Ship Farm Holiday Cottages, Rhossili, Gower

Ship Farm Holiday Cottages, Rhossili, Gower Both cottages are recently converted barns set on a working farm.

Two tastefully converted barns set on a working farm within walking distance to 3 beaches one being Rhossili Bay which has been voted the best beach in the UK by TripAdvisor in February 2013 and third best in Europe, 10th best in the world in 2013. The history of these properties are fascinating; in their long existence Fferm Llong cottage has served as the local inn and has been host to Scott of the Antarctic expedition companion Edgar Evans and The Old School was the first school in the village of Rhossili. Quote taken from the book ‘Yesterday’s Gower’ by J Mansel Thomas

‘The first school in the village I can find a record of was held in a stall belonging to the Ship Inn, opposite it and still used as a stable. In the eighteen-fifties the teacher was an old village woman, then about 1860 the school was moved to what was the village almshouse, occupied by four or five people on parish relief.’

Ship Farm has been in the Beynon family since the early 20th century but the family link with Rhossili began when Owen Beynon was granted a lease of land in Rhossili in 1796 which the Beynon family continue farming to this day. Both cottages have been tastefully converted and are situated within walking distance to all three of Rhossili's bays,

Just beautiful 🥰

Get your orders in, will make perfect Christmas presents 🎅

Absolutely blown away by the number of orders I've had in the last 24 hours! I'm working hard to get them all printed and prepared to send/collect.

What a fabulous occasion it was :)

Link to the photo on my website is in the comments.

All my photos are printed on PermaJet Museum Heritage 310 paper, it might be expensive but I only use the best papers and inks.

Don't photograph the eclipse without filters, they said....

No filters at all used for this wide angle shot.

I wasn't sure this photo was possible and when I got the photos back home, I really thought it wasn't possible. But then I spent an hour processing it and it turns out it was possible after all :) I went with a vision and a plan, this was it and here is the result. The contrast range here is insane and it took a lot of work to put it together into one photo.

I absolutely love all the people in this photo watching the eclipse. You might not see them, but they are there :) The cliffs are plastered with people and you know what? It is absolutely fantastic. I don't care that it took me 1.5 hours to get out of Rhossili car park, this was an amazing occasion and I'm genuinely happy so many got to see it. All those people with their own stories and lives came together briefly to share this one moment before going their separate ways again. Life is about experiencing this world, and tonight was right up there with one of the best experiences. In the words of Vinnie Jones, "It's been emotional" (Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels).

On a coastline brimming with seafood shacks, crab sandwiches and hyperlocal flavour, our food writer is happy to be distracted from the stunning scenery
