The barn was great and had everything we needed. Perfectly located but the lane on both sides is very narrow. We are used to narrow roads and luckily for us we didnt meet a tractor!! The hot tub was disappointing as you had to put it together and build the fire. However during mid summer it may have been a fun addition for a relaxing evening.

Enjoyed a lovely stay at Y Llaethdy, a lovely converted barn in a great location and within easy reach of fantastic Gower Peninsula surroundings. The barn was really comfortable and well maintained. The patio was great to sit out on and catch the sunset. Our only suggestion would’ve been a larger fridge particularly for a family of 6 staying.

Just returned from a week here with my husband 2 children (17 and 11) and my parents in their 70s. Fantastic location couldn’t have found a better base for what we did. We visited Mumbles, Rhossili bay, Port Eynon, Whiteford Sands and Three Cliffs Bay. House had everything we needed for our stay we also cooked all but 1 evening for all of us plenty of pots we didn’t get chance to use the BBQ and hot tub but it was all there a long with the log burner. It was clean and comfortable. We will be returning. We also met the host who was lovely.
