'Cartref' is a spacious, very well equipped house, which was very comfortable for our week on The Gower ....and we could see Mumbles lighthouse from the attic bedroom!

Very cozy, clean cottage, not far from the center of the buzzling Mumbles village. Four bathrooms are really useful for a family stay. The long cliff walk starting at the bottom of Plunch Lane towards West is amazing and kept very well. I recommend also the Papis Pizzeria in Mumbles managed by an authentic Sardinian family.

On arrival we were greeted with a lovely hamper of local produce. The house was situated a nice distance from the hustle and bustle of The Mumbles yet within walking distance. Footpaths to the spectacular coastline are close by. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with plenty of space.

Well equipped, clean and welcoming cottage with the added bonus of 2 parking spaces. The layout of the accommodation was ideal for my husband and myself on the first floor and my son and daughter in law on the second floor, with their own ensuite. Really good location only 15 - 20 minute walk down to the Mumbles Pier and several local eateries e.g.Read more the Lighthouse. Our particular favourite was Verdi's for authentic Italian pizzas and ice creams. By car and headland walks we explored several local beaches e.g. Three Cliffs bay, Oxwich beach and finally the outstanding Rhossili beach which stretched for several miles, ideal for kite flying and building sand castles. We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and we hope to visit again in the near future. Thank you for the welcome pack on arrival. Hide

House is perfect for young family but rear garden small and not child friendly. Be aware house is at top of a hill though on a bus route. Car essential as main access to Mumbles via hill without pavements for much of the journey

Good location and a 20 minute walk over the top and down into the village or a 10 minute walk down to Limeslade from where we walked along to the pier then on the prom and into the village.

A lovely modern property with everything you would need. Very clean cosy. Excellent quality bed linen and a well equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and appreciated. The location was OK for us as we had a car and know the area but could be considered a little remote for some as it's not close to anything. However, it was everythinRead moreg we needed and we would happily return and recommend it to others. Hide
