Little Gem in the Mumbles! Fishermans Cottage with Log Burner, Dog friendly and Welcome Breakfast Hamper!

The cottage was very pretty, comfortable, clean and in a quiet area close to Mumbles town. Literally a few metres down from the cottage there was a great walk leading to one of the beaches. Great for dog walks. We were left a very special hamper with many tasty snacks which we really appreciated. The woodburner came in very useful as it was cold in the evenings and we had been left enough wood to use during our stay.

There were a few issues with the boiler when we arrived which were managed but this took time. As we were only staying for a days, I felt this should have been managed before our arrival. We like to park the car and walk everywhere which would be ideal if we didn't have baby. The cottage is at the top of a very steep hill which is hard work with a pushchair. The cottage isn't really appropriate for babies or children under 5yrs

Great little cottage. Full of character. Good location.

Beautifully furnished, very homely, feature fireplace with wood burner. Comfortable beds and sofas. Quiet location. Amazing breakfast basket and milk provided. Shampoo soaps toothbrush etc all provided. House warm has central heating. Very fast Wi-Fi around 900 mbs. Lovely warm shower with instant hot water. Owner responded straight away when contacted and was very polite and helpful.

Steep stairs with limited landing area requiring stair gate for safety. No upstairs toilet. Step between dining room and toilet not marked so missed it until we placed an orange bag to remind us to step down . Street access steps are old steep and worn . No parking permit for residents bays opposite so parked 200 metres away up a hill. Hive heating controls inoperable at time of stay but could still turn heating off from the back bedroom control so this is as not a problem. Bath has some rust spots. Front door letter flap blows open with the wind. No net curtain in front lounge window.. Despite this we had a wonderful stay

Comfy main bed, well decorated upstairs.

Not the relaxing quiet break I had hoped. Very thin walls so noise from both sides from neighbours with small children was a problem. Stayed over the weekend and both sets of neighbours had guests and loud noise. The one side had what must have been a party and the music was going until 5am. Contacted the cottage owners around 4am and they advised I called the police. I explained I did not want to do that as I was holidaying on my own and did not want any come back. I had needed a relaxed break but was glad to get home to some quiet. I requested a refund for the saturday night when I was kept awake all night but they said they can't do anything about neighbours noise. They said it had never happened before but I can't imagine anyone being happy with the thin walls and noise travel. Cottage itself was okay but stairs were a hazard as they were open and steep and uneven so some may struggle. The kitchen was adequate but needed updating...most appliances were trailed using extension leads which did not appear that safe? Bathroom could also do with updating. It was a shame the owners were not willing to refund the one night especially as this cottage was not cheap.
