Guests say
The Edith is a well-liked cottage in Gower, appreciated for its spaciousness, modern comforts, and scenic location ideal for family visits and dog-friendly holidays. Guests enjoy the proximity to local beaches and walks, though some mention the approach road is challenging for smaller vehicles. The garden is a highlight, especially in good weather.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable. However, there were comments about dirty skirting boards and a heavily frosted freezer, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, proximity to the beach, and lovely walks. The only drawback mentioned is the rough track leading to the cottage, which can be difficult for smaller cars.
Guests find the beds comfy and the property spacious, with a decent garden space. Some minor discomforts were noted, such as the lack of mirrors and towel rails in bathrooms.
The property is well-equipped, but guests have suggested additional facilities like games, a dishwasher, and a barbecue. Maintenance issues like a broken kettle switch and incorrect plumbing were also mentioned.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Mrs Simpson
Great location, quiet but within a short walk to amenities in the village, including shop, cafes, takeaway and lovely beach. Footpath immediately next to cottage leads to rocky headland and coastal walks. The cottage was a great layout with plenty of space for six people. A little let down by the cleanliness and signs of neglect that could do with nipping in the bud.
