About this property

Escape to a cliff top location superb sea views. No traffic noise. Pets welcome

Clovercliff is a gem of a cottage that overlooks the sea and some of the most spectacular coastline in the 'Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' if not the British Isles. Perched two hundred feet above and within three hundred yards of the coast of the Bristol Channel, it can be found in Google Earth at 51 deg. 33’ 34.23”N and 4 deg. 16’ 24.24”W. Whether you like walking, painting, bird watching, surfing, climbing, paragliding, or want a great location for a family holiday this is an outstanding place within 10 minutes walk of Mewslade Bay. It is also within a mile and a half of Rhossili which boasts three miles of sandy beach. For peace, quiet and somewhere to relax and watch the changes in light and weather, it often seems unbeatable. Many spectacular walks can be taken directly from the cottage along the coast or over Rhossili Down. Other natural and historic wonders of The Gower are within easy reach by car or bike. You could also venture further to Swansea with its shops, or to the National Botanic Garden of Wales, or the historic castles of Kidwelly, Weobley and Penrice.

Perfect respite for hard working Guide Dogs.......and their staff :-)
Oh my goodness, what a find, what a gem of a place! We wanted cosy isolation with stunning views, and walks for the dogs on our doorstep and the cottage did not disappoint. We had good days walking, with breath taking views at every turn, spaces for the dogs to run free and be regular dogs, and hang up their super hero Guide Dog capes. The gardens were fenced in (but doesn't impede the view from inside)and they loved being able to run right around the property and play chase! The cottage is very thoughtfully kitted out, with minute attention to detail. The bed was so comfy, and the evenings by the roaring fire capped off wonderful days. One word of caution....if like the rest of my family you need maxed out central heating, all your electronics to work and a shop / take away close by, then this cottage is not for you......but that leaves it for the rest of us to luxuriate in! Liz and Delyth have very thoughtful notes, that are just where you need them to answer any queries without having to speak to anyone...bliss again! Needless to say, we will be back, in a heartbeat!

Perfect getaway from everyday life in stunning location
Set in beautiful surroundings, this property is perfectly located for stunning cliff top walks. Due to its remote location and its tranquillity, Clover Cliff feels like you're safely tucked away far from the rest of the world (though there is a village nearby). The perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and (in my case) to focus on my writing. I visited in late February and the house wasn't particularly warm overall (it only has night-storage heaters), however it was lovely to warm up by wood-burning oven in the evenings. As other reviewers have mentioned, the drive through the farm needs to be approached carefully due to the potholes in the road, but the property managers warned of this issue prior to arrival. All in all, I had a fantastic stay and would visit again.

Lovely peaceful location with great views and easy access to lots of good walks
A lovely little rustic bungalow on the cliff top close to Rhossili Bay. Well stocked with information about the history and geology of the local area together with maps and books for walking. Good bird watching and very tranquil! With no TV or wifi it's a great place to escape from the bustle of everyday life!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Lucas

Host profile image
The Lucas Family have managed Clover Cliff since 2008 when Ollie and Liz took it over from Ollie's cousin, Patrick and the Robin family. It has been a labour of love as we have made significant improvements fitting double glazing, bringing toilet access indoors (yes indoors!), a new kitchen, new bathroom and hot water system and new
storage heaters. The roof has also been renewed and isulated for cosy winter weeks beside the log burner (logs provided!) and the parking area in the field is surfaced to help with access which was sometimes a challenge in wet weather in the past. We aim to provide something that is practical and comfortable but which lets the natural surroundings speak for themselves.
Working on this has brought us into contact with such friendly and supportive local people and neighbours. Although we do not live locally we aim to always be available on the end of a phone and have great people who look after the house and grounds in our absence.

Why they chose this property

The house was built by Ollie’s grandparents to give their children close contact with the natural world away from the noise and pollution of London. They were passionate about Gower and were involved in the beginnings of the Gower Society and in the campaign to have it made an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Ollie’s mother was staying at Clover Cliff when he was born and the small murals painted on the plaster of the sitting room were done by his grandfather, mother and aunts. He felt the place was in his bones and although he only lived there a short time, loved wandering the cliffs and beaches as a boy. Now it is not only our business project and families holiday home but also an inspiration for artists like Ollie.
Sadly, Ollie died unexpectedly in 2015 but his wife, Liz and their children and grand children continue to enjoy all the activities that Clover Cliff and the Gower has to offer and continue to enable others to do the same.

What makes this property unique

Fantastic sea views, seclusion, slowing down, chilling out, contemplating the changing light and sea, watching birds, sharing our love of the natural outdoors with our children and grandchildren without having to get in a car first. Walking to Mewslade beach, surfing and making sandcastles, barbecues on the shingle at Ramsgrove and walking our dog, Ernie. Finding a secret place to sit alone on the cliffs. Walking to Hillend for lunch over Rhossili Down and back along Rhossili beach. The walk to the end of the Worm when the tide is right. Listening to winter storms outside beside the cosy wood burner. Friendly neighbours. Drawing in Mewslade valley (and just about everwhere else!) Waking up and watching the light change over The Worm as the sun comes up with a cup of tea in bed!
Evening meals or a BBQ and wine looking at the sunset.
Chasing rabbits - I never caught one (Ernie the dog).
