At Bayview Oxwich we extend a big welcome (croeso mawr) not only to our visitors of the human kind, but also to their 4-legged friends. With a dog of our own (Luna our lazy Labradoodle) we well understand how important our pets are to family life, and that holidays wouldn’t be the same without a dog in tow.

Towards the end of the school summer holidays, our youngest daughter, Alice, informed us she had a project to do for school on foraging.

The logo is out in the world, the café has been fitted out, and the tables are going in. At Bayview Oxwich we’re so excited to share the news that the Gower Deli at Southgate, Pennard, will soon be open for business this August.

The Gower peninsula has it all when it comes to breath-taking scenery: miles of sandy beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, and ancient castles and churches. No surprises then that it was designated the UK’s fist Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) back in 1956, nor that today it is becoming increasingly popular as a wedding venue. With its stunning and varied backdrops it is a picture-perfect destination for couples to make memories.

Many of the guests who make their base in our luxury holiday accommodation at Bayview Oxwich are walking enthusiasts. They tell us that Bayview Oxwich is a great base for exploring the Gower peninsula on foot, and a great base of guaranteed comfort to return to at the end of a day of foot-slog!

If you haven’t heard already, Bayview Oxwich is delighted to share the news that three Gower and Swansea restaurants have made it into the prestigious 2024 Michelin Guide. You might know that we continue to heap praise on and recommend our guests to our local Michelin Star restaurant, Beach House, here in Oxwich Bay, but we can now steer guests to The Shed at SA1 and Slice, two other wonderful favourite restaurants of ours, in Swansea, our city by the sea, which are included in the guide.

We’re getting excited at Bayview Oxwich as it’s now not long to wait until one of the annual highlights of the Swansea and Gower calendar comes around again. On Saturday, 6th and Sunday, 7th July, 2024, Wales’ much anticipated National Air Show will take to the skies over Swansea Bay. And it’s all free!

At Bayview Oxwich we were delighted to learn recently that one of our guests’ favourite pubs, The Britannia Inn, in Llanmadoc, a beautiful village in the north of the Gower peninsula, has been named one of Wales’ best 8 pubs in The National Pub & Bar Awards 2024.

Bayview was thrilled to see Tŷ Sawna, Oxwich recently showcased on the BBC. We enjoyed it so much we sat down to watch it again on BBC Wales iPlayer

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.
