It was immaculately clean and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise, which included home baked cakes. The owners live next door and were happy ti answer any questions and their information book was very comprehensive, containing not only information on the house, its appliances but local cafes, restaurants, walks and places to visit. We had a great week and our dogs did too.

Owners attempting to mask with diffuser. When one opens the wardrobe, it is overpowering. Very poor quality mattresses which belong at the tip. Twin beds are for children - not adults. Settee offered nil support when used. Heating system highly controlled with FIVE time settings which made tenants constantly have to override to achieve any warmth. Fourteen degrees at night? Why do owners think they can spend money on prettifying a property (lovely bathrooms) and then neglect the basics? Sykes property guidelines for potential owners specifically states there should be â no hint of dampâ and comfortable mattresses. We had to leave after three nights as unhealthy and uncomfortable. It isnât our job to carry out property inspections and we werenât prepared to have confrontation with owners over matters that cannot be rectified. The owner denies the property has a damp problem - really? Heating needs to be around 18-22 continuously to deal with damp. £700 for a week in October ? We completed our trip to the Gower in a lovely modern warm caravanâ¦â¦

Bobs (the Labrador) loved the garden, as we did. Everything you needed was provided and the location was brilliant. Didnât get long to get anywhere and we visited a different one every day. Also, lots of great places to eat. All in all, great holiday.
