Reviews
"Our family of 8 stayed in both properties on this site for a long weekend to attend a christening locally. We had a wonderful time the barn conversion is lovely and has everything plus that you could possibly need. We hosted a drinks and nibbles party on the Saturday night for 12 adults and there were more than enough glasses, plates etc and parking! We all loved our stay, there was a warm welcome from the owners and a lovely welcome basket in each property. We hope to be back!"
"We decided at the last moment to visit Wales. So only booked this on the Tuesday before we travelled on the Friday. We could not have chosen any better. This place is absolutely beautiful. Every thing you could possibly need is here. The rooms are so spacious, and set out so lovingly. The kitchen is great, with every item you could possibly need. If I could rate this more than 5* I would. Visited with my wife, daughter and three grandsons. Aged 19,15,11 and they absolutely loved it. We will be back "
"This is my 4th time here... I always get excited about my stay here its peaceful quite clean and gives you a home from home feeling. It's close enough to the M4 but still in the middle of such beautiful countryside. I'm planning another few trips here this year you really won't be disappointed 5 star accommodation. The owners are always welcoming and always leave you a goodie basket which is always appreciated. There's so much in Wales to do you will be spoilt for choice. But this is one place you really don't want to miss out on."
"We rate this cottage 5 stars. My daughters, boyfriends & I come away each year to celebrate Xmas early & have yet to come across such a beautiful cottage to spend our special weekend away. The pub was 15 / 20 minute walk away, the cottage was warm with heated flooring, spacious, clean, well lit & just utterly perfect. Will 100% be returning here what a lovely place."
"This barn can not be bettered. It is warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean, spacious, and well equipped. The owners are delightful and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly without being intrusive. We love the welcome basket and flowers. This was our second visit and we are sure to return."
"This beautiful cottage far exceeds all expectations. It simply has this wow factor about it. Beautiful countryside yet close to the M4. You couldnt wish for a more warm clean home from home feeling. The owners Dawn and Brian are fantastic nothing is too much trouble. This is my 4th visit to Wales this year my 2nd visit to Ysgubor Hir. The next day after returning home i had already booked another week here in March next year. I highly recommend this cottage you will definitely not be disappointed. 5 star accommodation. "
"Spacious , clean, warm ,comfortable barn conversion, all you could possibly need for a quiet holiday. A great welcome pack and flowers from Dawn who greeted us on arrival. Easy parking and a good position from which to explore all South Wales has to offer. Would highly recommend."
"We had a wonderful week here with friends and our children. It's beautiful, peaceful and well looked after. We wished we had booked for a couple of weeks. "
"This Barn conversion is brilliant it has been restored to the highest quality,it is very roomy in all the rooms, more like a five star hotel than a holiday let,this is our second visit and are to return next year.Dawn & Brian are excellent hosts nothing is two much trouble for them."
"My wife and I , together with another couple, have holidayed in many places in the UK for the last 25 years. This place is one of the best , if not the best, we have stayed in on a purely accommodation level. Couldn't fault the place and Dawn was lovely as well. Enough said...."
"We've stayed in a lot of self catering cottages but this is definitely the best to-date. Thank you Dawn for providing all the home-from-home touches. The kitchen contained all the condiments, foil, cling film etc you could want. Bedding, towels, soap and toilet paper all provided. Not only that but Dawn left us a welcome basket of chocolates, drinks and welsh cakes. When we arrived dawn came to welcome us and again to say goodbye. Nice personal touches. Thanks."
"We stayed in 4 rental cottages over the month we were in England/Wales and this was by far the best we encountered (and not the most expensive) It was like living in a fully furnished house, with everything included (including soap which was missing in all others). The attention to detail with the conversion was obvious as was the personal touch that Dawn has put into the property. A lovely welcome basket greeted us. If you are looking for a place to stay around the Swansea area, don't go past this one. ITS A BEAUT"
"This Holiday let was excellent. This barn conversion is done out to a very high specification. We had a warm welcome & very homely feel to the cottage welcome gift & flowers too. Wonderful way to spend Christmas with our family in the area. Comfortable clean and well laid out felt like being at home definitely would book again soon. Dawn & Brian the host could not do enough to make our stay more comfortable. This is a hidden Gem away from it all peaceful & restful."
"A lovely cottage filled with all the home comforts one could wish for, and finished to a high standard set in a beautiful peaceful countryside setting. The owner is very helpful and welcoming presenting a lovely cottage plus welcome pack and providing a wonderful start to your stay in Pontarddulais. I would undoubtedly recommend this cottage to anyone wishing for a peaceful break away in Wales, the owners are very friendly helpful and welcoming. 5 Star in our opinion, highly recommend"
"My husband and I spent a week here, accompanied by my cousin. We hosted a family and friends reunion (five people) here one afternoon, and the cottage was large, nicely furnished, and had a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for our special event. Dawn, the owner, could not have been nicer and more helpful. Things that mattered especially to us besides the obvious: good wi-fi, heated floors, good insulation, meaning that this cottage would be comfy even on the coldest days. Be sure to get good directions. It is not far off the M4 but is tucked away a bit."
"We stayed here over the New year period. The cottage has recently been completed and was therefore in excellent condition. The owners have finished the renovation to a high standard, whilst retaining traditional cottage features. Most of the cottage is on one level (with only a couple of steps), so was great for letting the children run free. The owners met us personally on our arrival and left a lovely hamper for us filled with locally sourced produce, which was a really nice touch. We would love to stay here again and would recommend it to friends."
