The Old Rectory National Trust

For a group getaway on the coast, you can’t get much better than this historic house on the Gower Peninsula. Offering a panoramic view of Rhossili Bay and Worms Head Island, Rhossili Old Rectory is the only building on the world-famous bay. Built in the 1800s, the house has had an intriguing past from its role as a base for radar workers during the Second World War, to appearing in the hit TV series Torchwood. These days, this spacious four-bedroom National Trust Holidays house is full of coastal charm with light-flooded rooms, a large kitchen for cooking up a feast, chic furnishings to relax and unwind in and cosy log burners. On a summer’s evening the garden is the perfect place to sit out for an alfresco dinner and watch the sun set over the beach.
