“Nowhere’s Cooler than Wales…”

…so says Lydia Pang, respected travel journalist and author, in May’s edition of British Vogue. Pang who has spent years living in London, New York, and Portland, has recently returned to live in Wales with her husband, Roo.

But hey, we and our visitors to Bayview Oxwich, have known that since forever! That’s why the owners, the Reilly family, left London in 2014 to return to the gorgeous Gower peninsula, the place of Ellen’s birth, and we haven’t looked black. And that’s why our guests to our collection of luxury holiday rental properties here at Oxwich, return year after year. Because when you know, you know.

In the feature, Pang says she took a little longer to settle stating that it took her years to ‘root back into the moist moss and find [herself] in the morning mist. Wales, with its unrelenting weather and offbeat charm, facilitates a state of undoing.”

Pang’s feature is British Vogue is a beautiful piece of writing, which illustrates tens of places in Wales that embrace the “embodiment of the ‘cool’ we’re all chasing.” It’s well worth ten minutes of your time to read the full article at www.vogue.uk, but you’ll forgive us at Bayview Oxwich, giving a proud shout out to the places Pang highlights close to us here at Oxwich in the Gower peninsula. She flags up Swansea Indoor Market with its cockles and “eclectic mix of stalls,” and right on our doorstep, Oxwich Beach which she deems her “favourite beach” being “ calm in the summer, but even better in the winter” with its acclaimed Michelin Star Beach House Restaurant which is “a pocket of modern, minimalist luxury, right on the sand.”

So now that the secret is out, and Oxwich and Wales are officially on the “cool” list of places to visit, why not make Bayview Oxwich your home from home for as long as you want to stay, summer and winter. We can guarantee that here too you’ll find another “pocketful of modern, minimalist luxury.”

Please contact the Team here at Bayview Oxwich who’ll be happy to talk you through which of our luxury retreats, cottages, apartments, and bungalows would best suit you and your group of friends and families.

We look forward to welcoming you soon to Cool Cymru to experience a state of beautiful undoing!
