Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henriette S. 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly recommended We had an excellent time at the Old School Cottage. The house is well furnished and equipped with everything you could need, and the location is excellent. Fall Bay and Mewslade Bay beaches are only a 10–15 minute walk away, and there is a bus stop outside the house with buses running every hour (except on Sundays), so you can easily explore the many footpaths across Gower, as well as the scenic coastal path. The hosts were very welcoming, and we were delighted to find a selection of fine local produce waiting for us on arrival! ##### Henriette S. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sally Roche r. 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### No return for us Although a little lovely cottage, close to the sea, found most local pubs all had different eating times or the kitchen was closed, so ended up with sandwiches back at home, lanes were flooded giving even more problem to access, I just think it was the wrong season February to go, i am sure it is lovely and the places serve food in the spring/summer. I do not agree for a 3 night stay of not being able to access the property until 4pm and have to leave at 10 this cuts out a whole day from a 5 hour drive. So would not book again. Plan it carefully. ##### Sally Roche r.
