Everything you could want in a holiday let and more. We have stayed here on a number of holidays and we are never disappointed. Beautiful, huge garden. The owner is very helpful and we always feel at home when we are there.

"We love how Rebecca asked if we got there safely and when we went back home."
I place was so homely and quiet we could have stayed there longer. The wildlife came in to the garden and I got some coconut feeders plus monkey nuts for squirrels and birds. Brilliant time visiting my family and friends also showing where I spent my youth in the area.

The house is lovely and so many nice little touches! The garden and wildlife that visit were the icing on the cake for our stay and wound definitely recommend a stay here.

"A beautifully presented cottage."
Everything looks like it has been done with care. Kitchen facilities and equipment is great. Lovely comfortable nights sleep. It is a really good central point for exploring the coast and the mountains.
-
"Rebecca, the owner, was friendly and solicitous of our needs."
She went out of her way to help. The property fully deserves 5 stars. Rebecca gets six. The location suited us well. With a car, the hills, the sea, castles, caves, railways, gardens, Swansea, and more, are in easy reach. Our only disappointment - we were unlucky with the weather, which discouraged us from making the most of the garden and patio.
-
"Lovely property exceptionally clean and very comfortable owner lovely and very ..."

Will be booking again ASAP. This place is a real gem. The owner are very attentive to your needs. Lovely welcome basket. I can't really list all the things I love about this cottage and setting as it would take to long. It is ideally place. So close to the Black Mountains and an easy drive to all amenities. We just love it.

"Fantastic cottage perfectly situated between the brecons and the gower which allowed us to stretch our legs or chill on the beach."
The cottage was a home from home with great kitchen, with all the utensils you could ask for. The kitchen diner opened up with double fresh doors to a great garden with a nice view. Wet room was perfect and the 2 separate toilet were spotless and never a queue for a wee. The main living room was nice to chill in the evening and with a guest netflix account allowed us to watch a few movies. I can highly recommend this as a base for a multi activity holiday with so much within a 30 min drive north east south or west
So happy that you enjoyed your stay at Pondfield Gate. Property Owner

"We had an incredible week here and would highly recommend this property to others."
The garden was amazing, huge and covered in lush green grass, beautifully edged by large mature trees. Detached property which provided privacy but felt connected enough to neighbours to not feel alone. The kitchen/diner was a huge plus point to the property as was the utility room and wet room - these all made the property extremely convenient for us as a family. We had incredibly hot weather which certainly helped, but every morning we enjoyed opening the double set of patio doors and eating outdoors listening to the birds and admiring the views. The owners are lovely people, who genuinely care about their property and the people who stay there. We are grateful to have stumbled across Pondfield Gate and would love to return.
Thank you so much your feedback, we love to hear that our guests had a great week. You really did have an amazing week with the beautiful sunshine and were able to enjoy the garden. Thank you for choosing Pondfield Gate Property Owner

""An absolutely stunning cottage in a great location" We cannot fault the host Rebecca and the amazing holiday home that she has created, and has thought of everything possible you could need for a comfortable home from home stay."

"The cottage and its location , the well kept, lawned garden with the beck and open fields behind, added peace and serenity making this an idyllic place to stay."

"Yet another great holiday in this fabulous cottage ."
Rebecca the owner was helpful but not intrusive. Cottage was immaculate but lots of thoughtful extras.
-
"Pondfield Gate was a wonderful property, which had clearly been carefully planned by the owners, who had invested care, love and attention in the property."
The house was clean and tidy, and beautifully appointed; in fact there were very many extras that my wife and I agreed that Pondfield Gate offered some of the best facilities we have ever found in a home away from home. It was impossible not to feel relaxed and comfortable. As a base Pondfield Gate is perfect for exploring a wide area of South Wales. We roamed across the Brecon Beacons, and out to the coast, and the proximity of the property to good transport links made getting about easy to do. Pondfield Gate exceeded out expectations, and gave us a holiday that we shall remember for a very long time. Thank you.
-
"The warm welcome from our host was only exceeded by the wine and cake!"
!! We had a wonderful week here and would love to return again.
-
"A lovely cottage."
Very clean so I felt relaxed and comfortable. Three year old daughter settled straight in. Beautiful garden and a superb hostess who was there for all our needs but quietly in the background so we could enjoy the cottage as if it were our own. Only downside was coming back to our own kitchen, because that one was very special.
-
"Warm welcome, beautifully equipped, perfect base for holiday."
Couldn't fault it
-
"Fantastic cottage with everything you could need, and more."
Rebecca is an excellent host and greeted us with a warm welcome. The cottage was spotless and had so many extra touches to make your stay enjoyable. It is situated close to the Brecon Beacons and about an hour from the coast, so plenty of things to do in the area. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone, it particularly suited our family of 4.
-
"Beautifully presented cottage; a credit to the owners'."
Good location for the Brecons, Gower Peninsular and Carmarthenshire. Lots of history to the area provided you're prepared to dig.
-
"Alles is in het werk gesteld om ons verblijf te doen slagen."
Warme ontvangst, alles wat je nodig hebt om comfortabel vakantie te vieren was aanwezig, zeer grote service, in 1 woord geweldig
-
"A lovely house."
Very well equipped and very cosy. The cakes, milk and wine are nice after a long journey. Very easy to find, the directions were good. All amenities are a few miles away. The bird feeder in the garden is visited by lots of birds, which was great to watch whilst having our breakfast. Bird food was supplied, which is a lovely touch. We had a very comfortable stay and will try to go back.
-
"A beautiful house in a peaceful setting."
It was lovely to sit outside and eat dinner listening to the leaves rustling in the trees. We had a warm welcome from the owner, she made sure we had everything we needed and provided some much appreciated goodies on our arrival! I think if you have tea and cake, it makes a house feel like home. Thank you very much for the gate lock and tarpaulin for the motorbike. It made his holiday having his baby with him, made my holiday having a happy other half! We all felt very spoiled at the end of the week.

