The location is excellent if doing the Four Waterfalls trek (which we did), and for nearby walks and pubs. The farm was so quiet with a beautiful babbling brook at the back of the cottage, that was incredibly relaxing. There is a small grassed area across the courtyard at the front of the cottage that overlooks the fields and enjoys sun all day. We spent both evenings sitting on the picnic benches enjoying the sun go down. The cottage itself was a good size, clean, comfy beds and hot showers. They provided a lot of useful local information in the welcome book. Would definitely return
Only small issue was they advertised providing BBQ facilities to all cottages, but there wasn't any available with our cottage. Not a biggy but worth checking if you stay here and want to BBQ one evening.

The location was absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful nature and breathtaking scenic views. The bungalow was really well done and super comfortable, especially with the cosy underfloor heating. The guidebook was also really helpful—we loved the short hiking trail recommended in the information folder!
The shower screen was half missing, so we didn't like how it got messy in the bathroom. Edit: Thank you for responding to our review. We appreciate the thoughtful design for accessibility, including the chair in the shower. However, it was evident that a panel was missing (or removed), which led to some inconvenience with water splashing outside. Additionally, the actual shower setup did not match the picture in your advertisement. We hope this lovely shower room will be adjusted for the comfort of future guests!

Our cottage was on a beautiful farm, far from busy streets. It was a sweet little home equipped with all one needs. There was even a lovely fireplace in the living room.
The distance to tourist attractions is quite long, but this is nothing the owners can do about :)

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Loved the extra care of the information manual (although slightly out of date as some places mentioned had closed). Generally a cute place to stay with all the amenities you need and stunning countryside walks and views.
No bath in property (despite being advertised with one). Could have been a little bit cleaner particularly in the bathroom, but was redone as soon as it was mentioned so greatly appreciated the effort.

Super clean facility including the bathroom and toilet, best judges are always my 17 and 12 year old who are extremely picky about where they stay. Easy to find, convenient to park and property was warm and toasty when we arrived ready for us. The babbling brook nearby welcomed us first, the weather was rainy but balmy so we were able to explore the various nooks and crannies around the property as well. The information manual was meticulous, much appreciated! Overall excellent stay! Thank you!
Would have liked a selection of board games and puzzles etc to keep teenagers and adults busy. Although there were some for toddlers.

The cottage was equipped with everything we could possibly need for a small family. The owners were so friendly and helpful and the information book should be published- it was that good. This place will hold a small place in our hearts, what a wonderful place to spend time with family.

Fantastic location with lots of great walks from the front door. Lots of space and very responsive hosts. Highly recommended.
A little too far to walk to a restaurant but, this didn't adversely impact the stay at all.

Lovely little cottage in a great location. Driving distance to gower peninsula. Came here for our wedding anniversary and it had everything we needed with a very well equipped kitchen. Convenient location, would recommend!

The location was a little out on the sticks and needed to drive to get anywhere. The location of the cottage itself was lovely. Nearer wooded area. Little River by the cottage. Beautiful weather and it was very grounding and relaxing in the hot tub.
All very good

Rachel is a superhost. She makes sure everything is alright at the cottage before we checked in and during our stay. The cottage is extremely well managed, with attention to details, spacious with a terrace, the bed is comfortable and we did have good sleep after long hours drive. The kitchen is fully equipped and clean. The location is ideal for us for trips both to Brecons Beacon and Tenby. I highly recommended the Swansea Valley Holiday Cottages.
