Excellent cottage, we would highly recommend it for a family reunion or a couple of families staying together. The layout of the cottage works really well, the beds are super comfortable and WiFi is good (as one of our party needed to work while there). There are amazing coastal walks on the doorstep. We loved the log fire after a wet and windy walRead morek and we were cosy despite December temperatures. We hope to return in the future. Hide

Holly Tree Lodge was absolutely amazing to stay in, very comfortable and had everything we needed, including kitchen facilities for the keen cooks in the family. The upstairs was a wonderful bonus with great space for reading. The sofas were comfy and the dining table had ample space for our party of 8 adults. We were close by to lots of beautifuRead morel beaches, we particularly liked Oxwich bay. All in all a fabulous week, we just wish wed booked for two! We would definitely recommend Holly Tree Lodge.

A few very small issues. The boiler is REALLY smelly and situated in the kitchen between living room and bedrooms. Constant smell of diesel in the house from the boiler was most unpeasasnt I'm afraid. The shower shown in the website gallery is not present in the property. To us, a shower is a shower so it wasn't an issue, but some guests mighRead moret be disappointed! The kitchen was way too small to do much cooking. We were only 2 p[eople, heaven knows how you would cook for a family of 4 with hardly any worktop space and a small island. With the dining room so far away on the other side of the living room it couldn't be used as a food prep area. So for us, the property had issues, which is a shame as otherwise it was a lively place to stay Hide

The up stairs toilet seat, was covered in urine underneath the seat ( very strong smell and not very nice ) also unable to close windows in upstairs bedroom as double glazing broken. Lucky we had great weather other than that it was a very pleasant place to stay

The only reason I've dropped points is because the advert implies the property overlooks Three Cliffs Bay. As our daughter has mobility issues we thought she would be able to sit outside and at least see and hear a beach on days when she cannot get out and made the booking for this reason. People, especially people with disabilities, have to relyRead more on the information provided on the advert and it is very disappointing to find it is not truly written. Having said that, now we know the true location of Holly Tree Lodge, we would still love to return in the future as inside it was the perfect cottage for our needs. Hide

We and other family members have booked through Home From Home for a number of years when holidaying on Gower and the service and quality of properties has always been excellent.
