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. See www.number62.co.uk.
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.
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.
So all in all, accomodation wise, I guess it depends who you book with. I would recommend No 62, No 38, No 16 & 17 and no 22 & 24, all are fine quality accommodation. (all can be found on the internet) It might be very busy and crowded in high season, but out of season it's fab.
We loved it so much, on our return home we booked again for this september.

Nice details on the prices - I am guessing that the facilities vary depending on who owns whichever bungalow. Would be interested to know how easy it was to book your holiday and what sort of things are available on the pub menu etc, and also what you paid for your holiday.
