SHORT BREAKS


Summer short breaks

We look to encourage weekly-only bookings during summer but where we still have some late availability (let's say within a week of arrival date on our own web calendar as shown above) it may be worth contacting us as we may occasionally accept shorter breaks of 3, 4 or 5 nights.

Winter short breaks

We routinely accept shorter breaks of 3, 4 or 5 nights between start of November to end of March. Short breaks must normally start or end on a Saturday. (NB: Due to the weekend exodus effect, traffic is much lighter on the M4 in south Wales on Saturdays than on the dreaded Fridays). 

Short break tariffs

4 night short break Tuesday to Saturday or Saturday to Wednesday 70% of weekly rate 
3 night short break Weds to Saturday or Saturday to Tuesday. 55% of weekly rate

SLEEPING CAPACITY at Heather Cottage

For maximum comfort we feel that Heather Cottage best suits couples (or lone travellers). So for advertising purposes we correctly need to say it sleeps 2 when following Visit Wales Guidance.

NB: The Village Shop is usually closed by Saturday 4pm and doesn't reopen until the Monday 10am. Even then it is very much a coffee & cake shop that also sells some food items, so can be limited in both choice/availability, for even basic food shopping. You are therefore advised to do any food shopping (including milk, bread, wine etc) BEFORE you get arrive in Llanmadoc.

Food Shops
You can always then top up some items as required during the week at the village shop, or if not available, drive to one of the local petrol stations (Llanrhidian or Knelston both around 3 miles / 12 mins drive) that have a slightly wider choice, or drive back 9 miles/20 mins to Penclawdd (CKs supermarket and two butchers) or the Dunvant Farm shop (at the road between Dunvant/Gowerton, around 14 miles/ 30 mins away), or drive the 14 miles/30 mins to Gorseinon to the major large chain supermarkets (Lidl, Aldi, Asda). It is around 15 miles to Swansea (Fforestfach) Tesco's Extra. (See booking form for more info) 


These photos below are of our closest Beaches (Llanmadoc / Broughton Beach collectively known as Whitford Bay)
NB: Broughton Beach & Llanmadoc Beach are the same sweep of beach. They are continuous to one another, and are only really ever separated by a very high spring high tide which will reach the cliffs and separate the two beaches each with its own access "escape" routes so you wont get stranded even then. We walk our dogs down the lane due west from Llanmadoc Village down the gradually sloping country lane past St Madocs Church and St Madocs Christian Youth Centre and through the Whiteford Bay Leisure Park (caravan site) and through the narrow dune to the beach at Broughton. It takes around 25 minutes from front door to rock pool. We then take the dogs off the leads to run on the beach and swim in the rockpools or waves depending if the tide is in or out. Our two are corgis. They love to chase other peoples tennis balls.
