  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

  Gwynfryn was a lovely tastefully renovated house, with all the comforts of home.

  The kitchen was well equipped with up to date appliances and plenty of cooking utensils and crockery. Three TVs with Sky included, an unexpected bonus. Comfy beds, ample bedding and two bathrooms. The garden still needs a bit of attention but I'm sure this will eventually be up to the same standard as the rest of the property. We have been holidaying in self catering accommodation for many many years and this is definitely one of the best. Cannot recommend it enough. The village of Penclawd is very well positioned for touring the Gower peninsula. It has a very well equipped supermarket, two butchers, two pubs (only one serves food), hairdressers, fish and chip shop and Indian takeaway plus a brand new children's playground. There are beautiful views over the estuary and walks along it.

  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

  Mrs Rees was warm and friendly from the first day we arrived and was very helpful prior to our visit.

  The heating had been put on prior to us arriving and a note placed on our door welcomed us. We were greeted by Mrs Rees soon after we arrived and she was available to ask for any help we required. She offered us a change of linen as we had a change of guest with us following the wedding we had attended. Very, very helpful, basics were also provided such as sugar milk tea and coffee on arrival absolutely brilliant also asked about whether heating had been set right as our stay little late in the year. Also met and found Mr Rees helpful and polite with conversation on a working farm. We had a brilliant week still much to see on the Gower but it was made really pleasant by the Rees family. Our dog enjoyed all the walks and the welcoming cottage.