"Mrs Reed was very welcoming & didn’t have a problem with us arriving late, a beautiful place indeed"
-
"This is one of the best houses we've stayed in - and there have been a few."
Massive kitchen- you could easily entertain 6 adults if you have visitors. The two separate living rooms are a godsend. The snug afforded us peace and quiet to read whilst the kids watched tv in the other room. The only down side was that it was a little way away from the action. About 7 mins drive to a large Tesco and swimming pool but nothing really within walking distance. It was fine for us because we had the car - a really great house!
-
"My family and I had such a fabulous week, the weather was perfect, the cottage outstanding."
The owners were so warm and welcoming and full of information. We will definitely be coming back again!
-
"Above and beyond the normal standard of hospitality."
-
"The cottage was perfect in everyway."
We had the most wonderful welcome and the owners were so helpful. The home made cakes on arrival were excellent. The facilities were exactly as described which made our stay extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend.

"Great welcome with home made cakes."
Owner checked in with us during stay to ensure we had no issues or problems. Will be back
-
"A beautiful cottage, splendidly equipped and furnished with care to a high standard."
We were given a warm welcome, good information about the property and ideas for exploring the area. The home-baking, tea and prosecco on arrival was lovely touch! We had everything we needed for a great cottage holiday.
-
"Wonderful cottage in Wales - close to Swansea and the Gower, which we know well, but also close to the Brecon Beacons, which encouraged us to explore a new part of the country!"
The cottage was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The owner gave us a very warm welcome, along with delicious homemade cakes! We will be going back.

"Pondfield Gate is a great example of what a holiday cottage should be."
The renovation and extension of the original building has been very well done. The furnishings and decor are quite exceptional and the cottage comes with all the equipment that you need. The owner met us with a friendly and informative greeting and was available should we have needed her during the holiday. Wet weather kept us indoors on several occasions but this was not a problem in such nice accommodation. There is little to commend the village of Cymgors itself except that it is a convenient base for visits to Cardiff, Swansea, the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons, all within an hour's drive. We also visited the National Trust properties at Aberdulais (40 minutes), Dinefwr (30 minutes) and Rhosilli (60 minutes). It was a good holiday only marred by too much liquid sunshine!

A pretty, detached cottage, set back off the road, on the outskirts of the village of Cwmgors, near to the town of Ammanford in South Wales.
Set opposite the owner's home, this delightful cottage with its large garden areas to both front and back will suit a family or couples looking to explore this wonderful area.
Charmingly furnished and decorated, the owners have created a welcoming and comfortable cottage for your holiday.
The spacious kitchen with dining area has two double patio doors allowing wonderful sunshine to flood in and gives easy access into the lovely rear garden.
Why not enjoy alfresco dining on the patio, sit on the seat around the large tree while you listen to the flowing brook and the joyful birds in the trees, or enjoy some outdoor games together?
Cooking family meals on the wonderful range, sitting together round the table and then enjoying a catch up of TV programmes in front of the warming woodburner or a quiet read in the snug, all add to the enjoyment of your holiday.
With two comfy bedrooms you will all enjoy a good nights sleep and the two bathrooms offer the chance to relax in the bath tub or enjoy a refreshing shower in the wet room.
With superb scenery all round you may want to explore this beautiful part of Wales on foot, or for keen cyclists you can enjoy days out on two wheels returning home to this delightful cottage to wash the bikes off and store them safely away in the bike shed, before planning the next days activities.
Visit the coast with its sandy beaches, the Millennium Coastal Path, suitable for cyclists and walkers alike, and the superb Pembrey Country Park where you can try out the dry ski slope.
From this comfortable cottage your days out can be different every day, and your time spent in the cottage and its garden, will be a most enjoyable part of your holiday.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
