"Relaxing place with friendly welcome"
We were made very welcome by the owner who was only happy to help with any queries about the area. The house has a new bathroom and is finished to a good standard. Although the weather was not good we still kept warm and there was everything you could need for a good stay. The beach is a 20 min walk down some steep dunes but worth the time as it is beautiful and very quiet when we arrived. We came away very relaxed and would go again happily |

"Great location for walking in Gower"
We were made to feel welcome. The accommodation was clean and well kitted out. We could walk to three cliffs, pobbles, pwldu, hunts bay, the gower inn and pennard stores and cafe. We have been going on holidays to Gower for over 25 years and we will be returning to James Grove cottage in the future. The walk to pobbles and 3 cliffs is short enough to pop down with your surf borard! |

Thank you so much for a fantastic holiday! One of our best that even the weather could not spoil.
A wonderful and comfortable place to stay with very helpful and friendly owners. With beautiful walks and beaches all close by we couldn't ask for more.
We would like to thank you for making our little girl's 5th birthday special and one we are sure she will remember for a long time. The children will miss Buster, they could not wait to go out to see it if he was around to play with.
Will highly recommend to everyone we know - can't wait to come back!! Thank you again. |
