Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Disappointed 😞
I give two star only because its good location not so far from beach apart this all was disappointing. Living room was lovely but curtain pole was broken and fixed with white tape in few places, lots of mould in bathroom( walls,shower,floor) garden is absolutely not kids friendly lots of weeds,broken garden furniture so we not used it at all,upstairs bedroom not bad but bricks hold one of the bed and other bedroom bed frames it's bad noisy so you couldn't any turn on the night . If owner will put little job there and care bit mire it could be lovely little holiday house. I was waiting for this holiday nearly year and paying lots of money but it was not worthed unfortunately. We've been most time outside enjoying Wales, I didn't let this put me down especially we driving 400 miles for this holiday. But unfortunately I can't recommend this home for anyone 😕

A bit disappointing
Let's just say the property requires a lot of tlc. The bed was propped up with bricks, the patio was full of weeds, the garden furniture was dirty and broken, light bulbs were missing, the oven needs cleaning etc. TV and Internet access were good and the welcome basket was a nice touch. The property is in a good location and about a 10-15 min walk from the beach.

Fantastic cottage
Loved our stay We stayed here with my two big kids 😜( 21 and 15) and we had a blast we all had space to be ourselves and not be on top of each other there was everything you could want in the cottage, it was a 15 minute walk to trecco Bay caravan park where you can use there bars, swimming pool, etc and 20 min walk to the sea front with more food places it very close to Cardiff and Swansea would definitely stay again check in was super easy and so was check out had the most fantastic starter hamper on arrival so thoughtful they also have sky which is a very big bonus 😊🌞

A lovely comfortable home.
A beautiful, comfortable home, that is extremely well equipped. We found the cot and high chair a fantastic bonus! Wonderful location, easy walking distance of multiple beaches. Emma was a super host, was so helpful and accommodating, and made us feel really welcome. And the arrival hamper was a wonderful surprise! We would definitely recommend, and hope to visit again in the future! Many many thanks.

A lovely cottage
A lovely cottage just 10 minutes from the beach, park Dean facilities and 20 minutes from the fair. The cottage itself it’s clean, quirky and spacious. The host left us some groceries, which were greatly received after arriving with three hungry children. I would definitely book again

Lovely home from home
This house was lovely and spacious, clean and very homely. We were greeted with a generous welcome box and both before and throughout our stay our host Emma was extremely helpful responding promptly to all our questions. The location is ideal, just a short walk to the beach, town and local pubs and shops. Would highly recommend and will be hopefully looking to return next year.
