Totes amazeballs! 😀 - The property was clean, comfortable and cosy. The garden was totally enclosed, which gave us peace of mind when the dogs were out there. The property is conveniently situated with shops and takeaways not too far away. The beach is only a short stroll from the house, and I’d highly recommend visiting The Old Observatory for coffee and eats. Simon and Lana were amazing hosts, communication with them was exceptional. We had a lovely stay and we will definitely be booking again. 😞 - Nothing

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!
