The location is frequently praised for its proximity to beautiful countryside, beaches, and local amenities. However, some guests mentioned traffic noise due to the main road, slightly impacting the score.
While many guests found the accommodation comfortable, there are several mentions of steep stairs and an uncomfortable sofa, indicating that while generally comfortable, there are areas that could be improved.
The property is described as well-equipped and modern, with all necessary facilities for a short break. However, comments about steep stairs, a tricky heating system, and a need for defrosting the fridge suggest some minor maintenance issues.
Guests appreciated the welcome pack and found the provision of basic foods exceptionally generous. While this indicates thoughtfulness, it is important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and 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!
