What our customers say about their holidays

  Regarding the cleanliness, we have compiled a list as I feel you need to know. 1. Vacuum cleaner - completely full (we emptied it) 2. Grill pan - not cleaned since last used (we cleaned it) 3. Dishwasher filter was disgusting - it was like glue. Goodness knows when it was last cleaned (I did it of course) 4. Family bathroom toiler not clean (we did it) 5. Extractor hood not working at all 6. Heating unclear, we did our best. When we arrived all the radiators were blazing out heat and it was very hot in the house. The kitchen radiator never turned off 7. The dining table was sticky and the bench - attracting the ants that were in that end of the kitchen (we cleaned it) Given the price of the hire (we have stayed at 3 of your properties in Mumbles) and obviously this is a large house but none of the properties are cheap - I do not expect to have to clean on arrival!! I am happy to pay if the cleaning is thorough and this one was not. Also there was a great deal of dust in the main en suite bedroom where I slept, on the bedhead and bedside tables and the tables had not been moved and cleaned behind for some time. There were children's hairbands on the carpet of the bunk room so had the floor been cleaned? Despite these complaints we had a lovely stay and the weather was very kind, so thank you. PS Some other suggestions in the book by previous guests obviously have not been sorted - the light over the dining table flashing, 1 tea towel was provided but it did not look clean - of course we took our own. Also some spare toilet rolls would be helpful, until you get a chance to shop.

  What can I say about my stay? It was simply wonderful. Your home is perfect for visiting Mumbles and surrounding areas. Everything that you need is right at your door step, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, shops, castle, pier, walks, sites. The house is warm, cosy, beautifully decorated, tasteful furniture and furnishings, comfortable beds, great shower, all kitchen appliances with everything and more that we could possibly ask for. Location is perfect, we explored the whole peninsula, Swansea and the Black Mountain. It was truly a memorable time and I hope to come back soon. You and your family really thought about everything that someone travelling could need and it really shows. All the small details are much appreciated, from the DAB in the kitchen to the lovely hand gel in the bathroom to fast wifi. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us, it was really very special.

  This property was in a lovely area and was very clean and very well equipped. It is on a hill so may be challenging for some walking in and out of mumbles; there was a lovely coastal route (via many nice pubs and restaurants) into Mumbles or a short more direct route down to the town which was slightly more challenging on the way back! There is also a bus service right outside the house and taxi services in town (one of our party struggles with walking so she sometimes used these to get back up the hill!) The owners and the agent were very helpful when we accidentally locked ourselves out shortly after arrival (the door locks on closure so don’t leave the keys inside!) The property was fabulous- clean, really well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, nice quiet location and lovely decking area for a bbq. Would highly recommend this property and we have had a fabulous family holiday!

  An amazing holiday had here. Located in the centre of Mumbles with it's own parking space..that's worth it's weight in gold. The cottage was well presented, welcoming and comfortable (the king size bed was a dream!) decorated to a high standard and very clean. It was the most equipped holiday let we've stayed in. Toilets rolls, soap, cleaning products, washing up liquid, tea, coffee and milk etc. This property isn't really suited to small children or the less mobile due to the quirky layout, stairs going up to the bedrooms and down to the bathroom (it clearly stated this in the description and wasn't an issue for us personally)Also, the outside area isn't enclosed so children could go into the road. However, for us with a 12 year old this house was amazing

  I sent an email on Wednesday as we were eating breakfast to the sound of very loud banging and drilling from building work on the house next door. This was clearly major work, starting by 9am each day. This meant that we could not enjoy the relaxing week we so needed. It also meant that the traffic in the road was even heavier than usual. Walters Crescent has a lot of Blue badge parking, and people parking to pop into Tescos. Both these groups frequently park on the double yellow lines and require multiple point turns to get back out. With the building vans as well, this was so much worse and we nearly got blocked in several times. This spoilt our holiday and we would appreciate a refund to reflect the 4 days of severe disruption.
