While some guests encountered issues, many had a wonderful stay, enjoying the tranquillity and the host's responsiveness.

The location is generally praised for its peacefulness and proximity to local attractions such as Carreg Cennen Castle and Swansea Beach. The sound of the river adds to the serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing break.
Comfort receives mixed feedback. While some guests found the bed comfortable and the setting relaxing, others experienced discomfort due to a sagging mattress and dampness within the property. The log burner and hot tub were highlights for comfort during the stay.
Facilities are appreciated by some guests, including the hot tub and log burner. However, there are concerns about maintenance and safety, particularly regarding electrical works and the condition of the patio doors. The lack of clear instructions for various amenities also detracted from the overall experience.
Guests mention welcome gifts and logs for the wood burner, indicating thoughtfulness from the host. However, it should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for all stays.

I wouldn't say Cottages was useful, sent far too many mesages and repetitive, on top of that what they say and the host says doesnt always match. Really pleased with the stay, bed is so comfy! Shower looks amazing but does lack presure. Kitchen is functional, but pots are quite small and no caserole dish. There is a park right round the corner, which is a lovely walk. The only thing that would be useful, would be instructions for the bins, which he said to leave, for the wifi, for the log burner, checking out etc, so you dont need to keep mesaging Dave (host), however he did respond quickly and was lovely. Overall, as lovely relaxing break which is what we were looking for and we would like to go back in the summer! Ooh, for pokemon fans, you can reach two gyms and a pokestop from the house and the park has some good poke routes.
