Guests say
The Little Forge is a well-received holiday rental in Gower, praised for its cleanliness, prime location near stunning countryside and coast, and well-equipped nature. Guests appreciate the welcoming owners and the thoughtful provision of a welcome pack. While some guests find the stairs steep and the sofa uncomfortable, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean and tidy, with one even noting it was 'spotlessly clean'. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as a strong point, being close to beautiful countryside, beaches, and within walking distance to amenities. Some guests mention traffic noise due to proximity to the main road, but this seems a minor concern.
Comfort receives a slightly lower score due to mixed feedback. While many guests find the accommodation comfortable, a few raise issues with the sofa and bed. The steep stairs are also mentioned as a potential discomfort for some.
The property is generally regarded as well-equipped and modern. However, some guests suggest improvements regarding the mattress, heating control, and additional seating. The mention of a 'Titanic in Fridge ice box' suggests a need for defrosting, indicating minor maintenance issues.
The provision of a welcome pack with basic foods is frequently mentioned and appreciated by guests, indicating thoughtfulness by the owners. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while generous, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This quirky little cottage is set in the grounds of the former village forge next to the Kilvrough Woods woodland reserve (managed by the National Trust). This is an excellent property for those interested in nature.
Little Forge is beautiful - think contemporary style interiors, smart furnishings and wood burning stove and you’re on the right track. This fabulous country cottage is in a sylvan setting amongst Gower Ash trees in a former limestone quarry. Steps lead up to Kilvrough Woods, an area of scientific interest with many indigenous plants, birds and wildlife.
With some of the best beaches in the Gower just a short drive away, including Rossilli and Oxwich and Three Cliffs Bay within walking distance, this is the perfect destination for a holiday. Pack up a picnic and spend lazy days at the seaside. Head to Langland with its pretty beach huts and dine at a beach side cafe… simply perfect!
