Cosy, well appointed annex with views across the peninsula. Friendly and helpful host. Ideal location for visiting popular spots. Walking from the door possible.
Accommodation was spacious, well equipped and in a great location for exploring the Gower. Steve was a welcoming and generous host providing loads of useful information about local walks, pubs,etc. We hope to return.
We had a lovely time at the property. Steve, the owner, was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Everything that we needed was in there and Steve was happy to help with recommendations of places to eat etc. We couldn't ask for anything more and can't recommend this stay highly enough. Superb.
We had a lovely time, enjoying the excellent nearby beaches and walking opportunities, and the peacefulness of this location. Steve did lots of nice touches that together made for a really enjoyable and relaxing stay. Our dog had a lovely time as well. We will be back - thanks again!
The annexe had everything you needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The host (Steve) was very friendly and helpful. The views from the annexe over the Gower countryside was stunning, and its location so close to Rhossili Bay and its excellent beach was a real bonus.
We booked a last minute short stay at The Annexe which is in a beautiful location with easy access to all of the best beaches.
Steve the host is very welcoming with lots of good suggestions of where to visit and eat
The annexe is very comfortable with everything provided for a relaxing break. Will definitely visit again
Thank you Steve
Excellent property. Highly recommend. Ideal for 2 people. Great location close to coastal paths and beaches. Property owner Steve very helpful and friendly. Gave us great food recommendations which we tried and enjoyed.
Spacious, clean and well appointed 1 bedroom, ground level property, with large garden and beautiful views.
Owner Steve is a local man who lives next door. He is the perfect host: very friendly and helped us with recommendations, directions, and very accurate weather forecasts 😄. We can't wait to go back.
Steve is a very welcoming, helpful, and endlessly knowledgeable host. The annexe is perfect for 2 adults and a dog - out in the countryside but just a few minutes drive to the best of the Gower's dog-friendly beaches. And back at the annexe there are Steve's 2 dogs to play with in the very large garden!
Location perfect for walking and nearby beaches, with world class scenery. The property is clean, well equipped and spacious, to a high standard. Particularly impressed with the kitchen. Steve is a helpful, friendly and informative host. Thanks for the brilliant welcoming pack of milk, wine and chocs. If you are looking for peace and quiet with breathtaking scenery , this is the place for you.
We stayed as a couple for a long weekend with our dog. We would not hesitate to recommend the Annex for yo ur next holiday on the Gower. The location is perfect - so close to Rhosili Bay and Steve is so friendly and helpful in offering suggestions on things to do and see. We can’t wait to return!
Perfect base to visit Gower area. Accommodation was excellent with everything you needed. Steve was on hand to help with any questions and the welcome gift of chocolates and red wine was much appreciated…& enjoyed. Would thoroughly recommend.
Very clean and comfortable accommodation. The host made us and our elderly dog very welcome, milk, wine and chocolate waiting for us so just perfect. Excellent location, nothing very far away. Will definitely be staying here again.
This annexe is a lovely property that is fully equipped -we have already recommended it to a friend.
It is not only human friendly but very dog friendly-the host has beautiful dogs himself that played with our terrier and made him feel welcome.
The host is generous and would do anything to help and left a lovely welcome ‘goody bag’.
It is within minutes of the best beaches in Wales-you will not be disappointed with your stay!
You will not regret staying here!
We were welcomed by Steve who was helpful letting us know what was in the area. The holiday home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The home was close to the coast and we walked lots of the coastal path.
We loved everything about The Annex, it was immaculate, much bigger than I expected and so homely with everything you needed and more.
The views from the Annex were amazing and with so many great places to visit right on the doorstep, this was the perfect place for us.
The wine & chocolates were a lovely touch too.
Steve was a great host, very friendly and always on hand if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this beautiful home to anybody.
Fabulous property with plenty of space for a couple. Comfortable and with all facilities needed. Welcoming and helpful owner, who’s happy to point you in the direction of a good walk, pub or restaurant.
Location is ideal for exploring the area. 15 minute walk across fields to the Coast Path. 5 minute drive to Rossili. 10 - 30 minute drive to all main Gower beaches / walks / Mumbles.
Fabulous.
Steve ist ein wunderbarer Vermieter. Die Übergabe war ohne Probleme und wir wurden sehr nett Willkommen geheißen.
Unser Hund „Lizzy“ wäre gerne dageblieben..
Charming cottage, with a lovely sleeping room, a well equiped kitchen and cosy living room. The view from the terrace is stunning.
Steve is the most caring landlord we have met so far. I injured my food and thanks to Steve‘s bandages and crutches we nevertheless could explore the beautiful beaches.
