Welcome to Barcud Lodge; we hope you enjoy your holiday here. Home from Home, now part of Original Cottages, are the letting agents for the house. The house will have been prepared for you by professional cleaners.
The village of Llangennith boasts a church, a pub and a surf shop. The name Llangennith – Llangenydd or Llangynnydd in Welsh – is roughly translated as Cenydd’s church. St Cenydd’s Church is the largest church on the Gower peninsula and is now part of the Benefice of North Gower. You will find details of the services on the church notice board and the local congregation are very welcoming.
The Kings Head pub, opposite the church, serves a wide variety of home-cooked pub food and is always popular.
PJ’s surf shop sells and hires all kinds of surfing equipment as well as being a good source of advice about surfing and tides. Llangennith beach is the best surfing beach on Gower.
On a clear day you can see for miles from the upstairs windows of Barcud Lodge. To the right, beyond Burry Holms, you can see the wide sweep of Carmarthen Bay and just about make out Tenby and Caldey Island. At the end of a beautiful day, the sunsets can be spectacular. In 2013 Rhossili Bay was voted the best beach in the UK by Tripadvisor, 3rd in Europe and 10th in the world.
Having spent many enjoyable breaks in Llangennith over previous years, we bought this house in February 2011 as a holiday home for ourselves and our family, and we make it available as a holiday let. Barcud is the Welsh word for ‘kite’ and the house was built in 2008 by Red Kite Homes, which is how the house got its name. You can occasionally spot red kites in Gower.
