Mr Mitchell
A lovely house, with unusual design features/layout. Comfortably warm although it would be more helpful to be able to adjust the temperature in the house. The lighting in the ground floor sitting room is too dark for reading.

A wonderfully spacious house in a fabulous location. Close walking distance to Hunts Bay and just a bit further to Pobbles and Three Cliffs Bay, which we walked to with the children. The house is on a very quiet, no through road. We used the large front lawn for outside play (luckily we brought lots of play equipment). On rainy days we appreciated the comfortable lounge, huge TV and great selection of DVDs. We also used some of the games and books in the house. Swansea is close by for wet weather days - we visited the market and LC water park. All communication with the owners was clear and helpful.
