Mr Taylor
Lovely unique and quirky cottage and the owners were very welcoming. Surrounding garden and location is amazing. Quite a lot of stairs in the property so only suitable for fit and able guests. Bedroom was lovely and bathroom very clean. Nice freshly baked Bara-brith cake for us on arrival. WI-FI could do with upgrading.

We had a wonderful stay at the School House. The view from the bedroom was stunning. Sitting there with a coffee in the morning, rain or shine, was so relaxing. Peter and Sian were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation has everything you need, a well equipped kitchen, although the downstairs is a little on the narrowside particularly where the TV is. The beaches of 3 Cliffs and Oxwich were walkable from the property but parts of the walk back up for both was steep. However, well worth it as the beaches, particularly when the tide was out, were breathtaking. Rhossili/ Worms Head just a 20 minute drive away and well worth a visit. The property is in a quiet location so very peaceful. Just be careful on the single track road approaching the property as we had to turn round a hit a concealed rock.

Lovely quirky cottage situated in well looked after garden. Location was very good for beach trips and coast walks. Fantastic view when relaxing in the armchair in the bedroom looking over the garden with 3 Cliffs in the distance. Lovely big bath to soak-in with plenty of hot water. Found Internet slow but when connected was ok! Smart TV in Living Room and bedroom. Very peaceful location.
