Perfect small cottage

Really well designed, perfectly proportioned cottage. We visited in January and the owner had switched the heating on for our arrival so it was toasty when we got in. The fixtures and fittings were immaculate and the whole place felt so homely and welcoming we immediately started to relax. Perfect location to explore the Gower and Swansea.

A week at Berry Hall

A lovely place. The property is within easy reach to beautiful beaches, either by foot or a short drive. Rhossili and Oxwich beaches were particularly stunning. Don’t be put off getting there initially as there are some narrow lanes leading up to it- very quickly get used to it though.

Great Easter in Knelston

We just had the most amazing combination of natural beauty and comfort. This little home is super clean, comfy, fully equipped and perfectly located. Even our kids approved, down to super fast wifi in the house and the amazing coastal walks we all couldn’t get enough of. Our hosts made us feel very welcome long before we even arrived. Thank you Wendy and Mark. We spent a brilliant Easter in Knelston.

Great location for nearby coast

Nice property but connects to owners garden which wraps around the holiday let’s garden whose dog although lovely likes to chat with yours which made us remove our dogs inside as we felt bad when ours chatted back As to the area it’s so easy to get to beaches we spent a lot of our time on oxwich bay as it’s not busy and the dogs loved it Food was delivered easily and a short drive into mumbles for a take away was no bother The weather was brilliant and early morning dog walks in the woods not far from property we’re enjoyed All in all we had a great time

Many thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed your stay. It was lovely to meet you and your beautiful ex police German Shepherd dogs. Lovely that they have pet homes after working and get the chance to have holidays. I am sorry that you had to take your dogs in to stop them chatting to ours but I must just confirm that the cottage garden is fully enclosed and separated from ours by a picket fence. It does back on to our garden but is not connected or accessible from the cottage.

Like a charming dolls house!

The Garden Cottage is small but perfectly formed! There are all the things you need, and it is warm and comfortable. All the appliances work properly, and there is a small but dog proof garden, which is a great help if travelling with dogs. A point to charge an electric shaver/toothbrush would be helpful. Gower is a beautiful area and well worth exploring

Beautiful

The location was perfect not too far from the beaches. The property was lovely and clean you were left your own devices. The owners didn’t bother with us at all only on arrival introduced themselves. They provided us with the nice point of milk which was needed when we arrive as we like, a cup of tea. Recommended thoroughly enjoyed our day like being home from home.

Knelston was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary! Quiet location amidst beautiful country & coastal scenery.

Relaxing hideaway

Very inviting looking cottage from the outside, lovely frontage and secure garden. Once inside wow you know you will enjoy the stay. The cottage flowed, and was light and inviting, furnishings are modern and every room was immaculately clean. The back porch was very dog friendly with lots of pampering goodies for one spoilt dog. The token gifts of fresh eggs and milk were most welcome as was the provision of all required cleaning items. The welcome information pack was very informative and answered all questions on how to use things as well as information about the area. Wendy and Mark are excellent hosts. There for a chat and ensuring everything was okay but not at all intrusive. The cottage is in a lovely quiet area with walks for the dog on the doorstep, within reach of beaches woodland walks, cliff walks or just soaking in the wonderful coastline. Highly recommend anyone who wants a stress free relaxing break to get booked in.

Gower Holiday/ Garden Cottage

We had a wonderful time on the Gower and the lovely Garden Cottage played a big part in this. It is perfectly situated for the beaches, with both Oxwich and Rhossili being only a short drive away. But even on the days we went a little further (Tenby and Carreg Cennen castle), it didn't take long to get to the M4. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we could have wished for to make our stay very pleasant. Wendy and Mark were perfect hosts who were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Nearby in Scurlage there was a village shop that was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay (making it unnecessary to go further afield to do the shopping). Next door to this there was a fish and chip shop with delicious food. All in all we had a very positive experience.
