About this property
Ariel a lighthouse keepers cottage with accommodation for up to five guests.
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Ariel at Nash Point Lighthouse.
Ariel is one of two holiday cottages available at the lighthouse which is located on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. There are wonderful safe beaches, many of which have been awarded the coveted blue flag. In particular, there is Ogmore-by-Sea (just over 4 miles away), Barry Island, Southerndown and Porthcawl, which are particularly good for windsurfing.
A short drive away (just over 8 miles) Cowbridge offers a good range of shops with small boutiques, craft and art galleries, excellent restaurants and pubs. Further along the coast is the famous Gower peninsula and walking on the Mumbles.
Also available to book at this location is Stella, sleeping five guests.
