Ship Cottage annexe Details
The original part of the house dates back as far as records begin, at least to 1700 and is likely to be significantly older than that. Originally built as a quarryman's home it then became a smugglers' inn (the nearby Brandy Cove is named after the amount of illicit contraband smuggled through) before falling in to private ownership in the 1970's. The lovingly restored property retains the character and feel of a 350 year old cottage whilst having the modern comforts we have come to expect in a holiday retreat.
This enchanting, picturesque bay is set within the heart of the Gower Peninsular, an area so beautiful it became Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). With a history rich in smuggling and quarrying it is a haven to walkers, artists and nature lovers and considered by many locals as Gower's best kept secret. Ship Cottage is a stone's throw from the beach and was built as a pub around 1700 to keep the quarry workers from getting too thirsty.The beauty of this holiday location is its isolation - once you are here you will feel in another world, away from cars and traffic yet only a brisk walk east or west along the coastal paths will lead you to good Cafes and a brisk walk north to a choice of three local pubs all serving good food.
