Y Stabl

Tucked away down a peaceful woodland lane in the pretty village of Llanrhidian, Y Stabl is a beautifully converted one-bedroom former stable offering a tranquil escape on the stunning Gower Peninsula. Sitting directly on the Wales Coast Path, this charming hideaway is perfect for those looking to slow down, reconnect with nature and explore one of Wales’ most beautiful areas.

The Space

Y Stabl forms part of Woodlands House which has been been the owners home for over 20 years. The building itself is around 100 years old and has had many lives — from working stables to creative workshops. During the renovation, original features such as beautiful stained glass were carefully preserved and incorporated into the space, giving Y Stabl its unique character.

The property is self-contained, located next to Y Llofft (a separate listing), and close to the main house, while still offering privacy and a real sense of escape.

Stone steps lead up to the entrance and into a quirky, open-plan living space with a cosy sitting area, dining table and modern kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with:

• Electric oven and hob

• Integrated fridge with freezer compartment

• Dishwasher and microwave

• Pots, pans, crockery and glassware

Downstairs you’ll find a shower room and toilet, while upstairs the bedroom features a super-king bed, nestled into the eaves for a truly snug and characterful feel.

Freshly laundered bed linen and bath towels are provided (please bring your own beach towels if needed). To help you settle in after your journey, you’ll also find a small welcome selection of tea, coffee, milk, sugar waiting for you.

Outside, Y Stabl has an enclosed seating area — a perfect spot to relax with a drink and watch the sun set after a day exploring Gower.
