Well equipped, clean and welcoming cottage with the added bonus of 2 parking spaces. The layout of the accommodation was ideal for my husband and myself on the first floor and my son and daughter in law on the second floor, with their own ensuite. Really good location only 15 - 20 minute walk down to the Mumbles Pier and several local eateries e.g.Read more the Lighthouse. Our particular favourite was Verdi's for authentic Italian pizzas and ice creams. By car and headland walks we explored several local beaches e.g. Three Cliffs bay, Oxwich beach and finally the outstanding Rhossili beach which stretched for several miles, ideal for kite flying and building sand castles. We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and we hope to visit again in the near future. Thank you for the welcome pack on arrival. Hide

A lovely modern property with everything you would need. Very clean cosy. Excellent quality bed linen and a well equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and appreciated. The location was OK for us as we had a car and know the area but could be considered a little remote for some as it's not close to anything. However, it was everythinRead moreg we needed and we would happily return and recommend it to others. Hide
