  • "Large, quiet & comfortable house but rather soulless with nothing about it to suggest a coastal holiday home near the sea."

    Nice, big Smart TV & huge well-equipped kitchen. The area is high up from the coast with a very steep walk on the main road (no pavement) to & from the nearest beach & access to coastal walks so, unless you want to drive everywhere, you need a pretty good level of fitness. Very handy bus stop close by for buses to Mumbles & Swansea. PS A welcome pack would have been nice (& also new toilet rolls for the two toilets instead of two half-used ones!).

  • "The house is well equipped and maintained."

    We stayed over Christmas and it perfectly accommodated the extended family who came to visit during the break, with a spacious lounge and dining room. Everyone slept well and appreciated the location of the property , enjoying walks in the local area.

    Spotless, well equipped and felt like home from home. Fabulous location with easy access to walks and local beaches. Would have loved to stay for another week but sadly it was already booked.

  • "This is a commodious and very well equipped house that’s nicely situated above Caswell: it gives as ready access to the bay and to the cliffs of South Gower as it does to the shops and restaurants of Oystermouth."

    It’s a fine base for an exploration of the entire peninsula, one that we’d happily recommend to others.

    Swansea and Mumbles are where i was brought up so whenever we visit it's to see family although we still love the area very much and it's very special to us. Number 30 is a lovely house, very comfortable in a quiet area. We had a great visit again and didn't really want to leave.

  • "This property is one of the best I've stayed in."

    ..spacious, in excellent condition, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's in an extremely quiet & pleasant residential area and it's very easy to access places. We had sunshine all week & every day we walked to the coastal paths via paths on the nearby golf course or drove to beautiful places such as Rhossili. The area is hilly so not for people who require flat walks!

  • "Lovely holiday in a great location."

    It’s up a big hill and my husband has long covid so we drove most places but the friends we stayed with enjoyed lots of walks to the seafront. The property was spacious with everything we needed. My only suggestion would be some gates to enclose the back garden as our toddler kept running down the side of the house to the front which meant lots of chasing after him but that was a very minor thing and overall we had a great holiday with lots to see and do nearby.

    Quite hilly but can park in free car park at Underhill if going to The Mumbles which saves steepest climb. Other close beaches have car parks. House is very well presented and, with the warm weather, we had a really good stay.

    The house itself is really spacious and well cared for, everything we could possibly need was provided! The house is so close to the woods and Caswell beach, and minutes by car to everywhere we needed to go. It would be an excellent base for further afield trips too. We will definitely be booking again next year. I 100% recommend staying here if you are a family looking for a South Wales base for your holidays!
