Incredible stay

We had an incredible stay. 4 adults and one toddler. The view from the house is breathtaking, location great for coastal hikes and afternoons on the beach. The description said no towels, but they were present. Would highly recommend staying here!! I wish we could have stayed longer!

Absolutely gorgeous!

We came for an October family holiday and were extremely happy with our choice! The property is amazing - cozy, clean, modern, well-equipped - and the location is just stunning. Even though it was too cold for beach days and water sports we never had any shortage of things to do with the kids, and there’s an impressive amount of high-quality restaurants and pubs in the area. Definitely hoping to come back again!

Wonderful location

The highlight of the property is the stunning location and wonderful views. The accommodation was clear and the comfortable living area ensured we could keep looking at the views! Great instructions to get to the property as it is remote - which was great for our party. We hadn't anticipated the outside staircase to the self contained flat, but it all worked out well. Definitely to be recommended!

Beautiful View

The location of the house is amazing and the view is outstanding. Very peaceful and relaxing! The walk to the beach was fun and the felt like your own private beach! The house was fine and comfortable and has all the amenities you expect. Some updates are needed and old but overall highly recommended this house and we would visit again for sure!

Beautiful hidden location

Lovely hidden location and a gem of a holiday home. Perfect for our family using both upstairs and downstairs’ accommodation at West Winds. Everything you could need for a self catering stay and more with those little extras that you normally need. Such an amazing view of Slade Bay through the huge picture window and from the upstairs balcony. A fantastic location for a very short walk down to the Bay for early morning swimming and a fun climb down the rope access! Highly recommend!

Mrs

Lovely view, spacious common parts inside and out. But two bedrooms very small and if there were 6 people staying, downstairs, there is only one toilet! Also one room has no cupboard so no where to put anything . As a family of 4 we were fine, quite comfortable. Just I hope a useful comment for other bigger groups.

Fantastic family break

Fantastic home in a perfect location. The size and layout of the house works well for a large group of people, and the ample parking is a bonus. The outdoor seating area is perfect for sitting in the sun overlooking the sea, star gazing at night, and we were lucky enough to see shooting stars and dolphins too! The lounge chairs and outdoor furniture provided were a great edition. It is located only a short walk or drive from picturesque beaches. All of the mattresses are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. The living room sofas could be updated as they're quite tired and the whole house could have been cleaner for example cob webs on walls and furniture and mould needs to removed from the shower. But overall a lovely house and place to stay and we'd happily come again.

Lovely property with dramatic views

Lovely, clean accommodation with amazing views. We spent a few days here before Christmas to meet up with family. The weather was challenging, but that didn’t take away from the views over the bay , the large windows allowed you to take in all that was happening outside. The log fire was much appreciated on the first night, but the cottage was warm the rest of the time. Everyone loved the place and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the walks. Would definitely recommend.

Spacious and great views near the beach

Private and quiet location overlooking the sea and beach, near to the coastal path. Enormous opening windows to the patio so you can enjoy the outdoors and the view. Had a great stay - so did the dog!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Will be recommending the property to our friends

Lots of extras that we weren't expecting. The views were stunning and we were able to make use of the firepit and as my father's a queen scout and 2 family members are accomplished guitarists we enjoyed singing some favourite campfire songs. Some of us ventured down to Sands where the dogs had a great time. Disabled parents also enjoyed spending time in Oxwich Bay. Thanks so much

Brilliant view

The key strongpoint of this house is its brilliant seaview. The online listing mentions that towels are not provided, so this was not a surprise, but we felt that a house of this quality and market position would benefit from towels being provided.

Amazing property with the best view

Amazing property with the best view. We took everything we needed for a self catering short break with the family & found that it was already stocked with plenty of items to keep us entertained all the crockery needed for our break. We were able to enjoy the massive garden area & take beautiful local walks & a dip in the sea as the weather was on our side. Evenings were mainly spent eating, drinking & stargazing as we had the clearest skies with the most stars I've even seen but we did have a night in watching films with the wood burner crackling in the background. Perfectly clean, good Internet connection & good instructions for all facilities. An overall great stay 👍

Quiet location with lovely views to sea across the valley, wonderful sunsets & starry skies. Slade beach a few mins walk isn't the easiest to access but is very quiet & clean & wonderful swimming. Oxwich beach just down the road if not up to the rope or rock walk but I managed post ankle op in July. Excellent broadband essential with 6x 25-30yr old + us old!

Wonderful Westwinds

We had a lovely week at Westwinds. It is a wonderful, peaceful location and the house is light, airy, and comfortable with everything you need provided. We loved early morning walks to the beach, and long suppers in the garden enjoying the view. A lovely place to be.

Superb

The location and accommodation exceeded our expectations. We could never get tired of the view of the sea from our vantage point over the trees and down to the bay. The peace and quiet made our time restful and the stargazing in the late evening ended each perfect day.

Fabulous place to stay

This property is away from the noise and bussle of everyday life. Fabulous views and a comfortable place to stay. As a family we stayed for a very happy week to celebrate our sons wedding at Oxwich. It was a real haven of tranquility. Much enjoyed by us all, we would definitely recommend. We just hope it doesnt get too popular so that we cant book it again!
