The cottage is in an excellent location for views of Swansea Bay and proximity to the promenade and wide range of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants in Mumbles. Guests should be aware that it is located on a steep, narrow one way street with parking only available further up the street. The cottage itself is comfortable, well furnished in a modern Read morestyle with some stylish features. The bed is comfortable, with fresh linen and plentiful towels for the excellent bathroom, with a spacious walk in shower and stand alone bath. The cottage is generally well equipped, apart from a couple of issues we hope the owner will address. The outside area has three options for sitting, with excellent views down to the Bay. We found out from a neighbour that we were probably the first guests in this property so we would expect one or two small details to be ironed out. Hide
