  On arrival, out of respect, I took my shoes off but unfortunately the carpet in the bedroom was soaking wet.

  When discussed with staff, they said it had been deep cleaned prior to us arriving. The cabin was clean and well presented but unfortunately with the carpet being so wet, there was a strong damp smell throughout. The shower was cold. This was mentioned to the reception staff, no one came to sort it. Due to having PTSD, I have a service dog. I explained this to staff but unfortunately this wasn’t passed down and I was repeatedly questioned by multiple staff (some lovely, some not so kind) about this even though she had her labelled harness on. Unfortunately, 1 member of the bar staff was extremely rude- when I went to the bar to get a drink she was standing with her work colleague, looked me up and down and said to her work colleague ‘You can sort that one’. There was a dog roaming around outside the cabins, pooing everywhere which the owner didn’t clean up even though there are lots of dog bins. I had to point this out to staff. I refuse to pick up other people’s dogs poo. On leaving, there were two males sat in their car on the carpark right outside reception smoking very strong cannabis. Marian staff were seen walking past the car but nothing was mentioned. The car parking spaces were small and the disabled parking spaces were small too, there was only 4 and were being used by people in large trucks with no blue badges displayed. As a disabled badge owner, this is extremely frustrating!! I would like to say on a positive note- Jason the handyman was an absolute godsend and I wished I got to thank him before we left.

  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

  Our lodge was in a lovely spot, up in the corner and a short walk to the facilities.

  It was clean but did have a dog smell. (I chose a doggie lodge as I wanted the option to invite a friend I was visiting in Wales over for coffee with her dogs, but we always went out!). The shower was big and always had plenty of hot water. The spa was a bit disappointing. The jacuzzi was attached to the pool and was cold (we had goosebumps!), the sauna had 'turned itself off' so was only 50 rather than 80 as it heated back up, but the steam room was good. We ate at the restaurant the first night and enjoyed our food and drinks. We were given vegan custard without being told it was vegan, but the colour and consistency of it looked all wrong. This was sorted quickly and yummy ice-cream was brought out very quickly to go with the delicious sticky toffee pudding! Huge range of cocktails on offer too.

  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.
