Tankey Lake Farm- Teal

View on Google MapsPhoto: Tankey Lake Farm
Teal is a ground-floor cottage on a working smallholding near Llangennith, a few miles from Rhossili beach and Llangennith's surf break. The single bedroom has a king bed; the bathroom is a shower room. The open-plan living space centres on a wood-burning stove, with a smart TV, Bluetooth speaker, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking. One dog can stay free of charge, though they must be kept on a lead while on the owner's land due to livestock. No smoking inside.
What makes this place distinctive is the courtyard garden, where a stream flows past a sitting area complete with ducks—the stream itself lies about 5ft from the seating, so it's very much part of the view. You get electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi. The washing machine in the external utility room is coin-operated and shared with other on-site properties. There is private parking for two cars, and a bike store. The property is reached via a rough track.
Walking starts at your door and extends across the owner's fields. Rhossili and Worms Head are walkable territory if you have time to plan around the tides. Llangennith beach draws people for year-round watersports. This is genuine farmland rather than manicured countryside, with animals grazing and a working rhythm to the place.

Beautiful location. You can have breakfast with the ducks and dinner with the baby owls. Stunning birdsong too. The bedding is luxurious & the cottage has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Even a G&T on arrival!

We are a family of four, with two teenagers and two dogs, who have stayed here. We have stayed for the past two years for our two week holiday and intend to return this coming summer. The owners have always been amazing, welcoming and friendly. Martin kindly helped us search for our dog when she bolted on a walk and used his dog to find her. If you want to know local places to go they are always more than happy to tell you about things locally that might interest you. The cottages are well maintained, smartly decorated so you feel as if you are staying in a hotel not a self catering cottage.The location is lovely and peaceful, a quick ride down to Llangennith provides you with amazing views, a lovely dog friendly beach, warm sea water and a lovely local pub or beach restaurant afterwards. I would recommend anyone to stay here but don't book our two week slot!

First visit to the Gower and most definitely chose well with the holiday cottage. Before we arrived Katrina was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. When we arrived the cottage was very welcoming, with a lovely welcoming pack, to include gin and tonic and doggy treats. Our hosts left us some fresh eggs and milk. Everything was provided to enable us to relax in front of a cosy log fire, just perfect. This place is idyllic, quiet and very relaxing. Love the pond and all the ducks. In the late afternoon the ducks all head off to bed, so comical to watch them. Slept really well, beds were comfy with crisp cotton sheets. Soft towels are provided. Well equipped kitchen. What is there to fault? Absolutely nothing, we have had the best time and Katrina and Martin fabulous hosts Thank you for such an amazing chill out time.
