Dairymaids Cottage

Recently and carefully converted Dairymaids Cottage is a great
place to holiday amongst friends and family.  There is
practical underfloor heating throughout the ground floor making it
ideal for children and pets alike. The sunny patio terrace is large
and open, perfect for al fresco breakfasts and lazy cocktails after
the day of exploring the fantastic Gower countryside, and miles and
miles of soft sands.

• The full height mezzanine lounge is made cosy in winter by the
  ample log burner and cool in summer with patio doors opening
  directly onto the patio area which lets the sun flood
  in. 



• Leading off the lounge the dining nook overlooks the large
  kitchen, which is flooded with light.  The sparkling sea
  can be glimpsed from here, begging you to hurry
  outdoors. 



• There is a luxury Falcon range cooker which will make family
  dining a breeze.  To the rear is a utility area, ideal
  for sandy dogs to chill out and sleep off long walks.



• There are four bedrooms, two on the ground floor and two on the
  first floor so this cottage is ideal for multi-generation family
  holidays and adventures. There is a bathroom on the ground floor,
  as well as the first floor

Rhossili Beach and Worms Head

• Just out of the front door and over the road you will find
  yourself on the All Wales Coastal Path, and just a short walk to
  iconic Rhossili Bay and Worms Head (NT).



• The Bay Bistro just minutes away serves a great breakfast.
  Wonderful views of Rhossili Beach and home-made cakes. At
  low tide you can see the skeleton of The Helvetia
  shipwreck pushing its ribs out of the sand.

Three Cliffs Bay

• Three Cliffs is one of Gower's most pretty beaches
  and it is easy to see why. The green and sheltered river valley
  leading down to the sea comes complete with castle,
  salt marshes and sand dunes. 



• The Tor Headland is  popular with climbers who can
  often be seen at dizzying heights - high above the sea. You can
  cross the river on stepping stones to the Penmaen side of the bay
  (west) but watch out that the tide doesn't cut off your return! The
  beach has a seasonal lifeguard station - please take care with
  children and dogs, the current can be strong here.  The
  Wales Coastal Path can be accessed from here and continues it's
  journey right around Gower.

  a lifetime to spot grey seals, porpoises and dolphins as well as
  seabirds including Razorbills and Guillemots (June and July),
  Gannets and Sheerwaters. Sunfish can sometimes be spotted in these
  waters.

The Bay Rider

  and throughout the summer.  It makes it way along The
  Promenade little children and adults alike will adore this little
  adventure along The Promenade seafront.
