We have recently returned from a week at Brooklands and would highly recommend it. The house is set in a peaceful valley with very pleasant views from the front garden, and isn’t overlooked. The house is spacious (having 2 sitting rooms is a bonus), very nicely furnished, well kitted out and comfortable. The water comes from a spring in the back garden and the house has a gorgeous upstairs bathroom and bath in which to enjoy wallowing in it! The area has a great community feel - a very short walk to the Britannia Inn (good food and nice garden with view of the estuary), and a bit further on is the community shop which has a cafe serving home made cakes etc. It is also possible to walk from the house through the Cwm Ivy nature reserve and onto the beach. Gower’s main beaches are a short drive away. My one caveat is that the front garden has a high-ish (4 foot or so) drop onto the drive - I would say therefore that in view of this small children/dogs may need to be supervised when in the front garden. Loved it here - a really great place to stay and I’d book it again in a heartbeat.

We had a lovely week in the cottage. As we had fewer guests than it caters for it felt very spacious, light and airy. The weather wasn't ideal for the barbeque so it wasn't used. The close proximity to the pub was very handy. We would happily go back again.
