This was our second stay this year in the house; we absolutely love it! Can't think of any drawbacks whatsoever! It is spacious, extremely well equipped and so handy for all local amenities. Wonderful, friendly owner too - always on hand for any queries so communication is excellent. We can't wait to come back!

Oakland House is a home from home. It's in a fabulous location; convenient for local shops, restaurants and the beautiful Gower peninsula with everything it has to offer. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and we felt relaxed and at home as soon as we walked through the door. The owners are incredibly friendly,and helpful. We're already checking our diaries for a return visit.

An absolutely gorgeous cottage. The owner has thought of everything. Split over 4 floors, each room has a home from home feel. Set in an ideal central location, only minutes from the front /shops / bars & beach. Plenty of space for a large family, including a man cave and 4 tvs. Beds super comfortable and kitchen has every utensil, crockery and equipment you could ever need. I would certainly recommend this property. We stayed for 7 nights and wished we had booked for longer. Beautiful walks only a stone’s throw away.
