About the home

In 2009 we had this stunning 19th century traditional Welsh cottage restored to the highest standards using traditional building techniques. The cottage is located in a secluded spot (1/4 mile from nearest neighbours!) with views over Worms Head and the Gower coastline from all rooms in the house.

The lounge has high vaulted ceilings with oak beams and a "Crog loft" over a woodburning fire. There is a 32" TV with freeview and a DVD player with an 8 seater Oak table for dining. The main bedroom (upstairs) has a King size bed, TV with DVD and ipod station. There is a small second bedroom with a double sofabed.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The open plan lounge is very inviting with its vaulted cieling and exposed oak beams and a cosy sitting area around a wood burning stove at one end with a "crog loft" above. In the lounge there is a sofabed and for the more adventuous there is also a mattress on the crog loft.

At the other end of the lounge is an 8 seater oak table for dining with a door to the front lawn between. The flag stone floor has underfloor heating throughout.

The kitchen is handbuilt in solid ash with slate surfaces and is well equipped with a large fridge/freezer, hob with double oven under, dishwasher and a double Belfast sink. There is also a solid fuel rayburn for those who wish to use it. There is a breakfast table and traditional welsh dresser and settle.

The main bedroom (upstairs) has a King size bed. There is a TV with DVD and ipod port. The second bedroom is downstairs and rather small. It is however very private and fitted with a double sofabed. Cot available on request.

The bathroom is downstairs, and includes a double ended bath with wall mounted taps and overflow filler and separate rainfall shower with additional hand held shower head. There is a heated towel rail, wc and sink with shaver socket.

Washing machine and tumble drier are in separate utility room to reduce noise.

Further details outdoors:
Outside there is a large lawned area to the rear and a small front lawn with patio furniture for some of the best views in Wales!

Further details

The cottage is owned by us as part of a larger holding including our current house. It has been in the family for three generations. It was inhabitted until 1940 but was then converted to an animal shelter. In 2005 we traced three ladies who had lived in the cottage. With their help we were able to provide acurate plans to restore the cottage to it's former glory. Work started in August 2007 and was completed in April 2009 to a very high standard by a local specialist restoration stonemason (Heritage 2000)

This is our only holiday cottage and is situated just 1/4 of a mile from our house (we are one of the nearest neighbours!). Service will be on an informal and very friendly basis.

The cottage dates back to the 18th century, and had last been inhabited in 1940. We had it restored in 2009 to a very high standard, with underfloor heating throughout, powered by a Ground Source Heat Pump.

Conditions

We are very proud of our little cottage and would ask any one staying there to show it the respect it deserves.

Unfortunately due to the nature of the building we are unable to allow any pets (although this may change as we are hoping to construct stables in the paddock this year!)

“A place to really rest and just do nothing.” Spotless, not too isolated and lovely, owners very welcoming and friendly. It was such a peaceful break with a lovely view and not too far from civilisation. You can just curl up in front of the beautiful log fire and relax. If you're a city person you may like to take a night light as it's very dark at night without the glow of street lights! Take magazines, books and a few of the DVD's you've been meaning to watch (in case it rains) and just enjoy the silence. Loved it.
