Overal, very happy with the cottage, location, views were excellent. Couple of points about cottage - would benefit from some more comfortable garden furniture to sit on. Rusty table & chairs of no use (owners did inform us about these prior to arrival). Garden furniture & patio area generally needed some attention. Garden not totally dog safe, onRead morely patio area. Chicken wire needed across main gate onto the road. Grill pan was dirty/greasy & we were unable use it, we left it as we found it. Hide

We loved or stay at Shambles which was the perfect holiday cottage for us and our dog. The cottage was comfortable clean, well equipped and catered for all our holiday needs. Surprisingly for mid October we enjoyed the late afternoon sun on the patio and the well kept secure garden was an added bonus. The location was perfect for our week exploRead morering the Gower. The fact that there was an excellent community shop, post office and cafe directly opposite solved any shopping problems. The volunteers and locals were friendly, helpful and there was a never ending supply of lhomemade produce. The sweet potato pasties and spicy carrot cake are highly recommended. Cwm Ivy, another local cafe with homemade cakes, was a good pit stop at the beginning and end of some of our walks. The Britannia Inn was dog friendly with reasonable pub food and a good atmosphere, although very busy on a nice autumn weekend. We will return to the Gower next year and hope that we can use Shambles as our base again. Hide
