  This was a great find and we were very pleased with our stay.

  Tip: once you have booked, have a look around the postcode area on Street View so you know exactly where the property is before you arrive - we had no issues at all. The driveway is up a little kerb and is on a slope but is fine. It is in a very quiet area. Entering the property was easy. The photos to my mind make it look a little smaller than it actually is, so expect a bit more space! It is very well furnished and there is a lot of storage space so you can unpack all your stuff and it immediately feels like home. The kitchen is well equipped (and the smoke alarm definitely works! - open a window if you are pan-frying a steak...), the lounge area is lovely and the TV has all the usual Freeview channels, the shower was hot with a decent water pressure, and the bed was not too hard or soft. Wifi was weaker than the mega-fast service I have at home and was better (closer to router presumably) on the TV side of the property than the kitchen side; mobile phone data reception was better upstairs (or outside). Our medium-sized and occasionally excitable dog settled in straight away. As did we. Location: absolutely ideal for trips to the beaches (30 mins south-west) and country walks in the Brecon Beacons (30+ mins north-east). Good value: yes! Niggles: of course, it's a house, but all too minor to mention. Cleanliness: immaculate. Communication with the owner (who popped round shortly after we arrived to check all was well): great. Not to do with the house but a shout-out for dog-friendly places nearby: Pembrey beach (for a very long walk off-lead, check tide times); Bailey's Dog Cafe in Carmarthen (for understanding what a dog-friendly cafe really means, voted #2 in the UK).

  Just back from a week at The Headland.

  The weather wasn't kind as we had rain at some point every day. It meant having a comfortable base to chill really came into its own. The location is excellent with everything you could need within walking distance. From the main bedroom you can see the sea and the start of the local shops - an ice cream from Joe's is a must. There is a row of restaurants on the promenade, 5 minutes from the house. They are dog friendly. We ate at The Oysrer House, Croeso Lounge and Bistrot Pierre. Our personal favourite was the Croeso Lounge for lunch and dinner. I was disappointed to find the pier is closed but our dog loved the little beach there. It is also not possible to access the beach anywhere near the house as they are working on sea defences. There is a great deal of work and work men close to the house but as we were out all day it was not a problem. Just a shame the beach is out of bounds as all the beaches close by ban dogs until 30th September. I would recommend walking up to Oystermouth Castle where the volunteers are very welcoming. If you have a dog Mumbles Nature Reserve is also worth a visit. I was very impressed with the number and range of shops in Mumbles. I wish we had a flourishing High Street with so much to offer. The Headlands is a well appointed, comfortable base to explore the Gower and I would highly recommend it for couples, families and dogs!

  This is a really lovely property in a great location.

  It is a stone's throw from the promenade and has sea views from two of the bedrooms. It was clean and well equipped (although we didn't cook here, so I can't comment on the kitchen equipment.) There is parking for one car that was easily accessed round the back of the property. However it is only one parking space so additional cars would have to be parked elsewhere (there is plenty of public parking in mumbles but this can be in high demand in summer). Please note, if you are visiting here with children, there's no dvd player or DVDs/games/puzzles provided (but there are plenty of TVs) so you will need to bring your own games and puzzles. This holiday home is beautifully located in Mumbles, with great access to the promenade walk, the shops and plenty of eateries, including dog friendly establishments. And the property itself is comfortable and beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend it and we hope to be back next year. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful stay and for the lovely welcome pack - that was such a nice touch and made us feel very welcome.

  We had a brilliant stay at the Headlands.

  The location is perfect and the house itself very comfortable and well equipped, with good quality bed linen and everything you need in the kitchen to cook properly. Very impressed that there was a blender, cafetiere and even a slow cooker. Good quality (Fairy) dishwasher capsules also provided and washing machine capsules too (although we did take our own Ariel). The house was very warm - I had to turn some radiators off - and there were two thermostats, which was a bit confusing! Swansea council are big on recycling - but the info folder includes details on what to do and when to put the bags out. Plenty of good restaurants, takeaways and pubs in the area and really handy for visits to the Gower. Only downside to the location is that there is a major project going on to preserve the promenade, but there is still room for walking - watch out for the cyclists who can get a bit stroppy if you or your dog accidentally stray into the cycle lane! We will definitely return for another visit when visiting our relatives again - highly recommend! :-)

  ABsolutely gorgeous property.

  An intimate, cosy stay that has everything available to you and makes for a real 'home away from home', and a peaceful retreat away from the noise of life. I didn't want to leave. The property is accessed via the owners driveway which is no problem atol to me, and as read in anothers review, at night the pathway to the back door of ffaur draig is unlit but all it takes to solve this is your mobile phone light. The property has far too much character and comfort to offer to miss out on. I highly recommend this place. A lovely private retreat at the far end of an estate so there is nobody looking into the property. It boasts of beautiful furniture inside that is also really comfy and It is a lovely, quiet area too. I loved everything about this place and felt very safe and well looked after. If i needed anything atol the owners were happy to help and Elaine checked in on me the first night to make sure I was okay. A lovely touch. Thankyou for a beautiful stay I shall look forward to coming again.
