We stayed here for one week and our holiday was perfect, we had a very happy warm welcome from the owners and they could not do enough to make us feel at home. The Gite was spotless very pleasant and homely there was nothing required there at all, when opening the patio doors there is a lovely garden to sit in and listen to the birds, to the left aRead more sea view which was super to wake up too and a very short walk to the beach again which is very clean and a lovely promenade walk. We were totally impressed when we were shown into the property we could just unpack and enjoy every moment of the holiday. We would definitely book to stay here again it was all so comfortable. We could not thank the owners enough and must say would loved to have stayed longer for the total peace. The owners are never far away but do not trouble you in any way at all. The whole area where we stayed was to perfection. Hide

The Gite is a very comfortable, light and attractive apartment. We found it a lovely place to return to after some cold and windy winter walks. Its ideal for accessing Swansea Bay, which has an excellent cycleway/walkway to Mumbles Head and into Swansea. The owners were especially kind and thoughtful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Second time we've had the pleasure of staying at the 'gite'. Everything you need and two lovely owners, who are around but not over familiar.. my friends birthday, they even gave her a bunch of roses. Made her stay a bit more special..
