Overview

We visited this cottage for a week in April, taking a young boy in a wheelchair with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, as well as an 85 yr old granny with mobility problems and three other special needs children (with no mobility problems)! The cottage was provided with everything we needed and the owner met us on our arrival to show us around. There were plenty of bedrooms to accommodate us all, all furnished to a high spec and some bedrooms with ensuite so granny could have her own walk in shower. Along with central heating there is a wood burner in the lounge to keep you warm, but make sure you use dried wood as the bag of logs from the local garage was damp and didn't light easily or give off much heat, so a quick search of a DIY shop in Swansea produced some lovely dry logs which made all the difference. The lounge was a little on the small side for the number of us, but there was an electric recliner armchair which granny enjoyed using. Kitchen is well equipped and spacious. The garage contained beach access equipment but you would need to discuss use/hire with the owner. The garden is lovely with a stream running through it and also through a goldfish pond. There are lights all around it for evening use. Plenty of seating and space to watch wildlife and birds feeding at the bird table. The driveway has a small slope up to the garage but this wasn't a problem for us. We took our large dog, he slept in the garage, and there are fields and beaches nearby for walks The location is a quiet country road near to Rhossili village and famous beach. The bedroom for our young boy was well equipped with hoist straight into the ensuite bathroom. Only minor gripe would be that we had to change him on the bed after hoisting him from the bath, so we had to put down protective sheets to stop the bedding getting wet. The hospital bed worked fine and he slept well. Although the weather was cold we enjoyed our stay, it worked well for our large family and different needs and hope to return again. Recommended !
