    There's nothing I didn't like.

    The accommodation was central to everything and was cozy, clean, comfy, and well equipped with everything. The owner Allison was very helpful and friendly.and we loved being able to just walk to shops restaurants pubs and the sea.

    It can be challenging to find free parking on the streets but there are several paid car parks available in the area.

    Lovely cottage with lots of character and ideally located to explore the area. We loved sitting on the terrace in the morning and eveings enjoying the views of the castle and the beach. We also liked being able to walk down to the shops and restaurants and along the promenade. Allsion was very helpful and kind and always available if you need any assistance.

    Nothing it was wonderful!

    Throughout the booking Allison the host kept in touch and couldn’t be more helpful. The cottage itself is far cuter and prettier than the pictures show. It’s been done beautifully and is a pleasure to stay in. We had the most marvellous time and it’s in a perfect location as well. The views are wonderful as well! The check-in was fantastic and we dealt with a wonderful lady who went out of her way to help us. I can recommend the cottage highly enough.

    Nothing at all

    Having stayed in many cottages and apartments I have to say that this was by far and away the very best ever. The cottage location was perfect in the heart of Mumbles and the views from the high level garden over the rooftops and the Cardiff bay were exceptional. Inside the cottage was immaculately clean and very well on comfortably furnished, more like a persons home in regular use than a holiday let. In the lounge was a very comfortable leather setter and matching armchair and the whole atmosphere and ambience was one of loving care. On a practical side the kitchen was exceptionally ell equipped and had we wished to the facilities would have been more than adequate to cook even the most complex meal. Crockery and cutlery were plentiful and of a high standard including proper wine glasses (often lacking in rental properties. The fridge had been stocked with milk and the tea and coffee containers were full and fresh. Cleaning and washing facilities including a washing machine were plentiful and excellent. All in all My wife and I have never found a property even remotely as good. Finally the host Allison was extremely efficient in responding to any questions we had and had a warm, friendly and welcoming manner.

    Stairs very steep and rope handrail moves so not very steadying. The terrace also has extremely steep stairs and is not suitable for oldies or young kids. Needs to be a trip hazard warning on kitchen step to outside as 2 of us tripped on it. Kitchen mats slide around and are hazardous too. Single beds very hard and uncomfortable. Twin room en suite very tight for space and door doesn't stay closed.

    Great location, very close to beach and shops.Spotlessly clean.

    Charming characterful cottage in a great location, and a terrace with a stupendous view

    • Stayed 1 night

    Guests may want to be aware that the second bedroom (in the back, downstairs) can feel chillier than the rest of the cottage. (The heating system is good, but it is hard to make the downstairs warm without the upstairs getting too hot)

    Charming, characterful cottage on a quiet street in Mumbles, but still very centrally located. All amenities you might need. Particular standouts included the homely wood-burning stove (with firewood available) and the outside back garden terrace with stupendous views over Swansea Bay. Easy and flexible communication with the host.

    No parking and on a very narrow lane. I should have google earthed the area first. The rope handrail going up the stairs could do with being tightened up a bit.

    Centrally located and close to shops/pubs etc. Downstairs twin bedroom with en-suite was perfect for me with mobility issues. Cosy and clean, although there was a blood stain on the underside of one of the single quilt covers. The view from the terrace was lovely and would be great on a sunny day. Cottage is nice and warm.

    Another fantastic stay! This was our third time staying at the cottage and we absolutely love it every time. The host, Allison had decorated for valentines and left us Prosecco which was such a lovely touch! The master bedroom has a very comfy bed and the kitchen was great for us took cook our meals in. Perfect location for beach walks and mooching the village. Can’t wait to go back!

    Parking isn’t the easiest, but that’s more a Mumbles problem than anything this property can do something about.

    This is a very quaint place cottage in an ideal central mumbles spot. Even on a rainy November weekend it made for a relaxing stay. Facilities are fine - not a huge place of course but was find for us, a father and son visiting Swansea university for an open day.

    Everything was perfect for us. Just a note that the garden terrace would be difficult for anyone with limited mobility.

    - Cottage interior spotlessly clean and very nice decor, feels just like a “Fisherman’s” cottage! - all facilities kept in good condition - lovely terraced garden with seating area for a group, has great views of the sea, oystermouth castle, Swansea bay and surrounding hills - ⁠great location in Mumbles for shopping/eating/going out for local coast-side walks and short car journeys to the other amazing locations along the Gower coastline. - Allison answered our query so quickly and was extremely helpful

    Such a lovely cottage, the decor is fab. So much attention to detail! We spent the day mooching about mumbles (everything you need accessible by foot) and both evenings on the terrace watching the fireworks over Swansea. A fab location with amazing views. You can hear the sound of the sea from the terrace which was so relaxing while we were having our morning coffees. Perfect little weekend away!

    As the log burning fire is prominent in the listing, it was a little disappointing to be advised of the charge for logs etc once booked ( not that it was expensive).It seemed a little mean but certainly didn't spoil the stay.

    Very cute cottage moments from the sea front. It's clear lots of attention has gone into keeping this cottage feel traditional and homely and utilising the small proportions. Everything you could need and a lovely view from the terrace. We loved it. The communication was excellent and checking in/out simple.
