The house is located up a hill, so prepare to walk up, you can get a taxi from mumbles town centre for a reasonable price. Nice quiet area.

However all the venetian blinds need attention on the "strings" to alter their position (open/closing/lifting). I had to get on a chair (me in my 70s!) to open one of them in the dining room. The house is quirky upstairs - which all adds to the fun of a holiday - but to not have a bedside light plug point in the back double room was a bit disconcerting in the night. I was saddened to find that there was no "shaver" point in the bathroom so I couldn't charge my electric toothbrush and I had to go to Cash's Hardware to purchase a special adaptor plug. These are not "complaints" - just pointing it out.

on the Smart TV which is great for rainy days. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for our labrador to explore, and there is plenty of off road parking available on the driveway. Everything was clean and tidy and made our stay very comfortable - thank you.
