We had a comfortable, cosy stay in this apartment during February 2025. The location is excellent and we enjoyed coastal walks, accessing the path from the bottom of the garden, and excellent coffee and lunches at the handy beach cafes in either direction. The apartment was generally very well equipped, but be prepared to bring your own dishwasheRead morer and washing machine supplies as none were provided. Hide

We all enjoyed our time here tremendously. The flat is very well appointed and nicely furnished and the location is incredible and couldnt be closer to Langland bay. There is a very helpful guidebook provided by the owner which also includes suggestions for surrounding places to go, things to do and places to eat. As long as youre aware before you Read morego that you have to take care of your own rubbish (which we were) then it isnt a problem as the local disposal centre is about a 10 minute drive away. The only problem was with a smell in the wardrobe of the second bedroom but we have left a comment with the owner and Im sure it will be taken care of. Hide

Great location, great patio.Did seem very open to neighbours but they were very quiet. Some crockery was not clean. Had to re-wash. Very poor instructions on removal of rubbish. sure what to leave where ( we were not prepared to go the tip as requested in the book). The Swansea guide in the book was several years old so had to check website. EvRead moreen so, left pink bag out (next to one that looked like it had been there for a while, and neither were collected. Then, no spare food waste bags or black bag in the property- meant we used a pink bag in the main waste bin and so left in the apartment- Felt we had no choice. Bed in front bedroom very squeaky, had to relocate to the room at the back with the better bed but no sea view. That was very very disappointing . Cooker was very complicated and the note left by a previous visitor in the book which informed us it takes 2+hours for the cooker to warm up enough to cook pizza was very very useful. Style of house a bit mixed up, modern and contemporary but then parts very old fashioned. Did wonder if mid renovation as could see nails in the architrave on front ensuite bathroom. The garden hedging on the left as you look out was very high, felt the view would have really been opened up if that was cut down a few feet. Overall, however, a great week in Gower and the location makes up for a lot. Hide

This apartment enjoys a fantastic location and has many excellent features but also some that disappoint. The spacious terrace and garden have an incredible view while the back gate leads straight out onto the well-maintained coastal path, with stupendous walks in both directions. The living room, bedroom 1 and en-suite 1 are all excellent. The samRead moree cannot be said of bedroom 2. It has a damp, musty smell and the bed is squeezed in. It has no carpet, no dressing table nor shelf for bits-and-pieces and no mirror. Its ensuite likewise has no shelf to put anything down on (just an above-basin bathroom cabinet), no towel rail or equivalent, no toilet roll holder and no fittings for bits-and-pieces in the shower. What is there is of good quality but theres too much missing in bedroom and en-suite 2 for an adult or couple to spend a week in it comfortably. The kitchen is well-equipped but appalling badly lit just tiny downlighters over the table and an over-hob lamp. In the evening the washing-up/microwave area is in virtual darkness. Cutlery, crockery and gadgets are plentiful and well-chosen and fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing-machine are all excellent. However, the choice for a holiday let of an AGA-style Everhot cooker with its 130-page manual is surprising to say the least. We mastered it after a while. Recycling and rubbish instructions are difficult to comply with but a helpful person at the Original Cottages office sorted out one of the problems for us. The utility room is a good feature. Whether one or two bedrooms will be occupied by adults will probably determine how you feel about the accommodation. The car park was relatively empty otherwise it might have been a squeeze for a large car. So there are a few things that could be better but it has to be said that the outstanding location and much of the interior will probably make up for the other shortcomings. Hide
