Reducing fire risk

We're asking all guests to please avoid using any woodburner or open fire in their accommodation at this time, as sparks escaping from the flue may lead to wildfire due to the current dry conditions in the surrounding land. Thank you for helping us do whatever we can to reduce the risk of wildfire.

    Burrows Cottage is a simple, single-storey former forester’s cottage. Located in a secluded spot alongside a pine wood, the cottage benefits from a large private garden and is just a short walk to the beach. Inside, you’ll find traditional interiors complete with a wood-burning stove in the living room.  

    After a cup of coffee in the garden, explore the dunes at Whiteford Burrows National Nature Reserve. Play a game of cricket or rounders on the beach before heading over to the village of Rhossili.

    Make the trip to north Gower to see the area from a completely different perspective. This part of the Gower is much quieter than the south of the peninsula and a perfect get away.

    Layout

    Ground floor: Kitchen. Dining room. Sitting room with woodburner. Three bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin and 1 single). Bathroom with shower over bath.

    Outside space

    A fenced, private garden.
