Photos suggested a prettily decorated, luxe environment so the spartan nature of the interior was a bit of a surprise. I realised looking back that the photos are full of props that aren’t actually in the house (decanters, flowers, breakfast supplies etc) hence the mismatch between expectations and reality.
As several other guests have said, the bedding isn’t warm enough for winter, and I didn’t like having to keep the electric blanket on for when the fire went out.
There is no other hearing other than the combustion stove, but that is very effective when it’s up and going. There’s plenty of good dry wood.
There is nowhere in Swansea that serves or sells food after 8pm, which would have been nice to know.
The cottage itself is a piece of history and interesting from that perspective. But the promised seclusion is moderated by a very close next door neighbours house and caravan, and a major road.
