Guests say
Ty Hyfryd is a well-equipped and comfortable cottage in Gower, Swansea, praised for its spaciousness, ideal location, and suitability for family and group holidays. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to coastal paths, beaches, and Mumbles town, as well as the ample parking and lovely garden. While some cleanliness issues were noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests planning to return.
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable. However, a few guests reported cleanliness issues upon arrival, such as a full vacuum cleaner, unclean grill pan, and dusty surfaces. These instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, but they have impacted the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its easy access to coastal paths, beaches, and the Mumbles town centre. The property's position is ideal for exploring the Gower area, with many activities within walking distance or a short drive. The hill's steepness was noted by some as challenging but did not detract significantly from the location's appeal.
Guests consistently describe the property as comfortable, with plenty of space for large groups and families. Comfortable beds and good showers are frequently mentioned, contributing to a relaxing stay. Some guests experienced issues with heating and Wi-Fi, but these were minor compared to the overall comfort provided.
The property is well-appointed with a fully equipped kitchen, media equipment, and additional amenities like garage equipment. Some maintenance issues were reported, such as a non-working extractor hood and a sticky dining table, but the abundance of facilities and their general quality are well-regarded.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner towards the guests. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Ty Hyfryd was lovely and ideal situated for walking the coastal path. Plenty of parking and near beaches.

This property was in a lovely area and was very clean and very well equipped. It is on a hill so may be challenging for some walking in and out of mumbles; there was a lovely coastal route (via many nice pubs and restaurants) into Mumbles or a short more direct route down to the town which was slightly more challenging on the way back! There is also a bus service right outside the house and taxi services in town (one of our party struggles with walking so she sometimes used these to get back up the hill!) The owners and the agent were very helpful when we accidentally locked ourselves out shortly after arrival (the door locks on closure so don’t leave the keys inside!) The property was fabulous- clean, really well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, nice quiet location and lovely decking area for a bbq. Would highly recommend this property and we have had a fabulous family holiday!

Roomy property for family holidays. Well equipped kitchen and the parking space is a great as parking in Mumbles itself is always difficult. However one needs to be fairly fit to manage the hills .
