The owner went above and beyond, beautifully decorating the barn for the festive season and leaving some thoughtful treats that made our family feel truly welcome. It really was a home away from home and helped make our time in South Wales very special. The location is excellent, surrounded by stunning countryside with charming small towns nearby, lovely pubs, and several supermarkets all within a short 10-minute drive. The barn itself is incredibly comfortable, with excellent underfloor heating that was perfect for chilly winter days. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need, and the cosy living room is well stocked with family games, making it ideal for relaxing together. Parking is plentiful, and there are also some lovely outdoor areas to enjoy when the weather is warmer. We loved our stay here and wouldnât hesitate to return. We very much hope to come back again in the near future.

Fantastic facilities, a real home from home. Dawn made us feel very welcome with a tasty welcome basket and pumpkins for the children to carve. The cottage is well situated for visiting Swansea and the surrounding area.

Everything we needed was provided and the location was peaceful and quiet, which was just what we wanted. Mr and Mrs Richards were the perfect hosts, friendly and welcoming. The welcome hamper was a delightful touch, with lots of nice goodies that we really appreciated. A great break with lots to do and see.
