Pleasant and spacious cottage in a good location, close to amenities. Parking very useful in Mumbles and meant that we could leave the car at home for much of our stay.

This was a very clean and well decorated accomodation. Only a short walk from the town and sea front. There are some good walks locally and there is a very good regular bus service to other towns including Swansea. We would definitely recommend this property and will certainly be returning in the future.

We had a great week and this cottage has a perfect location just 2-3 mins to the sea front and all the shops, bars and restaurants but very private and quiet at the house!

Overall the cottage was situated in an ideal spot, the Mumbles and surrounding area is beautiful. The cottage requires attention, smelt damp throughout outdoor facilities unusable, hot tub which we paid extra for smelt and looked unclean brown tide marks. Luckily the good weather meant we didn't spend long in the accommodation.

Beautitful cottage just a stones throw from the town. Beds very comfy, the only grumble i would have is that the curtains were too light so at 5 am it was so bright in the bedroom. Could do with a rubber bath mat in the bath as it was slippery and quite dangerous.

We left several emails that were unanswered during our holiday regarding having to clean the cottage ourselves on arrival,several maintenance issues that were not dealt with during our stay very disappointed in the fact weve had know correspondence at all, definitely not the usual standard of cottages booked with you.

The cottage was absolutely lovely and had everything we needed for the weekend and the location was amazing. My only slight criticism was the cleanliness in the Kitchen and the hot tub. We had to wash all the plates and cutlery when we arrived as they were filthy - food still on them all. Not a biggie. Also the cheese grater still had cheese all inRead more it from previous vacationers - I left it in the sink to be washed as we'd not used it. There were also leaves and dog hairs on the kitchen floor, and muddy splashes on the kitchen unit behind the living room door. Nothing major but looks like the kitchen could do with a deep clean. The water in the hot tub had a funny smell to it also - like it was dirty so I'm not sure when that was last emptied and re-filled. We only used it once for that reason. But it's a great little cottage and we'd definitely re-book it. Hide

3rd time we have stayed in Honeycomb and we were disappointed that it wasnt up to the usual standard of cleanliness. We found dog hairs through out the ground floor, one of the cutting boards had dried food sticking to it and there is black mould around the bath. I hope you can sort these things out before we book the property again.
