We stayed at the apartment for a week, & we really enjoyed our stay overall. The apartment had all of the amenities that we needed. The view of the ocean was incredible, & there were nice walks along the ocean a very short distance from the apartment. The beach was also a very short walk from the apartment. The host was very helpful & responsive too. We would definitely stay at the apartment again.

Great location near the beach

We stayed for 4 nights over Easter and had a fantastic time. The apartment is within a few minutes of the beach, and the coastal path between The Mumbles and Caswell Bay (and beyond if you're feeling energetic). The apartment had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and comfy enough to be a home away from home. Some great places to eat and drink within a short walk. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent place to stay

We stayed in this property for 2 nights whilst visiting the area for a family birthday celebration. The property is extremely comfortable - we all commented on how comfortable the beds were ! It was very clean and tidy, nice and warm given its the winter. It was also a pleasant surprise as there were a few essentials in the cupboard ( often places don’t do this any longer ). Lovely to have a sea view. I would definitely recommend this property and we plan to use it again another time.

Lovely stay with a short walk into Mumbles

It was a lovely property in a great location. The owner was really easy to communicate with and the beach and coastal walk were beautiful.There was some scaffolding at the property which the owner inform us of beforehand. This was not being used. There were some early works on a flat downstairs but we let the owner know and they let us know it would be handled.I would stay again

Ideal pad for work and pleasure

Perfect spot to relax after working by day in Swansea. Idyllic view and heavenly to have walks along the coast path before and after work. Excellent selection of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. My daughters enjoyed swimming, the local and other beaches and trips to a National Trust property all within a 30 minute drive whilst I worked. The apartment and surrounding area was very quiet indeed. The apartment, linens and contents all super clean. Excellent WiFi and all the basics you could need. Can’t fault it and would definitely return and recommend it. Also the owner supplied a really useful info sheet with various recommendations which were spot on.
