Glebe Farm Coastal Holiday Cottage

A spacious dog-friendly cottage moments from Rhossili Bay

Just 0.2 miles from the golden sweep of Rhossili Bay — regularly voted one of the best beaches in Britain — this detached holiday home is a wonderful base on the Gower Peninsula, the first place in Britain to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sleeps up to eight across four bedrooms, comes with a hot tub and a wood burner, and welcomes up to four dogs, making it a real favourite with larger families and groups of friends who want comfort, space and the coast on the doorstep.

Room for the whole group

Four bedrooms sleep up to eight: two king-size rooms (one with zip-and-link beds that convert to twins), a twin, and a king-size room with its own en-suite. There are three bath/shower areas in all — a family bathroom with bath and shower, an en-suite with a spa shower, and a handy wet room off the utility, plus a separate WC — so a big group is never short of space in the mornings. Add a pool table in the garage and you have somewhere everyone can spread out and relax.

Hot tub, wood burner and gardens

The hot tub is the spot to soak after a windswept walk on Worms Head, and the wood burner in the reception room makes the cottage just as appealing out of season. There are gardens to front and rear for sitting out or letting children and dogs run around, and onsite parking for arriving by car. One honest note: because of the rural setting the WiFi can be intermittent and slow — which, frankly, is part of the appeal of switching off here.

Who it suits

This is a house built for sharing on the western Gower. It suits a big family holiday, a get-together with friends, or a group of walkers and surfers who want to roll out of bed and onto one of Wales’s finest beaches. The hot tub and pool table keep everyone happy in the evenings, the gardens give children and dogs room to play, and with up to four dogs welcome, nobody in the family has to be left behind. If you want reliable fast internet for working, look elsewhere; if you want sea air, big skies and proper downtime, it is ideal.

Rhossili and the Gower

Rhossili is the jewel of the Gower — a three-mile sweep of golden sand backed by Rhossili Down, with the dramatic tidal island of Worms Head at its tip and the Wales Coast Path running right along the cliffs. From the cottage you can be on the beach in a few minutes, and the rest of the peninsula is close by: the surf at Llangennith, the beaches at Port Eynon and Oxwich, and the much-photographed Three Cliffs Bay.
