Everything you could need available. Able to travel light as everything catered for . Lovely touch of tea ,coffee , breakfast and milk. Mike was very proactive. Arriving during a particularly cold 🥶 weather blast , he noticed that we were boosting the heating so ensured that timers and temperatures were reset without being asked .

Mike was a brilliant host and the cottage was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for more. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everything inside had been really well thought out. The breakfast basket with milk and croissants was a lovely touch and very much appreciated.We’re looking forward to booking for another stay soon.

Wij hebben een heel fijn verblijf gehad in het blauwe huis aan de Williamstreet in Swansea! Het huis ligt ontzettend centraal met de Tesco om de hoek, het centrum en het strand vlakbij! We kwamen voor een optreden van Bob Dylan die maar liefst drie keren optrad in Swansea dit jaar! Misschien wel omdat gezegd wordt dat hij de naam Dylan heeft geleend van de beroemde dichter Dylan Thomas die het grootste deel van zijn leven in Swansea heeft gewoond en er geboren is. We hebben de beide Dylans gezocht en gevonden. Ondanks veel regen toch ook mooie wandelingen gemaakt tijdens de droge periodes tussendoor. En gezellig gehad in het huisje, spelletjes gedaan, films gekeken via Netflix op een mega televisie en lekker gekookt. Met de bus naar Mumbles en gegeten bij the George. Lieve mensen in Wales! Dank jullie hartelijk Simon and Lana!
