The Gower Coast Path is within 100 metres , leading to many rocky coves and beautiful sandy beaches, which is ideal for pet or dog friendly holidays.

Beaches along the Gower Coast Path:

Rhossili Bay – 1 mile.
Fall Bay – Less than 1 mile.
Worm’s Head – Just over 2 miles.

Shopping

There is a Spar at Scurlage and at Knelston Garage and milk and newspapers can often be bought at Pitton Cross Campsite about a mile away.
Some holiday makers have successfully used Sainsburys for online shopping, although the cottage can be hard to find as it’s down a farm track and quite isolated.
Grocery shopping en route at Sarn Park near Cardiff or in Swansea might be advisable, to avoid having to spend precious holiday time shopping.

Eateries

Rhossili and Port Eynon have a variety of pubs and Bistros, and there’s a pub at Reynoldston. Chips Ahoy in Scurlage is a good place for a quick and easy diner, but it’s best to check opening times. There’s a good cafe at Hillend Camping park near Llangennith for coffee or ice-cream after hiking over Rhossili Down.

Travel
