  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!

  We cut our break short my husband wanted to leave the moment we arrived but we stayed until the Thursday.

  The cleaner was still there when we arrived at about 3.30 on Sunday the place is Friday change so expected it to be ready . There was lots of damp/dirt in the bathroom and twin room, found a wet dirty towel on the back of our bedroom door. Kitchen hot water tap had no pressure and no hot water maintenance man came and told us we had to boast the water heater. Lack of information about anything on the site or in the chalet , swimming pool was good grandson used it every day partly because there was nothing else to do , the key for the swimming pool area did not work so had to get someone from reception to let us in , they told us we weren’t the first person staying at 48 to have this problem it needs sorting. The overall holiday was very disappointing. The site entrance is rough looking the buildings are tired and badly maintained and the first impression is bad , the empty pub/ restaurant area is a shame to see and the was not great . The children park needs maintenance also some bits were dangerous . Some of the window catches are stuck closed so couldn’t open them in the case of a fire it would be dangerous. The shower knob was very hard to turn on and off husband had to turn it off because we couldn’t. The taps in bathroom sink need changing as they were very hard to turn too . Would not recommend staying here to anyone.

  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! :-)

  Arrived and house had lovely decorations for Christmas, the heating had been set at 27 degrees so was unbelievably hot , tried to reduce heat but unable to, contacted owner, who informed us they were on holiday themselves.

  They said they would contact plumber, but as we worked out ourselves it was just batteries in the heating display unit, so we replaced ourselves. The main bedroom double bed had a single quilt, which is not comfortable for 2 adults, didn’t contact owner as they had already told us they were on holiday themselves. A single quilt in a double cover is uncomfortable! The chest of draws were falling apart, a little attention to detail. Other than these things, we had a good holiday and Christmas, kitchen well equipped for cooking. Lovely table decoration left for us, thank you. We managed to do all our shopping without moving the car, which was great. I would book again because I’m sure these things would be put right.
