The Upper Gower is hosted by me, Caroline, and my young son. We stumbled into hosting quite by chance — and it truly changed our lives. After losing J's Dad, we found ourselves facing a difficult new chapter. Hosting offered us not just a way to rebuild, but a sense of connection, purpose, and hope. What began as a practical decision became something far more meaningful. We’re incredibly grateful to every guest who chooses to stay — your visits have helped support our little family in more ways than we can express. We’ve put care into creating a space that feels calm, bright, and welcoming — a home where guests can properly relax, whether you’re here for work, family time, or a quiet coastal break. While we’re not based locally, we’re always just a phone call away if you need anything during your stay. And for anything urgent, we have a reliable local team on hand to assist with emergencies or support. Thank you for being part of our story — we hope The Upper Gower feels like a true home from home for you.
