  • "The property outside is beautiful, however on the door stating, if only, under the bed there are cobwebs, cooker there was one part of the oven not working."

    Fridge freezer draws broken and cut my finger. Fridge freezer hard to open, the surroundings of the property very noisy, and also there's a fixed council grounds maintenance. You hear them go passed every minute of the day, then we had someone knock on the door to cut the grass on the property. Not good when you know Friday we leave, so this could have been done then. Mirror broken in the shower room, this is not at all good as this could have also caused damage to us. This is mainly for a couple not 3 people, as the room upstairs very tiny and im not joking but the worst stay ever, I wanted to leave early but paying what we did to stay there I made the most of it. It was not worth the money at all, saying that there's a lovely Robin nest this was my highlight.

    Dear Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We appreciate your comments as they help us improve our services. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of our property and the Robin nest. However, we are sorry to hear that other aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Regarding the issues you mentioned: Cleanliness and Maintenance - We apologise for the cobwebs and the broken mirror. These issues should have been addressed before your arrival. Our cleaning and maintenance teams have been informed and will ensure these standards are met in the future. Appliance Concerns - We wish to clarify that the oven was not broken; it appears there was an issue with the timer setting. We apologise for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused. Additionally, we regret the trouble with the fridge freezer and will inspect it to ensure it is functioning properly. Noise - We would like to remind future guests that you can see the general location of the house prior to booking. The lodge is located in a woodland park, just outside of Swansea city. Room Size - Our listing does specify that the top bedroom is small, and we encourage guests to review the details and location before booking. We strive to provide accurate descriptions to help guests make informed decisions. We also want to note that our team is always available to address any concerns during your stay. We encourage guests to reach out at any time, and we would have been more than happy to resolve these issues promptly. We appreciate your feedback and are committed to making the necessary improvements. We hope you might consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide you with a better experience. Best regards Property Owner

  • "A lovely cottage in an excellent setting - on the edge of an extensive park with ornamental gardens and all dog-friendly."

    The facitlities were very good. All that was lacking was a bit more information about how to use the fires and cooker, for example. The host responded to our texts immediately and was very helpful when we queried lighting the gas fire. I would suggest updating the information (the key safe is on the shed not a tree stump) and the outdoor seats and table could do with a clean before the good weather comes. We only wish we could have stayed for longer.

  • "The instructions given for arrival are woefully out of date."

    I did not appreciate trying to find the key box in the pouring rain on the dead tree stump, as directed, only to find it was now fixed to the shed. Potential visitors would surely be put off by your description of the cottage heating as one gas fire and one electric fire when it has full central heating. You should leave instructions for using the system.

    A beautiful cottage located on the edge of Singleton Park, secluded spot, very cosy and comfortable, would definitely stay again

  • "The cottage was everything we hoped it would be, very clean, comfortable bed, good shower and quiet location, apart from the birdsong which we loved."

    Couldn't believe the botanical gardens right outside, leading down to the beach. Perfect holiday for our 45th wedding anniversary.

The property

Settled in a green area in Swansea, South Wales is this thatched-roof, detached cottage of Lower Sketty Green Lodge.

Looking like something out of a festive film, this cottage boasts character throughout whilst being within easy reach of Swansea's gorgeous coastline, providing a family of three the best of both worlds during their stay.

Upon arrival, you will find two off-road parking spaces resting in a secure area, providing you with peace of mind.

Continue inside to be enveloped by the warmth of the gas fire in the snug, where plush seating invites you to stretch out and unwind in front of the electric fire, after a day filled with activities.

Move through the property to find a rustic sitting room, where a gas fire fills the space with an orange glow, and exposed beams adorn the vaulted ceiling; make yourself at home on the sofa and switch on the TV to enjoy a movie.

When you're feeling peckish, the kitchen/diner can be found close by and offers a great selection of appliances, including a range cooker enjoying double electric ovens, and a handy washing machine!

once the chef of the group has rustled up a nourishing meal, you can enjoy it at the adjacent dining table over a bottle of wine.

When day turns to night, retire to one of two bedrooms, with one being an elegantly furnished super-king-size on the ground floor, which enjoys Jack-and-Jill access to the contemporary shower room; the other can be reached by an iron, spiral staircase and consists of another small double.

Outside, the delightful abode enjoys access to a charming garden, where alfresco dining can be enjoyed on the patio whilst your canine companion stretches their legs on the lawn; the space also hosts a summerhouse, which is ideal for those cooler months!

After exploring the surrounding parkland, walk a short distance into Swansea to discover ample amenities, including several shops and pubs, before wandering down to the seafront for an afternoon filled with sun and sand on the beach.

Swansea additionally hosts an array of attractions for all ages, from the historical delights of The National Waterfront Museum and Swansea Museum, to the unique experience of Plantasia and the scenic Swansea Marina.

For more fun by the seaside, embark on a short drive to The Mumbles, where a handful of gorgeous beaches, the renowned Mumbles Pier and the scenic Mumbles Hill Local Nature Reserve can be discovered.

Progress in the other direction to Port Talbort to embark on a hike across Brombil Reservoir, tour the breath-taking Margam Castle, or simply kick back and relax on Port Talbot Beach.

With a wealth of sights and attractions in the wider area, you'll rarely find yourself lacking things to do; The Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an unspoilt area that is home to an array of beaches, dramatic cliffs and ample walking trails, including hikes along the Three Cliffs and Worm's Head, is within easy reach.

Choose Lower Sketty Green Lodge for your next adventure in South Wales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
