Great spot, close to charming cafes and shops. Love the easy stroll along the promenade. Parking's decent but double-check your car size advice-things can get tricky.

Really loved the cottages, so comfy and well-kept. The location was perfect-plenty of shops and sights within walking distance. Parking was a huge bonus. Will definitely come back!
Emma
The cottage was charming and perfectly located, though the hill took some getting used to. Onsite parking was definitely a bonus! Lovely stay.
James
The place is perfect for exploring Mumbles and the Gower. We’ve stayed here three times nowand honestly, we’re already planning our next visit. Love it!
James
This place is perfect for quick shopping trips, just a couple of minutes awayand the hot tub’s a lovely bonus.
Emma
We loved the cottage-bright, airyand in a really handy spot near shops and cafes. Parking was a lifesaver, especially since we didn’t need the car much during our stay. Would definitely come back!

Really enjoyed our stay! The location is perfect, with plenty of cafes, restaurantsand beaches just a short walk away. The place was super cleanand the hot tub was such a lovely extra. We’d definitely come back!
Emma
Great service, will come back!
Emma
We've stayed at this cottage three years in a row now because we really love it. The recent renovations look fantastic, making it even more cosy. Definitely booking again next year - it truly feels like a home away from home!
David
Really enjoyed our stay here! The place was spotless and nicely decorated, making it feel cosy. It’s just a quick stroll to the town and coast, perfect for exploring. Local walks are lovelyand the bus service to nearby towns like Swansea is super handy. We’ll be back for sure!
Samir
We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage! It’s such a handy spot, just a couple of minutes walk to the seafront and all the shops, cafesand pubs. Despite being so close to everything, the place felt really peaceful and private. The jacuzzi was a lovely way to unwind after days out exploring with our dog. Mumbles is fantastic for dogs, with loads of beaches and walksand even in late June, it was pretty quiet, which was great for the pooch. We had a brilliant week and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a cosy, convenient getaway.
Jamie
We loved the location, the Mumbles area is stunningand it’s definitely a great spot. Sadly, the cottage itself was a bit disappointing; it smelled damp and needed some TLC. The outdoor facilities were unusableand the hot tub, which we paid extra for, looked dirty with tide marks. Thankfully, the weather was nice enough to avoid staying inside too long!
Emma
We loved the cosy cottage, just a short walk into town. The beds were super comfy, but the curtains let in too much morning light, waking us early. Also, a rubber bath mat would be handy - the bath was quite slippery. Overall, a lovely stay with just a couple of small tweaks needed.
James
We were pretty disappointed. Despite sending multiple emails about cleaning the cottage ourselves upon arrival and some maintenance problems, we got no response at all. It’s really not the usual standard we expect from your cottages, which was frustrating during our holiday. Hope things improve!
James
We booked last minute and were really impressed with how smooth everything went. Thanks a lot, everyone enjoyed!
Emma T
Honestly, we really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location is spot onand it had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. The place itself is charming and cosy, perfect for a little getaway. That said, there were a few things that could be better. When we arrived, the kitchen wasn't as clean as you'd hope-plates and cutlery still had food on them, so we had to wash everything before using. The cheese grater was also covered in cheese from previous guestsand we left it in the sink since we didn't need it. We noticed leaves and dog hairs on the kitchen floor, plus muddy splashes on the kitchen unit behind the living room door. Nothing too major, but it did look like it could do with a proper clean. The hot tub was another small issue-the water smelled a bit odd, like it hadn’t been changed in a while, so we only used it once. Still, overall, it’s a lovely place and we probably would stay again!
