There is plenty of room in the accommodation and with the added benefit of having three bathrooms/shower rooms this was a bonus. Parking for more than one car was brilliant and the enclosed back garden with the beautiful views of the sea and balcony area was perfect. It is also very pet friendly

We rented it previously in 2021 but its such a pity that the property is now just becoming a typical holiday rental regarding cleanliness with scratched/dirty walls. Dirty cupboards/drawers - we cleaned the ones we wanted to use. The shower was slow draining had lots of gunge/hair in the drain - we had to clean it. Most of the skirting boards were dirty. The freezer is desperately in need of defrosting, dirty oven, dirty patio windows, carpets in downstairs bedrooms unclean, balcony decking in disgusting state - we had to clean before using. Problems with the electrics tripping. We contacted owner who said electrics had recently been checked and this was a new problem,. Regarding the freezer the owner said someone must have left freezer door open as she recently defrosted it and said she would visit property in a few weeks time to inspect.. Also said she regularly repaints the walls - amazing some marks remained from 2021 of which we pointed out to owner at that time.

We have regularly stayed in the local area in other properties and are happy when we arrive. as it feels like a second home. This property was a second choice due to a booking being cancelled by another owner. Wow what a blessing swn-y-mor is. There was more than enough room for six people and the view is out of this world. Thank you for sharing and hopefully we will be back soon
