Welcome to Riverbank!
We're thrilled to announce that renovations are in progress for our second traditional holiday cottage, set to be available for bookings in Winter 2023!
We've finally acquired the keys to this charming cottage. It was love at first sight when we first laid eyes on it five months ago. A quintessential Welsh cottage, cosy and snug, with a rear extension that's in need of some TLC.
To tub or not to tub?
The highlight for us was stepping into the garden. With its stunning view of rolling hills and the soothing sound of the river Afon Gwili flowing nearby, it's truly picturesque. The estate agent couldn't stop raving about the idea of a hot tub in this spot, accompanied by a glass of champagne. It sounded dreamy, but in reality, how would we even get it in here? A crane, a hefty sum, and some sleepless nights—maybe in a few years, if Joe agrees!
Honestly, the estate agent didn't need to do much convincing; we were sold the moment we walked in. This cottage was the perfect addition to our holiday cottage portfolio.
Location, Location, Location.
In the months leading up to our offer being accepted, we scoured countless properties in and around Swansea. We made offers, engaged in bidding wars, placed sealed bids, and even had a sale fall through at the last minute.
But then came a glimmer of hope.
We decided to expand our search into the neighbouring county of Carmarthenshire and stumbled upon Riverbank cottage. Nestled right on the border of Swansea and only two minutes from the M4, the village of Hendy offers the ideal setting for guests to explore South Wales.
What's to come?
Now that we have the keys, it's time to roll up our sleeves, grab our sledgehammer, and dive into renovations. Sounds easy, right? Especially with a newborn baby and winter looming around the corner.
