Roman Bridge Close Reviews

Kathryn
Location and parking was excellent. Plenty of space. House and furniture a bit tired and needed a deep clean.
Ruth
The house is well designed and decorated throughout with a good number of bathrooms. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Places are easy to get to from the house and the local beaches are good for surfing. We visited a variety of places and despite the unpredictable weather we enjoyed our holiday.
Jan
Fantastic house in a beautiful location. A short walk through Clyne Gardens brings you down to the beach where there is a free splash park, playground and beach. We had a wonderful week and the house was perfect for us.
David
This property has good accommodation in a nice position but is spoilt by lack of care and attention to detail in cleanliness and kitchen equipment, and lacks the welcoming touches.
Heather
Beautifully located property in quiet area with easy access to glorious Clyne Gardens . Within walking distance of charming Mumbles along the waterside. Decent pub meals can be had at the Woodman, a short walk away on the main road, either down the road or through Clyne Gardens. The house is well equipped with the benefit of a secuded garden. We stayed three nights with two other couples and wished it could have been longer.
Christine Ann
Three generations stayed in the accommodation with plenty of space for all. Our stay was perfect from the start to finish. Plenty of easy parking. Bright and airy rooms and plenty of garden space wrapping round the house. Good to have two lounge rooms and separate dining room. The kitchen was well equipped and had the bonus of an air fryer. Wifi reception was good. Within walking distance of the beach and bus stops. Safest route is through the park which brings you out near the pub and pedestrian crossing. If you are looking for a place to go where you can sit back and relax then look no further. We managed to book a Morrison delivery which saved on search for shops.
Katie
We really did love your house and would happily come again everything was perfect
Nicola
We spent a wonderful week here over Christmas, and all found the house very relaxing. Great for a big family gathering and enough room for everyone. The shops in Mumbles, local wooded parks and coastal walks gave us everything we needed for a fantastic week.
Darren
We had a swimming event at the nearby pool and this proved to be a great location for our two families. With parking being a challenge, the drive at the property really helped us. The communication with the owner was fantastic, recommendations on travel and the area were great.
Patricia
the size of the property was big enough for the 8 of us
Helen
A very good place to stay for a large family group. Very well equipped. Good location for both Swansea and the Gower. Amp,e parking space
Kevin
A very well kept cottage. Everything about it was first class.
Elizabeth
This property is very well placed for access to all local attractions while still being in a pleasant, quiet area. Accommodation and facilities are excellent. Highly recommended.
