"It was only one night. but was excellent , the only thing I could fault was that there was no handrail over the bath "

"My husband and I (and our small dog) have just enjoyed a wonderful holiday. The cottage is situated in a lovely peaceful location, perfect for exploring coast and countryside. Very clean, warm and cosy with comfortable sofas and beds. Perfect! We weren't ready to come home and hope to go back again soon."

"The first impression was that the outside of the house was festooned with cobwebs with very dirty windows, not cleaned for years probably. Not good! Inside we found plaster wrappers on the bathroom floor, hair balls in a bedroom & a broken toilet seat downstairs. Bedroom carpets & the large stool downstairs dirty & stained. Later when it rained the conservatory flooded through the side doors. The conservatory doors drainage channels were full of dirt & blocked, causing the flood. Lots of mould & dirt inside the conservatory & shower seals & runners. On day one we fixed the toilet seat and the flooding ourselves. Not what we expected to be doing on our first day! The main bedroom door is hanging on a hinge which a botched repair had not fixed & could hardly be closed. The door handle is hanging off. Most doors were grubby with long grained-in dirt. We found most of these problems were written up in the guest book at the house going back years, yet nothing had been done. I can provide photos of all of the above. There were no black bags for rubbish & no recycling bags for glass, plastic etc despite there being recycling bins outside. The advice in the house is to put everything in black bags in a bin!! No way for us to recycle despite the local authority collecting whilst we were there! Having said all this we really enjoyed our week on the Gower coast visiting various lovely beaches & the house is in a good location. This was despite the terrible maintenance and cleanliness! "

"Nice, quiet and clean place in perfect location for popping to Oxwich Bay or venturing a little further to all the interesting and beautiful places the Gower has to offer. Thank you!"

"Excellent location and well presented house. Extremely comfortable beds and you can hear the sea from your bedroom. I would recommend this house if you would like to explore The Gower. Horton is beautiful and only a short walk to Port Eynon. Only negatives, the garden is not secure for dogs, one of our dogs escaped through the hedge into the beach car park. We would also have preferred more than one key for the front door as it is required to open both inside and out. Overall we have loved staying here and we hope to return. "

"The location of the house is amazing and the view is outstanding. Very peaceful and relaxing! The walk to the beach was fun and the felt like your own private beach! The house was fine and comfortable and has all the amenities you expect. Some updates are needed and old but overall highly recommended this house and we would visit again for sure!"

"Lovely stay at Ty Florence. Beautiful contemporary, clean property that is very well equipped. Great communication from the property managers. Fabulous view from the balcony over Oxwich Bay towards Three Cliffs. Easy walk to the beach and local shop. Be prepared that it is a narrow lane through Oxwich to reach the chalet park where the cottage is located. Highly recommended."

"My partner and our 18 month old stayed here for a lovely week! Wendy was super helpful during our stay and the accomodation was exactly what we needed. It was nice and quiet and close to the places we wanted to visit during the day. We would definitely stay here again."

"Had a lovely break away here. We love Horton and were excited to see availability over the new year. We had awful weather we're used to this Welsh weather) but being a stones throw from the beach we still managed a lovely walk and some beautiful food whilst at the Gower (King's Head Inn). Would highly recommend "
