Lovely cozy apartment with a well equipped kitchen and spacious living room. We presumed the en-suite would have a toilet but it was in fact a shower and a sink, so if that is not a concern to you then wed definitely recommend this place to say. Great walks for the dog, a couple of pubs and a Co-op close by for anything you run short of.

Good location with 2 pubs and a co-op within less than a minute walk. Quiet area apart from the flat below who knocks the walls with the slightest of noise. The stairs are about the steepest I've seen so if you struggle with stairs this cottage would not be suitable. Kitchen table suitable for 4 although property advertised for six

Lovely clean flat , good dcor, 3 decent sized bedrooms and all equipment we needed in the kitchen. Good location.Great having a parking space allocated and the coop next door. Recommend the Joiners arms for food just up the road. We walked from the flat to the coastal paths , but would be a bit of trek with small children.

We used the cottage as a base for exploring the Gower. The kitchen was well stocked and the apartment has a spacious feel. The outside space is in a noisy coop yet we were shushed when we arrived and told to shut the door at conversation level noise at about half past 9. Having one toilet for everyone to share did make the mornings a slight challenRead morege at times but otherwise everything was fine. Hide

Rock House is situated in the heart of the village. It is a few doors from the village Coop and very close to the pubs. It has a dedicated parking spot. The flat is well laid out and comfortable and it has a fully equipped kitchen. It does have very steep stairs leading up to it which was fine for us but would be tricky for less mobile people.
