About this property
Ariel a lighthouse keepers cottage with accommodation for up to five guests.
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Ariel at Nash Point Lighthouse.
Ariel is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse which is located on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast.

A short drive away (just over 8 miles) Cowbridge offers a good range of shops with small boutiques, craft and art galleries, excellent restaurants and pubs. Further along the coast is the famous Gower peninsula and walking on the Mumbles.
Also available to book at this location is Stella, sleeping five guests.

Nash point cottage (Ariel)
Modern interior, well equipped and a superb location.
Be aware that the third single bedroom is located away from the other bedrooms which may be unsuitable for younger children. Our four year old wasn't to keen on sleeping there. But she enjoy the rest of the building and surrounding area. We would come again.
