Description

The Little Forge is set within an old limestone quarry, walking distance from the stunning Three Cliffs Bay. The cottage is built within the grounds of the former village forge and nestles into the cliff face of a limestone quarry besides the leafy canopy of the Gower Ash woodlands nature reserve Kilvrough Woods. To the rear of the cottage is a flight of steps leading up to the woodland of Kilvrough Woods, managed by the National Trust.

The woodland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is a haven for plants and wildlife alike. A stroll through the woods will bring you close to goldfinches, bullfinches, long-tailed tits and buzzards, amongst others, all accompanied by the uplifting song of the wrens. The ash and beech trees of the woods provide perfect cover for a carpet of wood anemones, ramsons (wild garlic) and bluebells in the spring. 

Over the road is the Gower Inn public house. It serves food from 12.00 until 9.00pm and has a great external beer garden. The traditional pub fayre menu is ideal for a quick easy option for lunch or tea and we'd encourage you to try their Gower Gold local brewed ale.

Reviews

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.

Mr D,

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 wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility problems, no problem for us and we are mid seventies! The only disappointment was the pub opposite, not recommended for a meal, which is a pity.

Rev B,

Narrow and steep stairs Uncomfortable sofa and not what was advertised

Mrs Linda D,

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

Previous Customer,

It had everything we hoped for

Mr James H,

Lovely cottage and great location, absolutely loved our stay. Only slight drop in score is no blind on the main skylight meant bedroom got direct morning sunlight through the glass partition.

Miss Olivia H,

It was a lovely stay! We would come again in summer to explore the area in a different season. Great location and everything you need is there.

Miss Laura B,

A lovely relaxing break which was much needed.

Mrs Michelle N,

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 car. We would return for sure.

Mrs Helen G,

Just needed a thick mattress protector or new mattress and it was a bit tricky to control the heating. However kind welcome pack and spotlessly clean.

Mrs Sarah B,

Location

Swansea, Mumbles village and some of Gower's best beaches and landmarks (Worms Head, Rossilli, Oxwich and Llangenith) are all within 10 to 20 minutes' drive. Plus you can enjoy a fabulous short walk from Shepherds to Three Cliffs Bay, a strikingly beautiful award-winning beach with a world famous view.
