Description
The Boat House in Port Eynon delivers a one-of-a-kind coastal getaway, offering big groups and families the chance to stay right at the water’s edge with the sea stretching out before you.
Once South Gower’s lifeboat station, the building has been thoughtfully transformed into a spacious seaside retreat where its maritime history is still very much felt.
Salt-tinged air, sweeping shoreline views, and the dramatic beauty of the Gower Peninsula all come together to create an unforgettable setting in Britain’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
A gentle wander through the side garden sets the tone for your stay.
Inside, a generous hallway gives everyone room to drop sandy shoes and hang coats, while the utility room takes care of the practical bits.
The main living space is the showstopper.
Vast, bright, and designed for groups to spend quality time together, it offers a huge sweep of seating gathered around a central woodburning stove, great for cooler evenings or lively post-beach storytelling.
There is also a snug area.
Meals feel celebratory around the long dining table, and the separate commercial-style kitchen means cooking for a crowd is genuinely easy, with multiple ovens, ample hob space, and everything you need to feed sixteen hungry guests.
Downstairs showers and toilets add convenience for beach days.
Upstairs, the master bedroom commands jaw-dropping sea views with a double bed, those mornings when you draw the curtains feel like something from a postcard, and it enjoys its own en-suite.
The bunk rooms make brilliant spaces for children or friends, The outdoors remains one of The Boat House’s greatest joys.
Benches on the old sea wall give you a front-row seat to the tide as it moves in and out, while the enclosed garden provides a safe place for children and dogs to explore.
With the beach literally on your doorstep, days naturally fall into an easy rhythm of paddling, exploring rock pools, and breathing in the fresh coastal air.
Port Eynon brings a friendly, laid-back village atmosphere, complete with a welcoming pub, local shops, and that timeless seaside charm.
Beyond the village, the Gower Peninsula invites you to discover its wild headlands, dramatic cliffs, and over fifty unspoilt beaches, from the iconic Three Cliffs Bay and the sweeping sands of Rhossili to sheltered coves perfect for family picnics.
Nearby, Mumbles offers boutique shopping, Oystermouth Castle, and scenic walks along the promenade.
Swansea boasts the National Waterfront Museum, Plantasia Tropical Zoo, and a vibrant marina.
In Gorseinon, enjoy local parks, golf courses, and welcoming eateries.
The Boat House offers something truly special with some of the most captivating sea views you’ll ever wake up to for an immense holiday feeling.

What guests are saying
Really fantastic location, could not be near the sea and beautiful coastal walks right from the door.
Property was very comfortable but only half converted from the previous youth hostel. Bedrooms and sitting room were amazing, stunning views out to the sea from the sitting room and master bedroom. However, the kitchen and downstairs toilets / showers were basic and appeared unchanged from the time this property was a youth hostel…functional but in need of converting (if charging higher rental rates). Would be best to remove the old YHA signs too, we had some strangers turn up in the evening wanting to use our facilities so a bit confusing. All in all a lovely stay with a family group and would go back
