What our customers say about their holidays

  We loved or stay at Shambles which was the perfect holiday cottage for us and our dog. The cottage was comfortable clean, well equipped and catered for all our holiday needs. Surprisingly for mid October we enjoyed the late afternoon sun on the patio and the well kept secure garden was an added bonus. The location was perfect for our week exploring the Gower. The fact that there was an excellent community shop, post office and cafe directly opposite solved any shopping problems. The volunteers and locals were friendly, helpful and there was a never ending supply of lhomemade produce. The sweet potato pasties and spicy carrot cake are highly recommended. Cwm Ivy, another local cafe with homemade cakes, was a good pit stop at the beginning and end of some of our walks. The Britannia Inn was dog friendly with reasonable pub food and a good atmosphere, although very busy on a nice autumn weekend. We will return to the Gower next year and hope that we can use Shambles as our base again.

  Very well presented, equipped and comfortable property, with ample parking accessed from a small lane which leads to the rear of this and of nearby properties. Everywhere spotlessly clean with good quality facilities and plenty of room to spread out. There was a lovely welcome tray with delicious goodies for both humans and doggies, cleaning products in the kitchen and fresh milk in the fridge. The fresh flowers in the living room were also much appreciated. Last, but not least, the view overlooking Swansea Bay and location are wonderful - we enjoyed the flat walks to pubs, cafes and restaurants, not to mention woodland and castle walks right on the doorstep. There is a very busy road at the front of the property but the view and efficient double glazing which minimises any noise more than compensates! We will definitely be returning for a 3rd visit to St.Jude's next year.

  We loved The Shambles, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. The cottage and enclosed garden area were just perfect for us and our dog. It had all the mod cons, was very spacious and warm in December when we stayed. You can hike in various directions straight from the cottage and reach a number of glorious beaches. And behind is a lovely hill to climb and admire the views. so we had many car free days where we did 10-15 miles walks taking in 3 beaches. There is a shop across the road that stocks vegan food and there is vegan food available at the pub. This really is a spectacular holiday destination. The local roads are quiet, it is a really peaceful spot. Saw lots of birds in the very pretty garden. We have recommended to friends and we intend to come again.

  A very comfortable and well equipped cottage, probably one of the vest we've ever stayed in. We really enjoyed our week here. The upstairs sitting room would be a real bonus for a family of four if children wanted their own space. We enjoyed sitting up there on a rainy morning playing a few games, the natural light is very good for reading too. Just check the size of your vehicle against the size of their garage. Extra parking is limited and our vehicle was too big. We did manage though. If you know the Mumbles you will know the road outside is very busy, however the cottage is in a good location for walking into the village for the many lovely shops and restaurants of Mumbles.

  Large and comfortable property with perfect bay view. The large property is well equipped and clean. The bay is just on the other side of Mumbles road, so the view from the living room and the larger bed room is perfect. Different to a property we had before the windows have double glazing, which blocks out road noise if required. But the position in the beginning of the village will be quieter anyway. Also it's close to Joe's Ice Cream, which is important. A big plus point is the spacious garage. Most properties in Mumbles do not have a private parking and especially during summer holidays it will be difficult and expensive to park in public areas.
