"Jeff was fantastic. Very responsive and made us feel very welcome—a home away from home.We had a lovely stay with the family and our beloved dog. The garden was amazing, secure, and our dog loved it. My brother stayed over for an additional night and said how lovely Jeff and his wife were and looked after him very well.Will be back."

"We loved our little stone cottage which was sparkling clean and had all the necessary amenities. Access to the beach was clear, sunsets beautiful and the well maintained grounds a delight. We dined at Homestead restaurant which was a fascinating experience with unusual tastes. The steak was the most tender I have eaten. We also love Swansea, a beautiful seaside country town with a great selection of cafes and eateries. Highly recommended."
