Beautifully clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Everything we needed for our trip back 'home ' to catch up with family and revisit my childhood haunts. Perfectly situated with the bays close by. We'll be be back. Thank you.

..spacious, in excellent condition, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's in an extremely quiet & pleasant residential area and it's very easy to access places. We had sunshine all week & every day we walked to the coastal paths via paths on the nearby golf course or drove to beautiful places such as Rhossili. The area is hilly so not for people who require flat walks!
