The Boathouse terrace offers wonderful views of the Taf estuary and the Gower beyond.
The Boathouse tearoom has a locally sourced, home-cooked menu. As well as the tearoom, there is a furnished front parlour, an upstairs exhibition area showing a 24 minute film, a shop and toilet facilities.
The shop currently sells a variety of books and CDs. Each book purchased can be issued with a unique bookplate, from the Dylan Thomas Boathouse.
It was Dylan Thomas, however, who made the Boathouse iconic. It is the building most closely associated with him and the stability of a permanent home meant he enjoyed a creative renaissance. He worked in the Writing Shed above the Boathouse with its remarkable and inspiring views of four estuaries.
The first poem he wrote there was ‘Over Sir John’s Hill’, in which he describes the view from the shed, writing of birds stalking their prey and bringing death in the midst of this beauty.
Life, death, beauty, tragedy, eternity and God – Dylan could see them all from the window of this unique place.
