Head to the coastal village of Llangennith on the renowned Gower Peninsula and experience an adventurous holiday where you can enjoy everything from world-class surfing beaches to historic landmarks and pretty coastal towns. This cosy home-from-home is the perfect retreat for families or groups of eight friends looking for a comfortable base to return to after days out exploring and adventuring through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Access this four-bedroom cottage from the back garden where you will be welcomed by the large family kitchen, a lovely bright space for the whole group to gather in for those communal mealtimes. It’s well-equipped with everything you will need to prepare your food and everyone can take it in turns to clean up with the help of the dishwasher. The main lounge offers a cosy place for everyone to relax after fun days out, the wood burner keeping you cosy whilst you watch TV or read books. Kids will like the smaller lounge complete with board games and an iPod dock. You will find the first double bedroom on the ground floor as well as a shower room. Heading upstairs you can pick from one double bedroom and two twin bedrooms, all designed and furnished to give everyone a comfortable night’s sleep. The family bathroom completes this homely property with a separate bath and shower and WC.

Llangennith Beach (1 mile) is a world-class surfing beach where you can acquire lessons from the local surf school. History buffs will love King Arthur’s Stone (4.5 miles), Weobley Castle (4.5 miles) and Pennard Castle (9 miles), as well as the Iron Age forts at Rhossili Bay (9.5 miles). Llangennith itself is home to the oldest church in Gower dating back to the 6th century, and ‘The Kings Head’ (0.5 mile) which serves up delicious pub grub.

The whole cottage was welcoming & well equipped. The provision of basic foods - milk, eggs, pasta, jar of sauce, bread & biscuits was exceptionally generous and welcome.

Our stay here was wonderful, we loved everything about the Little Forge, the owners were very welcoming and introduced themselves to us on arrival. The Little Forge has everything you need, very cosy and homely. We would definitely return.

Good location for the Gower, you can easily walk to the Three Cliffs Bays and Pennard Castle. The owners are very friendly and helpful. There was a useful welcome pack of food. The steps up to the sleeping area are steep and wouldnt suit anyone with mobility problems, no problem for us and we are mid seventies! The only disappointment was the pub oRead morepposite, not recommended for a meal, which is a pity. Hide

Property was clean and modern well equipped but we are fit but think the stairs should be mentioned a bit restrictive and access to bed as well for some might have a problem

The property was ideal for what we wanted. It dropped a point on the score for comfort, only because the sofa was not particularly comfortable to relax on. We was only in in the evenings as out enjoying the beautiful area. Other than that everything was just great. Was lovely to be able to do so many walks from the property without even using a caRead morer. We would return for sure. Hide
