Our last blog focused on the great news that Wales will host the 2026 Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026 with its winning theme of ‘Pasture, Passion, Plate’.

On that theme, we’re staying close to home, and offering you a traditional Gower breakfast recipe that showcases the pasture (and coast) of the Gower peninsula, the passion of our local producers and retailers, and the ease in which you can combine ingredients and plate it up.

Fresh out of the oven is the wonderful news that the world’s biggest culinary event is coming to Wales in 2026 after Wales defeated Italy 28-24 in a final vote. The Worldchefs Congress & Expo will bring together a global body of hospitality professionals, attracting 1,000 chefs, 5,000 visitors from 100+ countries when it convenes at Wales’ iconic International Conference Centre (ICC) in Newport. This equates with the World Cup coming to Wales!

It’s that time of year where everywhere you look, you read ‘best of lists’ so at Bayview, Oxwich, we thought we’d look back over 2022 and pick out our top 5 highlights of the year.

It’s not too soon to start thinking about lacing up your walking boots and getting ready for the 2023 programme of Mighty Hikes organised by Macmillan Cancer UK. At Bayview, Oxwich we’re planning to make it a New Year’s resolution to get fit ready for July 8th when this wonderful fundraising hiking event takes place in our very own Gower peninsula.

At Bayview, Oxwich, when we can tear ourselves away from the beautiful Gower peninsula, to go on holiday with our three girls, the first thing we want to know is: What’s there to do for kids where we’re heading.

The Festive Season starts early in Gower and Swansea, with a long list of Christmas and wintery experiences and events getting going in the next couple of weeks. So it’s a great time of year to come and stay in one of our luxury rental properties at Bayview, Oxwich: the crowds are few but there’s so much to do.

The countdown has already begun for Swansea and Gower’s Iron Man 70.3 taking place on 16th July, 2023.

At Bayview we sometimes take the glorious Gower peninsula for granted. Guests who stay with us in our luxury holiday rental properties, tell us that Gower’s got the lot – everything you need for a family or couples holiday by the sea. So perhaps now’s a good a time as ever to remind ourselves just what we’re blessed with.

The word for ‘welcome’ in Welsh is ‘croeso’. But whatever language you speak, at Bayview, Oxwich we aim to go the extra mile to welcome you here to your holiday rental property and for you to enjoy and extra-special stay with us.

In September the sea around the Gower peninsula is at its warmest after the heat of the summer. The crowds have gone and the evenings still have some light. It’s a perfect month to swim or surf. What’s more, you can swim or surf at the same time as seeing the sun come up or go down as Gower is such a compact peninsula affording both east and west-facing beaches.

We’re spoiled for choice in Gower for perfect pit stops to relax, and take time out with a coffee and a cake, and at the same time take in the fabulous views that our cafes offer along with great food.

It’s almost time to lace up your boots and get involved in the Gower Walking Festival. The acclaimed festival runs from Saturday, 3rd September until Sunday, 11th September and offers participants 9 days and 33 walks that celebrate Gower’s unique landscape and rich heritage.
