We had a fantastic time at the Old Byre. The location was incredible - so close to Fall Bay! The cottage itself was clean and really well equipped with everything that you could want (including salt, pepper and dishwasher tablets). We would recommend the cottage!

Great location, stunning views from the National Trust car park at Rhossili. Good walks along the cliff tops towards Worms Head and if you time it right, the walk over. The Worms Head hotel is closed at the moment due to a recent fire. We went to the Ship Inn at Port Eynon, lovely food but a little pricey. The walk down to the beach at Rhossili is steep, there is a footpath, but worth it for a walk along the stunning beach. The Old Byre was clean, well equipped and parking for 2 vehicles.All in all a lovely stay, even during Storm Amy which occurred during our stay.
