Guests say

Gamekeepers Cottage in Boncath offers a tranquil retreat with stunning views and a mix of rustic charm and modern conveniences. Guests appreciate the peaceful location, hot tub, and enclosed garden. While some find the cottage cosy and perfect for relaxation, others have raised concerns about cleanliness and maintenance.

Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests finding the cottage dirty and others not mentioning any issues. The presence of mould, cobwebs, and a dirty hot tub cover in some reviews suggests room for improvement.

The location is consistently praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions and beaches. It is described as a great spot for rest, relaxation, and exploring the west coast of Wales.

Comfort levels are generally positive, with mentions of underfloor heating and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted the furniture as outdated and the upstairs area as cold, which affects the overall comfort score.

Facilities like the hot tub are well-received, but there are concerns about maintenance and the lack of modern amenities such as a smart TV. The pet-friendly aspect is appreciated, though restrictions on pets are noted.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, aside from a mention of fresh milk and Welsh cakes on arrival. Without more information, it is not possible to score this category.
