About Burrows Cottage

Burrows Cottage is a simple, single-storey former forester’s cottage. Located in a secluded spot alongside a pine wood, the cottage benefits from a large private garden and is just a short walk to the beach. Inside, you’ll find traditional interiors complete with a wood-burning stove in the living room.  

After a cup of coffee in the garden, explore the dunes at Whiteford Burrows National Nature Reserve. Play a game of cricket or rounders on the beach before heading over to the village of Rhossili.

Make the trip to north Gower to see the area from a completely different perspective. This part of the Gower is much quieter than the south of the peninsula and a perfect get away.
