Thank you so much for your wonderful review, and such kind words.
Oh what it is to be able to relax on holiday, so we're just so glad you found our place to be both that as well as comfortable + something we always strive for, but absolutely lovely to read the words themselves! I'm not too certain who the angels were, except to say that both Angela (Ang) - my wife, and Rebecca - my Co-Host most definitely deserve to be called angels, and not just for putting up with me(!) but also for everything they have and do put into Pilton House Gower!
Should Gower be on your horizon for heading this way again, we hope you will consider staying at Pilton House Gower again, and we also hope you'll be interested to hear that since your stay, we've slightly changed the kitchen's layout, so that we could add a breakfast bar (photos will be on our listing soon)
Hope all's well with you all, and that 2024 will be a happy, healthy and successful year for everyone.

This house has more space that you’d think, is comfortable, clean and has everything you need. The communication with both owner and manager was prompt and very friendly with some great local tips. The house location was brilliant for us, with a 10 min walk from Mumbles and also from Langland. I would look to stay at this property again when we’re back in the area. Thank you to John and Rebecca!
The host was extremely friendly, shared lots of useful information and was easy to contact. The property was very clean and spacious, and well located within walking distance of a convenience store and butcher's shop. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Oh dear Rachel and John, I've only just discovered that we'd failed to respond to your wonderful review following your stay in September 2022! That you'd left such lovely words, and that you'd written suchovely thinks about both our cottage (Pilton House Gower) as well as about us, was very kind of you, and very gratefully received, so thank you very much.
We've made a couple of small changes to the place since your previous stay, which we think you'd like, and are always considering other ways to making the place even better (hopefully the courtyard garden will have a slight change this year - weather permitting!)
Thank you so much once again, and here's hoping that whatever you do, you'll have a lovely 2024!
John and Rebecca

Thank you so much Kate, and we are so glad you not only enjoyed your stay, but that our place was so restful for you too, as they are excellent - very busy during the summer too, as they have such a wide range of BBQ foods!
Thank you for staying, and we hope we might be able to welcome you back sometime!
John and Rebecca
You're totally correct as well about our local Butchers
