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!
