Absolutely wonderful holiday home for our family of 14. There was so much for everyone to do in the house so didnt have to worry about weather. Wonderful gardens and views, and so many lovely walks and places to visit. We would love to come again!!

Penmaen house is a large old house with lovely views from the grounds . It also benefits from footpath access from the grounds to not only the nearby beach and great beach walks but also to the coast path between Three Cliffs Bay and Oxwich which is a beautiful area.

We stayed here for my 60th Birthday with a group of friends and we all had a fantastic time , I highly recommend this house and location . So peaceful and gave a very relaxing atmosphere with French Country House vibes plus fantastic views. But if you want some activities there is plenty on offer and a well kept Swimming Pool plus a footpath Read morenearby down to the beach. We would love to return one day again, so pleased to have found this Gem. Karl. All Hide

Lovely location and overall range of facilities although some were not working up to standard which was disappointing given the description and rental cost.

Absolutely beautiful property in perfect location for beach and a short drive to country parks and pubs close by. Swansea town also only a short drive away so has everything a big family could need for a perfect holiday come rain or shine. Even photo spots in the garden with features in keeping with the beauty of the area.

A lovely location and a good size house but I am disappointed to say I would not recommend it or revisit in its current state. Reasons listed below: Too cluttered to keep clean Moth eaten carpets Broken bathroom facilities No lock on pool door had to move a cupboard to ensure 4yr old didnt get in. No lights in sauna broke during our stay spoke to Read moreRos but no follow up. No welcome pack useful to know when bin day etc is No very OAP step father fell off broken toilet seat. No bags to put bed sheets/towels in. Wi fi patchy Using a basket on the lawn mower would have stopped us having to brush all the outdoor chairs/ tables twice. Inventory needs updating second dishwasher had no shelves in it and water in the bottom. Ventilation poor in the laundry room if using the tumble dryer. This house has such potential but needs investment to make it worth the price it commands. Happy to talk about the experience and share photos. Hide

A great experience. There is some evidence of wear and tear at the property but it did not distract from the fabulous holiday.

Wonderful house in lovely location but really needs some updating in decor and furnishings. There are several bathrooms but the only showers apart from the poolside one were in 2 of the bedrooms which is awkward for other party members. Kitchen was well stocked with pans suitable for catering for large groups but it lacked other basic equipment. ThRead moree garden and leisure facilities were excellent apart from the advertised golf holes which were non existent. Aside from these issues this is a fantastic base for a family holiday. Hide

It's a lovely house which we have been to many times before. Re equipment, we could not find a dustpan and brush or a clothes drying rack. Also the small fridge in the kitchen did not shut very well.
