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

Hamper was a great start to the holiday. Lovely pleasant stay in a lovely clean and tidy house - very well equipped. Perfect house to enjoy coastal walks, from Limeslade (by Forte's cafe) to Rotherslade and along to Langland and then down to Mumbles town. Would stay again.

Thank you for the welcome basket. Cartref is clearly as good as it gets. We know this area quite well and highlights have included visits to Rhossili and Parkmill/Three Cliffs Bay (the woods are stunning this time of year). Being no strangers to seafood a visit to Swansea market and dinner at Langland Bay were much enjoyed. Keep up the good work...
