  Absolutely fantastic location - the balcony really does overlook the bay and it is a short walk to the other, bigger beach. The walk into Mumbles is doable (maybe 20 minutes?) but a bit of a workout because it's such a hilly route. It's also incredibly close to the coastal path with its stunning views. The skylights in the kitchen and bathroom offer lots of natural light and ventilation in those rooms. There is a pole to open and close them. The bedroom is quite dark but not enough to be a problem. The furniture isn't very comfy but we were there to swim and walk, not to sit around! I'm guessing the sofabed is one of those ones that is more comfortable as a bed than as a sofa, but we didn't need to use it as a bed. My two biggest criticisms: 1. The lack of recycling facilities. There is just one black bin for everything. We took our recycling home but we shouldn't have had to do this. 2. The lack of kitchen/cleaning supplies. The kitchen just had one nearly-empty bottle of washing-up liquid and a used sponge. The blurb warns you to bring your own teatowels (why?) but it didn't warn us we'd also need to bring washing-up liquid, a new sponge, cleaning cloths and a spray, kitchen roll, tinfoil, etc. It's annoying having to go out and buy all this stuff when you've got loads at home! Overall, great value for money and what a brilliant location. Would definitely book again.

  We were very disappointed by the state of the balcony area. When we arrived the windows looked like they had not been cleaned for a long time. The balcony floor was very dirty with algae and cigarette butts. A contractor arrived on Thursday to clean the walls. This was without any notice from yourselves. This meant that we had to stay in longer than we planned. This meant that we were not able to use the balcony for the rest of the day due to the chemical that he used. As part of his cleaning up he got rid of some of the algae. One of the main lights in the bedroom did not work and the glass cover was missing. It looked as if it had been in this condition for some time. Also one of the bulbs in the lounge stopped working (bulb broken. We look forward to your reply and payment of compensation for the above. You can put this on your website

  This place is a home from home.

  It's very warm and welcoming. However, it is an old building so it creaks and groans like most old buildings do. It hasn't been refurbished in a while, but I feel this is part of its charm. The sitting room is very bright and you can really relax in its comfort. You are in the heart of The Mumbles, with Oystermouth Castle a very short walk away. Just a note though, thr bar next door has regular music sessions, and it's quite loud til around 11/11.30 pm, so if you have little ones that need a quiet place to get to sleep this may be a challenge. Very good hosts, helpful but definitely not intrusive.

  We found it very difficult to recycle our waste as per the instructions provided as there were only pink bags in the property (no black or green). Would have been nice to have had a bowl that could be used in the microwave (ie for porridge) and a tea pot for us tea drinkers. We would have been helpful to have been informed that the dish washer was not working before we arrived so we could have brought washing up liquid instead of dishwasher tablets with us. Having said all that the property was clean and tidy with great views across the bay. Had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

  The property is listed on your site as having 2 bathrooms , it only has one on the ground floor, the 2 twin bedrooms are up a flight and a half of fairly steep steps, so I would suggest this is added to the description.

  To enter the property is at the rear and again really steep uneven steps up to the gate, then several shallow wider steps up to the entrance door, but then once you go in there is another full staircase that takes you up to the property, I feel the fact that there are so many steps to enter and in the property should be mentioned, as I had my 87 year old mum, who has a very weak heart and a pacemaker and my sister who suffers with asthma that both struggled with so many stairs, they were in the twin rooms which also meant having to go up and down the stairs for the bathroom
