What our customers say about their holidays

  Firstly this cottage is not adequate for 6 people, we were cramped with just 4 adults. Access is by a steep and narrow staircase which the less mobile will find a challenge. The rooms are very small and poorly planned, the kitchen is so narrow when one person is washing dishes ( no dishwasher) the person drying has to stand behind and then kitchen cabinets cannot be opened. There is a general lack of space in the kitchen with no wall units supplied for food storage. Kitchen equipment is limited to exactly 6 of each meaning no serving plates if used to eat off. Only 3 white wine glasses, 3 red wine glasses and 6 tumblers. No sparkling wine flutes, short glasses and not even a corkscrew. There are only 4 dining chairs round table and not enough space for more meaning 6 people will need to eat in shifts. The seating is for 4 in each of two rooms so again 6 could not associate in one room at the same time.the arrangement of the seating also means the TVs cannot be watched by all in any sort of comfort. The general furniture was sparse with no curtains or blinds in either lounge. Beds were made up with heavyweight winter duvets and should be replaced with a lighter version for the summer season. The general bathroom sink is no more than a very small hand rinse measuring approx 6 inches by 12 inches and only an inch deep. It is near impossible to comfortably wet shave in this sink, even washing hands is a chore. Both showers were so slow to drain the water was lapping the top of the shower trays. One of our party actually removed the drain cover to clear the waste pipe to be faced with a foul smelling mass of hair and gunge, clearly these showers have never been serviced in the life of the building. In conclusion the property is not suitable for 6, is definitely under equipped and has been ill thought out with the customer in mind. Considering the cost of the property it is extremely poor value and cannot be recommended.

  A well presented modern apartment, that had everything we needed, we were on the first floor with 4 adults 2 teens and a baby and had plenty of room to move around. The swimming pool is basic but met the needs of the children who enjoyed it daily splashing around with floats and water balls. The pool was under cover, this made up for the fact our weather wasn’t brilliant, and the use of the sea was limited. The location is good and is a few minutes drive or 15minute walk (it’s a very busy road with no pavements and in parts narrow) to the beach which has a couple of chip shops a small beach shop and smugglers restaurant. There is a small premier shop a few minutes up the road and further down the main road at the local garage a slightly bigger supermarket. There is Access to the campsite behind where you can use the laundrette, shop and pub/cafe also has a play area for the children. We were greeted who was extremely pleasant and helpful and was there to sort any issues (we didn’t have any). Overall this is great accommodation that is a perfect base for exploring the gower.

  We left it late to book a holiday in South Wales this summer and at first, the photos made us think that it wouldn't be all that spacious for the price - we were just glad to have secured a place.

  But as soon as we walked into the property, we were really impressed and could see the photos don't really do it justice. It's a fantastic, modern spacious and airy apartment with everything you could want and more. Sea views, clean modern decor and facilities, lovely bathrooms. The kitchen is really well equipped with lots of workspace and the breakfast bar makes it a very sociable space. The beds are super comfy which is really important for a week's stay. As a family of three adults and two children, we never felt on top of each other, and had a lovely week pottering on the beach, taking Lucie the Land Train into town, and visiting St Fagans and Margam Country Park. We just need to come back to explore the coastal path now!

• Mrs Taylor - Verified booking

  The cottage was spacious, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. We especially liked the sensor lights that came on in the kitchen, hall and bathroom at night. Everything in the cottage that you could possibly need. Host very welcoming, checking we had everything we needed. Two very local pubs that do food and good beer, (but no food on a Sunday evening!) and very handy to be almost next door to the little co-op - grateful to have a parking space for the flat as space is limited in Bishopston. Ideal location to explore the wonderful Gower peninsular with lots of walks and varied terrain. Really appreciated the milk, welsh cakes, coffee and flowers in the kitchen on arrival. Thank you Rhiannon!

  This is an incredible apartment!

  The sea views from the lounge and main bedroom are so beautiful - watching the surfers and the tides changing was a real treat. The pictures of the place really don't do it justice. Rest Bay is a stunning beach which has a surf school and hire shop with a cafe. The beds are really comfy and there is everything you could need and more in the kitchen (with some lovely extras which really added a touch of luxury). There is plenty of room for all the family with all the facilities you could need. With three flights of stairs, you need to be fairly agile though. Overall, we would thoroughly recommend this apartment.
