Rhossili beach

This was a brilliantly located property for the beautiful land and seascape around. A very cosy cottage, perfect for two. We appreciated and enjoyed the eggs and Welsh cakes. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Highly recommended

We had an excellent time at the Old School Cottage. The house is well furnished and equipped with everything you could need, and the location is excellent. Fall Bay and Mewslade Bay beaches are only a 10–15 minute walk away, and there is a bus stop outside the house with buses running every hour (except on Sundays), so you can easily explore the many footpaths across Gower, as well as the scenic coastal path. The hosts were very welcoming, and we were delighted to find a selection of fine local produce waiting for us on arrival!

No return for us

Although a little lovely cottage, close to the sea, found most local pubs all had different eating times or the kitchen was closed, so ended up with sandwiches back at home, lanes were flooded giving even more problem to access, I just think it was the wrong season February to go, i am sure it is lovely and the places serve food in the spring/summer. I do not agree for a 3 night stay of not being able to access the property until 4pm and have to leave at 10 this cuts out a whole day from a 5 hour drive. So would not book again. Plan it carefully.
