The gower peninsular is amazing. The beaches are the best I have been to ever, and I have travelled most of the world. The dogs could not have had a better time, and in turn, we did.

I have to disagree with Walshies comment and agree with LJJames. There are many bungalows on the Gower Holiday village, about 70 I think. I believe you can book directly with the holiday village, which may well be what Walshies did, to get his poor accomodation, but there are many bungalows that are privately owned, one of which we booked.

No. 62 was very comfortable indeed. The beds are the best I have every slept in away from home, like marshmellows! The crockery and pots and pans were the quality in any normal home, and not junk bought from a thrift shop. The whole ambiance was modern, clean, functional and welcoming, and it truly was a pleasure to stay there. Jules (the owner) has dogs and very much welcomes dogs (there are thows on sofa's and dog bowls and stone and wooden floors) and you can leave them in the bungalow when you go out and, she does not charge you for them. With our 2 greyhounds we felt very comfortable letting them behave like they do at home, that is sleeping on the sofa.
We actually went in July before the schools broke up, so it was very quiet. The campsite has a grocery store, hairdressers, fish & chip shop, laundrette & pub, The Countryman. You can take dogs inside. The people were lovely and the food was very good and very cheap, around £7 for a main course. There was a pharmacy across the road. There was also a huge field for you to excercise your dog off lead. There was a childrens play area and swimming pool, which my husband had to himself.

We loved it so much, on our return home we booked again for this september.

Quick review of Gower Holiday Village
Bungalows are basic with cheap quality and old furnishings. The pans in the kitchen were disgusting, I reported it to reception as I could not have used them, they were replaced with some old pans without lids, but without the scratches and rust the others had! The swimming pool is tatty and is used as a public pool for Gower, hence it is very busy. It is not big enough for this purpose. It does not open until 10 am, when locals pull up and lots of kids pile out into the pool.
I have never been to Pontins, but another holidaymaker who had said it was like a mini Pontins. Would definitely not return or recommend. ...

Advantages: Scenery, beaches, sightseeing, walks, village pubs Disadvantages: Small roads, campsites that fill up too quickly
There is no better place where you can enjoy a day trip, a weekend, a week or even a longer holiday surrounded by such fantastic scenery and friendly people.
Just a 3 and a half hour drive from London (to the further point on the peninsula) it is very easy to get to - either a direct train service (to Swansea) or just 1 motorway (M4) to contend with. The Gower is mostly comprised of small rural villages but there are several larger urban areas there too which adds to the variety. Due it's rural nature a car is essential when visiting. You then have the option for going further afield to visit other attractions nearby such as Pembrokeshire to the west for more scenery and beaches or Cardiff to the east for shopping and culture.
There are 2 main routes into the Gower, along the south through Swansea or along the north through ...
