In short, a stunning cottage, brilliant location, right on the beach.
Nice garden, I'd say semi-secure for those with dogs. Absolutely recommend, lovely place! For those wanting more detail: *For reactive dog owners* If you have an escape artist I'd probably just take a long line for night time toileting as fencing could be jumped. I only mention the next part because it's something that I have to carefully assess and not many people mention in reviews. If you have a reactive dog/s then this place would not be ideal in peak season. I imagine it would be very very busy. We went in November and lucked out with the weather. The beach was quiet so we could get out with the dogs easily and rarely encounter many other dogs. My dog gets too excited on lead and had everywhere been full (holiday cottages, YHA and massive campsite behind) I imagine it would of been a nightmare for us as he barks at everything he wants to say hello to, hence the low season holiday. There are amazing walks nearby, some more challenging than others. Also, Rhossili beach is about 25 minutes away by car, it's worth a trip and is dog friendly. The house was modern throughout, recently painted and well maintained. For the log burner, I'd take wood with you as the petrol station was quite expensive and the wood was damp and difficult to light. The smart central heating was a little confusing so we were glad of the fire. We finally figured out how to use it after googling it. Kitchen had all the utensils, could have done with a cupboard for storing food though as all had something in them. Take sponges, washing up liquid/tablets, bin bags, washing powder and toilet rolls. Personally I think these should all be in minimal supply for the price paid and not everything was available. The internet was better than we thought it would be. Definitely can not rely on it for work though. Smart TV streaming services could be glitchy but we were out on the beach a lot so weren't fussed. Vodafone had 0 network at all so if phonecalls are a must it was WhatsApp via the WiFi. Sykes tried to contact me and left a message that I didn't get unti 3 days later. Perhaps email contact from Sykes would be better? Getting to the cottage in the dark was okay but definitely don't forget the head torch. Not a place for those with mobility issues in my opinion. Directions on the site made sense only if you could see clearly. We arrived in the pitch black and luckily had looked on Google satalite view earlier so I knew which track I needed to drive down. I'd say follow signs for the youth hostel (YHA signs on lamposts) just to the left of the campsite entrance down a bumpy track. When you get to the gate with the padlock drive straight over the grass in front of you and park when you can't go any further due to bushes and unload here. Through a hidden opening in the bushes you go on foot down some steep steps. At the bottom of the steps turn left and follow the path around to the front of the building (you'll see beach access to the left, you'll follow path around to the right though). Follow path along the front of YHA and go through small gate with 'private' on it. Ours was the second to last cottage. Parking permit was on the table and the parking a shortish distance from the cottage back along the bumpy track.

Stunning location and cottage.
We loved watching the sky and beach changing. We did so much walking and you could just spend all your time in Port Eynon. The Smugglers Inn did some fantastic food and everyone was very friendly. Fish and chips shops were great and the small coffee shop by the surf clothes shop. We were very lucky with the weather and sat in the front garden with the beautiful beach to watch. A lot of wildlife and people watching very peaceful. We sat in the back garden when the sun moved. I did read previous reviews and so came prepared with toilet rolls wood etc. sadly the cleaning is not great but linen and towels were good. Two mugs and some plates are badly chipped and have been for a while looking back over reviews. Also two frying pans and the wok have lost some of the non stick surface. There is a gap in the fence which has some wood leaning on it but luckily my dog didn't escape. There was a lot of dogs poo in the garden which I had to pick up on arrival . The disposal of the rubbish is a bit inconvenient ....I followed instructions in the cottage book but the only bins I could find in the carpark were open general ones (however they were emptied every day) I was worried animals may pull out the domestic waste etc. Despite the remarks I have made I would definitely return summer or winter it's a little gem !

The directions to get to the house were clear and straightforward (we arrived in the dark so this was pretty crucial!
), key collection was easy too, no pressure to arrive by a certain time. The house was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. There was plenty of information around about the various pieces of equipment and how they worked, except for the TV which rather foxed us! We had a twenty-month old with us for part of the time, a stairgate, nightlight and travel cot were very kindly provided for us by the owners (thankyou so much). We did a 'reccy' to protect breakables from our active toddler, and hopefully put everything back where it should be, the last half-hour before leaving is always a bit of rush, so apologies if it wasn't quite right! The beach and footpaths are well within walking distance but there are some steep hills! The beach at Oxwich is particularly child friendly as it is flat, with cafes and toilet facilities, also a large carpark. Communication with Sykes and the owners could not have been easier, we didn't have any problems while we there but it was clear that the owners would be available to help. Would happily recommend Hillside to other guests.

The property was very clean, tidy and well maintained.
However, no house number was given and we couldn't get an answer from Sykes to find out the house number, therefore were lucky to find it. The property was on a holiday estate and wasn't in the countryside as we expected. We always avoid holiday home estates as we are used to privacy. The fenced garden consisted of a very small patio at the front only, so everyone walking past could see you, no privacy. The bedrooms are barely large enough to accommodate the beds, my wife's shins are covered in bruises trying to get round the beds past the heater, to make them. The sofas are past their best and not very comfortable, we both came back with backaches. The Hoover head is in need of a good clean. This is the first cottage we have ever stayed at that didn't provide a small welcome pack. On the positive side, I pointed out a couple of things to the owner, and she was very quick to respond, that was much appreciated.

We had an absolutely lovely and relaxing stay, and would stay again in the future!
Nothing beats the location or the scenery. There are walks to be had in every direction. We were so happy the cottage accommodates dogs, as it was perfect for our swimming Labs. The neighbours were friendly and helpful. The neighbouring guests were delightful. It is a little tricky getting to the cottage at first but once you've navigated it, it's fine and the arrangement works. Do note there are a few steep steps on route, with an alternate path for those less amble. The cottage was well stocked. If I were going to nit-pick I would say it would have been nice to have a bin liner and a bath matt in the bathroom. We really couldn't have wanted for anything else. Do give the pizza oven a try. We loved it! We cleaned it all out and had fantastic pizza and BBQ and it was a fun experience with views of the bay and the Super Blood & Blue Moon! Wish I could send photos of the pizzas.
