Guests say
Devon Place in Gower, Swansea, is a well-regarded cottage praised for its cleanliness, superb location, and spaciousness. Guests appreciate the well-appointed nature of the property and are keen to re-book, despite some issues with maintenance and local construction work.
The property is consistently described as very clean. However, one mention of an ant problem slightly affects the score.
The location is highly praised for its superb views and prime position. Ongoing construction work is noted, which may temporarily affect accessibility.
The property is generally found to be comfortable with a lot of space and a comfy bed, but the construction vibrations have caused discomfort for some guests.
Facilities are well-regarded, but there are issues with a kettle and construction work. No other facilities are specifically mentioned, so the score reflects the mixed feedback.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners, so this category cannot be scored.

Lovely designer house. Very attractive. Comfy bed. Lots of space. The promenade is being developed for flood protection and the workers are very considerate but it makes walking along the front a challenge. Parking is hit and miss at the moment.

The location is very good with views over the bay. A lovely roof terrace to sit in the sun.

We would certainly consider this property again as it's position, cleanliness and equipment were spot on.
