2024, and acknowledges the excellence and diversity of restaurants across the whole of Wales. And at Bayview, Oxwich we’re not surprised to see our favourite eateries receive the accolade of being up there with the best.

At Bayview Oxwich the primroses are out and the bluebells in our woods about to burst into bloom. Spring is definitely springing! It’s such a great season to be out and about and see what Gower has to offer, as we often have to remind ourselves (and our guests) that Gower was the UK’s first-ever designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB 1956) and Spring shows us why.

Well the daffodils and primroses are out here at Bayview Oxwich heralding the arrival of spring. It’s hard to believe that summer will be here soon and with it the annual Gower Festival which takes place in the first two weeks of July.

Guests staying at our luxury holiday rental properties at Bayview Oxwich can now experience a new and exciting perspective on Mumbles and Swansea Bay. On 9th February, 2024, the much-anticipated Big Wheel attraction now sited at Mumbles Pier opened its carriages to those eager to see Mumbles and Swansea like never before!

At Bayview Oxwich we love a good story. And this one takes some beating. Especially since it’s about food which is of great interest to our family here and of course, to our guests.

Forgive us here at Bayview, Oxwich for giving a shout out (again!) to yet another award that has been bestowed on one of Gower’s most iconic beaches – Rhossili Bay. But our view is that you can never have too much of a good thing!

2024 sees an ever-increasing interest in wild or open water-swimming. At Bayview we haven’t yet tried it ourselves but someone in our close family is always flagging up the benefits. It is said to be a sensory experience like no other and a chance to live in the moment and forget the stresses of everyday life. So we might just give it a go!

With the New Year 2024 comes a new Doctor Who, when the fifteenth Doctor will be inhabited by the wonderful actor – Ncuti Gatwa.

Whatever the size of your group, or whatever the reason for your stay (perhaps a wedding, or a birthday or anniversary celebration, or just a holiday) we know that visitors to Gower are always looking for a day out that’s that extra bit special and guarantees a great experience for the young and the young at heart.

Having tried it ourselves with our 3 girls (15, 13 and 9) and listened to the feedback of our guests who’ve done the same, and read the positive 5* reviews on Trip Advisor, we’re happy to signpost you to Perriswood Archery & Falconry Centre in Penmaen.

It’s almost the end of another year at Bayview Oxwich and December is always a good time to look back on some of the highlights of the year and look forward to the next.

You might call them get-togethers, gatherings, or getaways. Whatever name you choose, we are pleased to announce that we can now offer Little Haven @Bayview Oxwich, a large and exquisite holiday rental property for those looking for a destination that offers an extra-special experience. So if it’s a birthday, an anniversary, or a landmark place to celebrate with a large group of family of friends, then Little Haven is for you.

Gower has been voted one of the UK’s favourite scenic destinations in a survey by Which magazine.
