Guests say
The Cabin in Swansea is highly praised for its stunning views, tranquil and secluded setting, and well-equipped amenities. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the warm welcome, and the thoughtful touches like bathrobes and a strong Wi-Fi signal. The hot tub is a favourite feature, offering relaxation amidst the beautiful countryside. While some minor issues are mentioned, the overall experience is one of comfort and enjoyment, making it a sought-after retreat.
Most guests found The Cabin to be beautifully clean, with only a few isolated comments about minor cleanliness issues such as dog hair and a dirty oven. The predominance of positive remarks suggests a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location receives high praise for its peacefulness, stunning views, and proximity to local attractions. The rural setting and the ability to unwind in nature are consistently highlighted as major positives.
Guests report a high level of comfort, noting the cosy atmosphere, comfortable bedding, and the inclusion of amenities like a hot tub. Some minor feedback on sofa support and a suggestion for outdoor seating are noted.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and high-spec TV. However, points are deducted for comments on low shower pressure, the need for a handrail in the shower, and the absence of fixed steps for the hot tub.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like bathrobes and slippers, there is no consistent reference to gifts or welcome items. As such, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on gifts, and guests should not expect them as guaranteed.
