Delvid Stables is situated on a 10-acre farm by the beach.

Surrounds
The cottage is a renovated 16th century stable and sits at the end of a dirt track just a stone throw from the sea between Broughton Bay and Llangennith Burrows,
It has it’s own garden and stone barbeque area and where you can eat and relax. The owners live across the courtyard and have their garden behind their house, which assures your privacy. There is a fruit orchard to the right of your garden.

To access the beach, just walk out your door, through our small field and then you are on the dunes. The beach is close enough that you can go in the morning, come back for lunch and go back again for the sunset without ever having to touch your car.
A better summer location would be hard to find.

Interior

As you enter the cottage you are in the kitchen, which has a skylight and a large window in front of the sink. Although we do not have a dishwasher, we have all necessary kitchen appliances, as the owner is fond of cooking. He has been known to cook a ‘welcome meal ‘ for guests if requested, price depending on number of people, wine and menu. The Swansea market is known for it’s local wild Sea bass, Salmon and Sewin, fresh cockles, homemade Welsh Cakes and Sea Asparagus.

Leaving the kitchen you enter in a large open living room / dining room that sits under a sky lit cathedral ceiling, There is a multi fuel stove to take the chill off a cool summer night or heat the house when required. As well, there are economy storage heaters throughout the property. Please note that wood and coal will be charged extra based on amount of usage.

Behind this area there is a large bathroom that contains a bath with overhead shower, a washbasin, a WC and a bidet. Guests should bring their own towels.

Next to the Bathroom is the ground floor bedroom with a double bed.

On the second floor there is a minstrels gallery with TV, music, computer desk with wireless broadband and a sitting area with a settee, and a wooden antique bench.

The master bedroom is entered through this sitting room. It is a large and light room. 
It has a double bed, a small sink, 2 chest of drawers, closets, two rocking chairs and it’s own exterior little terrace entrance.
