The Gite was well placed for exploring the Gower the Mumbles and Swansea. The hosts Steve and Dave were welcoming and a mine of information. The Gite was clean and bigger than we thought, the kitchen was well equipped the bathroom was adequate and the living area comfortable. We would consider booking another week.

We really enjoyed our week at the Gite and found it to be clean, comfortable and well-equipped for our needs. The patio is delightful and has sea views, it is set above attractive landscaped gardens. We found it was a perfect base to explore the Mumbles and the Gower coast and we hope to return.

The Gite is great, very nicely furnished and equipped with everything you need from a holiday rental. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We have stayed in Mumbles and surrounding area many times so enjoyed walking the coastal path to Langland and Caswell Bay's as well as enjoying the shops, bars and restaurants Mumbles has to offer.
