Despite detailed instructions, we were unable to get the stove working. Fortunately, there are numerous good takeaways nearby (we particularly recommend the Indian, Lebanese and Japanese ones).

The house is truly a 'little gem': we felt very comfortable there. Beautiful bedrooms. Mumbles is a great place and highly recommended. The breakfast basket with local specialities was wonderful. Parking is available on the side streets right next to the house. Communication was very friendly and helpful.

The cottage was quirky and homely with lots of character.

There were issues with the shower when we were there but the host was very responsive and handled this very well.

The Fishermans cottage is such a lovely and cosy place! Great location as well, just a few steps away from the hub of the Mumbles. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Roadworks preventing access to the house and a 5 mile detour. We did not receive and pre warning about the roadworks, so had to discover through trial and error a detour.

Breakfast was good, a varied selection. More than expected.

The open staircase was a little difficult for me because of my age (it would also perhaps be a problem for small children).

The cottage was lovely. It was very well furnished and the bed was really comfortable. The breakfast hamper was excellent

Nothing! It was perfect.

A cosy little cottage, warm and welcoming and in a great location.

Shower was poor with a broken thermostat. No dustpan and brush nor functional vacuum cleaner. It would have been useful to be told the road was inaccessible from the village near the beach.

Cosy cottage and comfy bed, everything you need for a relaxing break away. Loved the wood burning fire... Heating is easy to use, and a combination boiler ensures hot water on tap.

As others have noted, the stairs are really very steep - not recommended for small children or the elderly. This would be a particular concern for bathroom visits during the night, as the bathroom is located downstairs.

Location is great - very short walk down to the sea and into Mumbles. It’s up a hill, but that’s one of the things that makes Mumbles so picturesque! The cottage is small but very comfortable, and the breakfast pack is a very nice touch. Kitchen is well equipped and the place was very clean. We were able to find parking nearby without problems (even though the road - resident permit parking only - was being dug up and actually largely closed when we visited).

Perfectly proportioned little fisherman’s cottage. Decorated in a maritime theme which complemented this gem well.

Nothing to report

A lovely little cottage which really catered for our needs. Great location, a short walk from all the shops, pubs, restaurants & seafront. We loved the wood fire & Mumbles themed decor throughout. We'd definitely stay again.

Shower was difficult to control

Excellent location, within easy range of dog friendly pubs and restaraunts

Very limited hot water in the shower, other than that amazing!

The property was stunning throughout, with a cozy feel but we can also imagine with the decor it’d be an amazing place to stay in summer. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, with comfy and cozy living and dining areas. The breakfast hamper was a lovely touch. The property was in close proximity to shops and restaurants. Lovely hosts and great value for money!

Didn't realise the bathroom was downstairs (booked last minute and didn't read the information properly!). This probably would have put me off so I'm glad I didn't read it as we would have missed out on a lovely 2 night stay. The hill to town is very steep so not really suitable for anyone who isn't reasonably fit to walk back to the property!

Very quaint little cottage in a good location close to Mumbles centre. Loved the decor and the welcome pack was probably the best we've received! Beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Log burner made the sitting room really cosy. Had everything we needed for a 2 night stay.

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful 4 night stay at Thistleboon Cottage in the Mumbles. It was very comfortable and clean with all of the amenities you would require and parking close by. The Mumbles is a lovely spot, and from Thistleboon you can walk easily to the main restaurants, shops, supermarkets etc. You can also walk via the Mumbles Hill Nature Reserve to Bracelet Bay and for a meal at ROK, which I recommend. From Bracelet Bay you can follow the coastal path to Langland Bay and Caswell Bay which is a fantastic walk. The Mumbles is also a great base for exploring the Gower Peninsula, and I recommend a trip to Rhossili Bay Beach, with the Worms Head nearby, as well as a trip to Three Cliffs Bay and Oxwich Bay. For a special treat, book for lunch or dinner at the Beach House on Oxwich Bay, it is superb.

A lovely, cosy cottage in an excellent location. All of the amenities in Mumbles are close-by & it is a great base to explore the Gower Peninsula. The cottage was well equipped - a home away from home. The owner was extremely helpful & accommodated our revised arrival time. We would definitely return!

Very steep stairs and no real outdoor space

Comfortable cottage for two people. Nice bedding and good to have breakfast provided for the first day!

Stayed in September 2024

Steep stairs in the cottage, anyone with mobility issues may struggle with them.

Great host, with good communication, wanted to make sure all was well during our stay. The bed was really comfy, and cottage is tastefully decorated. Only 5 mins walk into down, but a little longer on the way back due to the steep hill. Perfect location for exploring the Gower beaches, only a short walk to the coastal clifftop path.

As others have mentioned the stairs are very steep but ok once you get the hang of them .

Very dog friendly. Despite no parking directly outside easy enough to find parking on adjacent streets. Under a 10 minute walk to facilities down in Mumbles. Great location and exactly what we needed. Will visit again.

Lovely setting, easy parking just up the road. Beautifully decorated little cottage with 2 big bedrooms. Booked to celebrate our engagement and despite only really mentioning this is a short message a couple of days prior to arrival the hosts organised some roses and fizz for us which was so kind and thoughtful. Very impressed with our stay and plan to come back soon as it is well located and very comfortable. Log fire was lovely and full of lovely touches and character.
