The cottage is described as well-equipped and thoughtfully appointed. Some minor feedback includes limited TV channels and a suggestion for a teapot, but overall facilities are highly rated.

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful secluded location. We loved seeing the ducks and horses everyday. Close to lots of stunning beaches and great walks.

Very pleasant cottage, lovely sitting watching the ducks in the pond. Comfy chairs and bed. Remote, but can walk from the house to the beach, although it was very hot when we were there. Or short distance driving to further beaches or walks. EV chargers temperamental this side of the Gower so don't get too low when you arrive.Relaxing holiday.
