Gower isn’t just somewhere you visit, it’s somewhere you take part in. People return to Port Eynon again and again because of a rare balance that is hard to find elsewhere: the balance between endurance and ease.

You don’t just visit Port Eynon - you take part in its rhythm and make it your own.

When you wake up in the old lifeboat station, you are connecting to a legacy of community responsibility and the raw power of the sea. It is a rare opportunity to live within a building that anchors the village emotionally while enjoying the comforts of modern life.

We have a saying here: if you don’t like the weather in Wales, just wait ten minutes. But sometimes, the Atlantic mist settles in for the day. While some might see this as a lost day, we believe a rainy day at The Boathouse is a gift.

There is a specific kind of joy in watching a dog experience the Gower for the first time. The sheer scale of the landscape, the variety of scents, and the freedom of the sand make it a canine paradise. At The Boathouse, we don’t just tolerate dogs - we welcome them as part of the family.

Eating well is a core part of the Boathouse experience. Because our large, modern kitchen is designed for group gatherings, many of our guests choose to cook ‘at home’. However, the village and the surrounding peninsula offer a culinary landscape that is deeply rooted in the land and sea.

Walking the Gower Coast Path is often described as a pilgrimage for nature lovers. When you stay at The Boathouse, you are positioned at one of the most dramatic junctions of this path.

Staying at The Boathouse means you don’t have to pack a day bag and hope for the best. You have the luxury of retreating for lunch or a nap and returning when the light is just right.

There is something truly special about waking up at The Boathouse, looking out the window, and seeing the tide roll in over Port Eynon Bay.
