The cennen pod
Excellent peaceful location -just what was needed đ All linen spotlessly clean Would highly recommend

Home from Home - Eaton House
We had a great stay! A & R were incredibly friendly, patient, and responsive - they replied to all our messages very quickly. The house was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and located in a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood just a 10-minute drive from Swansea city centre. Everything was exactly as described, and we felt right at home. I would definitely return to Swansea and stay with A & R again. Highly recommend!

Berllan @ Gelli Glamping, Bannau Brycheiniog NP
Wow ,just Wow ! What a wonderful place. We loved every minute of it. Full experience with good and bad weather. Quiet, relaxing place with hot tub , fire place and everything else you need to have relaxing time. My family and friends all loved it. Will definitely be back !

Rose Cottage Zip World Beacons Bike Park Waterfall
nice place responsive host no complaints all good

Waterfall Country Pods 2
our primary choice of venue was its close proximity to where my sister lives, we were not disappointed with that decision. For future guests' stay I would suggest lubricating the keysafe as it was stiff to open; the bed area would benefit from small shelves (triangular) to store eg clock. Stacey & her parents have done a brilliant job in installing the pods. Thank you

Gower Accommodation Self Contained
We really enjoyed our stay here! Came for a friend's wedding at the King Arthur Hotel which is an easy 10/15 min walk up the road with gorgeous views and lots of sheep. Simon and Em were really responsive and super flexible about our check in/out time (very much appreciated by 3 hungover girls on the Sunday after the wedding), quick to respond to our questions and really friendly and generous. The property is exactly as described, clean and comfortable with gorgeous views. Highly recommend!

Entire Modern Home
Great place to stay with beautiful surroundings. House was as described and clean, and the host was responsive and friendly. Would recommend anyone travelling to South Wales - 5 Star

Beautifully Spacious Coastal house near the Beach
We had a wonderful stay at Christopherâs lovely home!! The house is very spacious and well kept, and we instantly felt comfortable. Christopher was very responsive and helpful, and kindly put up a baby gate for our infant daughter! He and his family also left out some wooden toys our daughter could play with and lent us their high chair. The house has a great yard and is in fabulous area, very family oriented and we loved having Clyne Gardens so close! We would strongly recommend!!

Large family friendly, cosy detached home, (Sun)
We had a lovely long weekend in Burry Port, felt very relaxed at the house, it had everything we needed and was in great condition. We enjoyed being able to get onto the cycle paths easily and ride to the coast and Pembrey country park. We are planning to visit again!

Sandy Shores
We had a lovely few days stay at Bethanâs place. The kitchen was well equipped and the view from the lounge was amazing. Bethan responded well and we enjoyed staying here.

Seaglass Cottage Mumbles spacious 3 bed -sea views
We had a fantastic break! Fabulous location and great accommodation made a wonderful visit with my parents and two young daughters.

ESCAPE TO THE SEA in beautiful Carmarthenshire
This is our second visit to the homely chalet, again it was clean and warm and welcoming after a long drive. The beds are clean and comfortable, and the shower hot. Lesley has absolutely everything that you may need before you even know what you need, this makes your stay. I will be booking to stay here again as the location is great and accessible.

Tranquil 2 bedroom house 5 minutes to the beach.
Really enjoyed our stay. The house has a lovely back yard area for sitting out. In the summer this will be great. House is cosy, clean & warm. Lisa kept in touch with out being intrusive & super friendly. Great house Lisa. Will be booking again. Thank you X

Cedar Lodge: Beautiful log cabin with hot tub
We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The location was just what we were looking for, nice and quiet with a large grass area for the kids to play on. The hot tub was the perfect way to end a busy day exploring the Gower peninsula and the large games room upstairs kept the kids entertained. Thanks Sam for a great stay!
