Perfect
Beautiful property, 10 minute walk from a Sandy bay. On a road but not busy and didn’t detract from the peace and quiet. Property was very cosy, welcoming and clean, with everything one could need for a short stay. Stayed with my daughter and would revisit again. Loved watching the stars from the bedroom skylight window.

A true home from home
Having stayed in and around Rhossili for years now, this is the first time we have stayed in a house setting.
The owner was lovely and really helpful, especially when we locked ourselves out. We were surprised to find the host had even provided some essentials, such as Welsh cakes, milk, eggs, and brew making items.
The house was not big but homely and very well set out.
The stairs would be a struggle for some and the shower was quite small, although there was lots of hot water and the pressure was amazing. There was lots of thought gone into the comfort of guests, including blankets in the lounge and extras in the bedroom.
An added bonus was the friendly dogs we met as well as the horses in the next field. Only a short walk to Wormshead and the beach.

Lovely cottage near Rhossili Bay
Great cottage in a lovely quiet location a short walk from Rhossili bay and Worms Head. Lots of good walks directly from the cottage. Parking space by cottage.
Downstairs very comfortable, comfortable bed, good facilities throughout. Sloping ceilings upstairs mean headroom may be an issue for some.
Really nicely upgraded traditional cottage with garden terrace with patio table etc.
Lovely package of basics and treats to welcome us on arrival.
