Loved it, loved it loved it! 😀 - I loved it! Easily accessible for shops, beach etc just as it said. Parking was by permit but not a problem and organised by the host. Absolutely spotless with some clever design features. And as for the beds, pillows and towels - luxury! I will definitely be coming back to stay at this property. 😞 - There was nothing I didn't like. The property exceeded our expectations.

This is our second visit to Simon's home and we'll be going back for as long as he'll have us!!! The house is spotless, has great facilities, a lovely little garden and is perfectly situated for city activities and more rural pursuits in the valleys or Gower.

😀 - It’s clear that the owner is well‑travelled, with every item carefully chosen and placed to ensure guests feel at home. This can be seen in every detail of the property. 😞 - The stairs leading to the bedrooms may be challenging for guests with mobility or leg issues. However, this is not a hotel, so such expectations would be unreasonable.
