SHIP COTTAGE/ ANNEXE
This is a truly unique holiday experience away from roads, traffic and street lights.
Access is via the owner's 4x4 down a half mile track cut into the cliff and through a ford in the nearby river. Once here you will access most places by foot, be able to spend hours on the beach or seek adventures amongst the numerous footpaths that leave here to access Gower's beaches, castles, pubs and cafes!
There are of course some draw backs:
- Vehicular access is by 4x4 only
- Mobile phone reception is very limited
But then think of the positives:
- Vehicular access is by 4x4 only!
- Mobile phone reception is very limited!
- Peace, quiet, owls, bats, stars, the sound of the sea at night…
Ship Cottage is unique. Yes we know lots of holiday cottages tell you they are unique but Ship Cottage really is. You will never stay in another cottage or location quite like it. Ship Cottage is one of only two houses nestled in glorious seclusion in Pwll Du Bay on the Gower Peninsular, South Wales, an area so beautiful it became Britain's very first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Pwll Du itself is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) a designation given only to those areas that best represent our natural heritage. It is an idyllic, secluded bay backed by a wooded valley complete with its very own babbling stream.
Being free from roads and accessible (apart from residents) only by foot the crowds are kept at bay and it is considered by many locals as Gower's best kept secret. You will be met by the owners upon your arrival who will ferry you and your luggage down the 1 mile track by Land Rover. Thereafter you will be left to your own devices to take advantage of the wonderful seclusion afforded by the property; fires on the beach, midnight swims, the sound of the sea at night, owls, bats, stars and the many walks through the woods or along the cliffs to coffee shops or local beaches.
The property is divided into two parts that can be booked separately or both can be booked together and the doors opened up imbetween to allow for larger groups.
Ship Cottage - Main house - sleeps 8 (in three bedrooms) plus a sofa bed (can fit up to 10)
Ship Cottage - Annexe - sleeps 2 in one bedroom, plus a sofa bed (can fit up to 4)
