The Gables is set in the quiet hamlet of Pitton, away from the main road, within an enclosed garden. Being just about a mile from Rhossili village itself, it is a great base for family beach holidays, walking/cycling holidays, romantic breaks (special discounts offered to 2 person occupancy) and because the valley is full of trees and we're only a short walk from the cliffs - bird watchers.

This old farmhouse was refurbished a few years ago.

The accommodation offered is a semi-detached house in the hamlet of Pitton. We live in the other semi, but The Gables is not overlooked. The area enclosed by the pink circle in the photo above roughly shows which part of the semi is offered. It has two double bedrooms and one twin room. A baby's cot can be made up on request.

The twin room has two single beds and a wardrobe. The floor has exposed floorboards.

There is also a lounge area with a colour tv, a radio/tape player and a DVD player.

The large conservatory is used for dining and a further sitting area. Please note that in severe weather the conservatory does leak in a number of places. We have tried to remedy the situation without success.

A baby's highchair, plug-in baby monitors and a safety gate are available on request at no extra charge.

There is double glazing and central heating throughout the property and all utilities (electric, water, oil) are included in the price.

Please note that for health reasons smoking is strictly forbidden inside the property or anywhere in the garden.

The fully fitted kitchen is complete with washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, food mixer, gas cooker and hob and electric George Foreman grill. A kitchen towel, tea towel etc. is provided. Should you need them, there is also an iron, an ironing board and clothes airer.

The cleanliness of the property is one of our highest priorities and because all bed linen, towels (not beach towels) and most cleaning products are provided, all you need to bring is your food, your suitcase and yourself.

The house is set in an elevated position and is reached from the lane up a flight of about fifteen steps. Anybody with walking difficulties, may find the steps a bit of a problem. The rooms downstairs overlook part of the garden, the rooms upstairs look out over the fields and the valley.

There is plenty of off-road parking space, just across the lane from the house.

We are just 10-15 minutes walk from the beautiful bay of Mewslade. Rhossili bay is about a mile away and we can reach it by foot in about 20-25 minutes. Fall Bay, is in between the two. The start of Rhossili Down can be reached by foot in about ten minutes. The nearest restaurant/licensed premises is in Rhossili.

We are 30 mins from the nearest supermarket, albeit there are 2 grocery shops within 10-15 mins. If you are familiar with ordering goods from "Tesco Home Delivery" then they will deliver down here, but please choose a delivery slot for a time when you will be here to receive it (and please note that there isn't a freezer in the property).
