A Xmas break for all the family - 10 adults, 2 kids and 3 dogs. Great location near the beach (which was stunning), Swansea just 20 mins down the road and the house was plenty big enough. Kitchen was great, bedrooms were spot on, the pool got well used along with the pool table….clean and comfortable….what more would you need?

House is very dated but for the price and big parties of people it’s ideal. Kitchen very well equipped. Nice big table for us all to eat together. Cold room was very handy. Pool was a bit on the cold side but kids didn’t mind and was never out of it. Big house in lovely grounds and a view of the beach.
