  • "This property was special."

    Beautifully clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Everything we needed for our trip back 'home ' to catch up with family and revisit my childhood haunts. Perfectly situated with the bays close by. We'll be be back. Thank you.

  • "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 property in a great location."

    Worth the premium price as it is the perfect family home away from home.

  • "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.

  • "Lovely property, very clean and spacious and well situated in quiet residential area."

    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.

  • "A lovely well positioned property with private parking and a nice garden."

    We loved the light and well stocked kitchen. Kingsize bedroom was very comfortable with high quality linen. Small problem on arrival but the owner was very helpful and it was sorted. Hope to be back soon.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 30 Long Shepherds Drive!"

    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!

  • "Stunning property, well above expectations."

    Greeted with a lovely hand written message and some scrumptious Welsh cakes ( Thank you! ). Beds very comfortable, totally spotless. Loved the induction hob, trying to persuade my husband to replan our kitchen cooking layout now! If I could give it 15 out of 10 I would. A credit to the owners.

    Hi, thank you for the lovely feedback! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay. It means a lot to me and my wife that the comments are positive. Thank you, Rob & Sally Property Owner

  • "I'm sure this will be the first of many 5 star reviews of this brilliant property."

    It blends comfortable homeliness with a clean and tidy standard of high quality holiday accommodation. Very well equipped kitchen with everything needed. Fabulous location for the beautiful beaches in the Gower and access to the Brecons. The owners might not be close by, but were very easy to contact and get information from if needed.
