Barton Court is a really lovely place to stay!…read more I stayed for a couple of nights for a hen party, so we booked one of the cottages, and made the most of the spa facilities, kitchen and gardens! Why I liked it: - The beds are comfy and slightly squished in (but at least that means you can get more friends involved!) - The kitchen is large and has all the cooking paraphernalia we needed. - There is a nice lawn (we used it to play boules/ pétanque...) - There is a washer, a drier and clothes racks (I guess this would be useful for longer holidays!) - The spa facilities are clean and pleasant - we spent time in the pool, sauna and hot tub. - We had facials/pedicures included in the price of booking to rooms. A couple of girls spent extra to have massages - they were lovely. - The owners have some happy, friendly dogs. It is a bit in the middle of nowhere...but it doesn't take long to drive to the beach and for us it was the perfect venue.

Penrice Castle Cottages is a collection of holiday home rentals in Gower, Swansea, South Wales. My…read morehousemate and I were down there just a few weeks ago for a wedding at a nearby hotel and decided to rent a local cottage rather than stay at a hotel. We rented Martha's Cottage on the Penrice Estate. It was absolutely lovely- picture attached of the outside but the inside was quirky with a lovely country feel. It was cosy and warm and we loved the quietness of this place (it is set back from the road). However, what was best about our trip is that if you rent one of the Castle Cottages, you get access to walk through the incredible Penrice Estate- complete with derelict castle, acres and acres of beautiful scenery, and a very impressive listed building worthy of Pride and Prejudice. It is completely gorgeous, and you can look down on the sea too. Nearby is Oxwich, where you can walk to from Penrice, down through the estate and then down over the dunes to the beach. Just stunning. We had a very easy booking experience with Penrice Castle Cottages, they offered us a weekend rate rather than a full week's rental. They were also very helpful afterwards when I found I had accidentally left something at the cottage afterwards. I would highly recommend- this area is just outstanding in terms of landscape, and the cottage (complete with log fire) was just up my street. I'd like to come back sometime to this magical place.

Splashland is an indoor swimming pool situated inside the Trecco Bay holiday park…read more This is a fun pool, with most of the features mainly suiting children and families. It is very busy during the school holidays and summer. The pool operates on a timed slot basis, and you are given a coloured band which indicates the start and end time of your session. The pool has a decent waterslide, a children's pirate ship play area and a separate toddlers area. There is a jacuzzi type bubble area where you can sit/lie which is joined to the main pool. There are two swimming lanes - sometimes roped off and sometimes not - which are fine for some relaxing swimming - but due to the size and temparature (Very warm) of the pool they are not really suited to serious swimmers. You can sit and watch the swimmers in a seated area, and there is a good size changing village, including family size changing rooms. There are aqua aerobic classes available during the week.

a fantastic place to take the children,very reasonably priced,well maintained,plenty of lifeguard…read moresupervision,a very comfortable changing village. Great water slide and fun pool that includes a toddler end including slides, a pirate ship area for babies and toddlers,set seperate from the main pool.

This little holiday village shop is pretty good. Prices aside, as we all know these places charge…read moremore as they have a captive audience. In the morning if you don't feel like cooking breakfast or if you are camping you can get a cooked breakfast eg hash browns, bacon etc They sell all the usual holiday gear like buckets and spades and postcards but also sell food items and drinks as well. It is a well stocked shop and you usually can get something similar to what you would use at home. The thing that I really like about it is that it has a book swap shelf at the back. All you do is take along any books that you have read swap them for some you haven't read (book for book, eg you leave one you take one) and then put a donation in the charity box. I love this as I read so many books when away that I couldn't possibly stash all those in my suitcase. Staff are really nice and friendly.

After reading steeps review yesterday morning and needing to do the weekly shop we decided to head…read moreover to Bryngwenyn Farm and shop there. Bryngwenyn Farm is just as steeps writes and in a beautiful spot, I would definitely recommend its' location for a peaceful getaway with its' holiday cottages and b and b with the great advantage of the fabulous mainly organic farmshop with wonderful proper organic and freerange eggs(delicious for breakfast today). As well as doing a good shop there, we bought the aforementioned sausages, pork etc some wonderful organic vegetables, we had delicious home made cake and tea so definitely a step up from the usual supermarket venture.

Bryngwenyn Farm is many things in one. The part we go for is the Farm Shop. We were pointed here by…read moreout neighbours and decided to visit one Sunday afternoon. It is a bit off the beaten track so we had never seen it before, but we were pleasantly surprised. The shop itself is tiny, but still seems to hold plenty of goodies. There is a freezer full of meat (including the best sausages we have ever tasted), a fridge packed with cheese, yoghurt, milk and more, another freezer with bread, icecream and frozen fruits, a fruit and vegetable section and then shelves full of everything you can think of. They even stock Ecover products so if you are looking to avoid the supermarket, this is the place to go. Their home-milled flour is well worth a try and makes delicious bread. The shop is also a cafe and is laid out with a few tables. If you are looking for something different, they sell Alpaca wool gloves and hats! The rest of the farm includes holiday cottages and animals to see as well as the flour mill. I am tempted to sign up for one of the bread making courses. It is in an idyllic spot too with gorgeous views and a posse of sheep to greet you as you make your way down the track!

Unlike the…read moreholiday park campsites (Ruda has marked out plots), you can set you camper or tent up almost wherever you want. Most importantly, you can camp next to your friends. There are few facilities but the shower area is great. I almost expected there to be a jacuzzi! The staff are friendly, as were the campers, and the site is only a couple of minutes extra walk from the beach than the Ruda site.
