  We had a problem with the central heating as all the radiators went cold at 7.

  30pm sent a text to the owner who came over after a few moments and she said its because the radiators were up to temperature as they had thermostatic valves. all the valves were set to 5 which is the highest they go the cottage was getting cold so it was not the valves, she had a look at the boiler which was not on despite it being on a timed programme and pressed a button to reset and the boiler restarted about 2 hours later we had to reset the boiler again ourselves and we had to keep doing this for the duration of the holiday sent the owner another text at 9.30am on Monday to say we have to keep resetting the boiler every 2 hours otherwise the radiators go off and the cottage goes cold, she came over again and said again its the thermostatic valves and that's how its set up despite the cottage being cold my mother who is 85 feels the cold could tell when the heating was going off and we had to keep an eye on the time to get ready to reset the boiler, there was a electric heater in the lounge so we had to put that on to get some heat in the lounge overall the cottage was nice and cosy just the heating was the problem

  Chronic damp in en-suite bedroom.

  Owners attempting to mask with diffuser. When one opens the wardrobe, it is overpowering. Very poor quality mattresses which belong at the tip. Twin beds are for children - not adults. Settee offered nil support when used. Heating system highly controlled with FIVE time settings which made tenants constantly have to override to achieve any warmth. Fourteen degrees at night? Why do owners think they can spend money on prettifying a property (lovely bathrooms) and then neglect the basics? Sykes property guidelines for potential owners specifically states there should be ‘ no hint of damp’ and comfortable mattresses. We had to leave after three nights as unhealthy and uncomfortable. It isn’t our job to carry out property inspections and we weren’t prepared to have confrontation with owners over matters that cannot be rectified. The owner denies the property has a damp problem - really? Heating needs to be around 18-22 continuously to deal with damp. £700 for a week in October ? We completed our trip to the Gower in a lovely modern warm caravan……

  Great Gower location.

  Panoramic views of the Loughour Estaury to your right, Cefn Bryn and then Oxwich to your left. Watch the sunset over the Estuary from the front patio. Listen to the peace, cuckoos in the forest and inhale fresh air. Gwyneth is the best host and it’s totally dog friendly. Lots to do nearly by - Rhossili, Three Cliffs, Llanmadoc, Oxwich, Port Eynon and Horton bay, Mumbles, Gelli Hir Woods is a nice quiet walk nearby if you have dogs. Always watch the high tide times if you venture out for a long walk at Three Cliffs or if you want to attempt the causeway on Worms Head. Cottage has everything you will need for your Gower escape. Local shops not too far away. The Ship Inn Port Eynon and the Britannia Pub in Llanmadoc are dog friendly. The King Arthur Hotel do nice food but dog friendly outside only. All in all, Gwyneth is a fabulous host and it’s a lovely quiet location to get away from it all and explore the outstanding beauty of the Gower Peninsula with your four legged friend. Have a great trip

  The location and views are staggering.

  You can see Swansea bay from one side of the cottage and llanrhidian sands towards Llanelli from the other. Just to add more the views over the gower and the open farmland can be seen on the two sides you can’t see the sea. The Stall is clean and tidy with all the facilities you expect from modern holiday cottages. There is even a freezer for you to store your gower gelato ice cream or Joes if you choose Locally they cariad cafe in nearby penclawdd serves brilliant breakfast with the thickest cut bacon you have ever seen. Oh and they are next to GG’s where you can buy the icecream The owner and family are a credit to the holiday industry nothing is to much effort and she is so enthusiastic about the local area. We will be back

  The Old Dairy is a brilliant cottage to stay in, and by far the best we have ever experienced.

  Lovely rear secure garden for our Darcey (Cockapoo) to investigate. Ideally situated to visit Rhoselli, Port Enyon and Oxwich Bay, which are all pet friendly beaches. Caroline and Huw have put a lot of work into making guests feel very comfortable, not to mention the scrumptious welcome tray for us humans as well as a treat for the pooch. I won't say what was on the tray as it would spoil the experience for further guests, let them have a lovely surprise! We certainly slept extremely well, must be a combination of the Welsh air, Welsh water and the extremely comfortable bed! The facilities in the cottage are second to none and we would definitely recommend it. We will hopefully be going back in the near future. Suzanne, Ray & Darcy
