Other local attractions include the remains of Weobley Castle, Woodfield Animal Sanctuary and King Arthur’s Stone, all within 5 miles.

The perfect location for a family with 4 young kids. Close enough to hit the beaches but enough outside space for them to enjoy and farm animals on hand too. The stay made even more special by the farm dogs visiting us daily for a play!

We had a fantastic time in the cottage, the barn is exactly as described with a beautiful kitchen and living space which is great for spending time with one another. There are a number of amazing beaches and walking destinations right around the corner which are very dog friendly. Thank you again for an amazing week!

The cottage is ideally situated to enjoy the natural beauty of the Gower countryside and beaches. The cottage was very clean, well presented and very comfortable. En-suite facilities to each of the three bedrooms was perfect for our needs and there is a large lawn area to enjoy. The service by "Home from Home" was excellent
