Beautiful accommodation in a lovely rural area very peaceful. The barn was very well equipped and plenty of room with lots of little extras to make your stay comfortable. The welcome package was a lovely touch. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back. Lots of places to visit nearby. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner.

The description of this property does not do it justice.. The conversion has been done to give a very spacious and well set out layout .The owners Brian and Dawn made us feel very welcome with a visit on the first evening to make sure we had everything we needed and a farewell visit on the final morning.They could not be more friendly and helpful.We will definitely be returning to this countryside property as the week flew by and we still have more to see.Thank you .

Our family of 8 stayed in both properties on this site for a long weekend to attend a christening locally. We had a wonderful time the barn conversion is lovely and has everything plus that you could possibly need. We hosted a drinks and nibbles party on the Saturday night for 12 adults and there were more than enough glasses, plates etc and parking! We all loved our stay, there was a warm welcome from the owners and a lovely welcome basket in each property. We hope to be back!

We decided at the last moment to visit Wales. So only booked this on the Tuesday before we travelled on the Friday. We could not have chosen any better. This place is absolutely beautiful. Every thing you could possibly need is here. The rooms are so spacious, and set out so lovingly. The kitchen is great, with every item you could possibly need. If I could rate this more than 5* I would. Visited with my wife, daughter and three grandsons. Aged 19,15,11 and they absolutely loved it. We will be back

Mrs Harrison

August 2018

We stayed at Ysgubor Hir, Llanedi (24-31 August) and thoroughly enjoyed our week.. The property was spotless, warm and cosy and beautiful! Dawn, the owner, was friendly and introduced herself straight away. Nothing was too much trouble and she even left milk and and goodies for when we arrived. A real home from home. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Mr Palmer

August 2018

On arrival following a long journey Dawn the owner made us very welcome with fresh flowers , Fresh Fruit and briefing on the venue facilities.. Giving a mobile contact number was also very helpful. This is our second stay at the converted barn, we again found it to be outstanding in quality and ideally situated for accessing the local attractions. The personal touch by the owner makes all the difference including a visit on the last day with an honest request for genuine feedback, others should follow this example . Ann, Carol & Ivan Palmer

This is my 4th time here... I always get excited about my stay here its peaceful quite clean and gives you a home from home feeling. It's close enough to the M4 but still in the middle of such beautiful countryside. I'm planning another few trips here this year you really won't be disappointed 5 star accommodation. The owners are always welcoming and always leave you a goodie basket which is always appreciated. There's so much in Wales to do you will be spoilt for choice. But this is one place you really don't want to miss out on.

Miss Dyas

May 2018

We very much enjoyed our week in this lovely comfortable cottage.. It is set in a beautiful and extremely quiet location and easily located just off the motorway, but only a short drive to the coastal areas of Llaneli, Burry Port and the Gower. The cottage was lovely and spacious and the facilities were excellent. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The weather was far warmer than we had expected and so we were able to sit outside in the garden and enjoy a drink. I would definitely recommend this cottage.

May 2018

Ysgubor Hir is one of the best holiday cottages I've stayed in.. This was my 3rd visit and am planning another stay. The owner are great nothing is too much trouble always on hand if you need them. It's warm and comfortable clean with plenty of room. This property is also very easy to find just off of the M4. It truly is home from home. I love going and hate leaving. 5 star accommodation. Be seeing you again very soon.

Mrs Glennie

March 2018

What a beautiful cottage.. There were six adults and one toddler staying in the cottage which still gave us plenty of room. Everything was clean and the facilities were excellent. The owner was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be renting this cottage again. I can’t recommend it enough.

Mr Stephenson

February 2018

Second time we have booked this cottage.. Very clean and tidy and hosts are very handy if needed. Nicely situated for exploring the countryside and cities nearby. Well worth the money and possibly may book again sometime later.

Mrs O'donnell

Mr Rowe

December 2017

My family have just returned from a wonderful week away at this property over the Christmas period.. The barn was lovely, as was the reception received from Dawn and Brian upon arrival. The property had been decorated for Christmas beautifully which we all appreciated. It was lovely and warm, very spacious and we instantly felt welcome and at home. The location is great for getting out and exploring the surrounding area as it is so close to the end of the M4, yet surrounded by fields and countryside. The barn was fully equipped with anything that we needed during our stay and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much Dawn and Brian for those extra touches that made all the difference. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We rate this cottage 5 stars. My daughters, boyfriends & I come away each year to celebrate Xmas early & have yet to come across such a beautiful cottage to spend our special weekend away. The pub was 15 / 20 minute walk away, the cottage was warm with heated flooring, spacious, clean, well lit & just utterly perfect. Will 100% be returning here what a lovely place.

This barn can not be bettered. It is warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean, spacious, and well equipped. The owners are delightful and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly without being intrusive. We love the welcome basket and flowers. This was our second visit and we are sure to return.

This beautiful cottage far exceeds all expectations. It simply has this wow factor about it. Beautiful countryside yet close to the M4. You couldnt wish for a more warm clean home from home feeling. The owners Dawn and Brian are fantastic nothing is too much trouble. This is my 4th visit to Wales this year my 2nd visit to Ysgubor Hir. The next day after returning home i had already booked another week here in March next year. I highly recommend this cottage you will definitely not be disappointed. 5 star accommodation.

My wife and I , together with another couple, have holidayed in many places in the UK for the last 25 years. This place is one of the best , if not the best, we have stayed in on a purely accommodation level. Couldn't fault the place and Dawn was lovely as well. Enough said....

Guest

October 2016

We've stayed in a lot of self catering cottages but this is definitely the best to-date. Thank you Dawn for providing all the home-from-home touches. The kitchen contained all the condiments, foil, cling film etc you could want. Bedding, towels, soap and toilet paper all provided. Not only that but Dawn left us a welcome basket of chocolates, drinks and welsh cakes. When we arrived dawn came to welcome us and again to say goodbye. Nice personal touches. Thanks.

Graham S

October 2016

We stayed in 4 rental cottages over the month we were in England/Wales and this was by far the best we encountered (and not the most expensive) It was like living in a fully furnished house, with everything included (including soap which was missing in all others). The attention to detail with the conversion was obvious as was the personal touch that Dawn has put into the property. A lovely welcome basket greeted us. If you are looking for a place to stay around the Swansea area, don't go past this one. ITS A BEAUT

Mrs Gardner

August 2016

The quality of this barn conversion was staggering. Exceptional build quality and standard of furnishing. Lots of tasteful touches and everything needed was provided. I've never before had the pleasure of cooking in a kitchen like that!

Mr Hodsdon

July 2016

Ysgubor Hir was superb. It was extremely relaxing and quiet. Everything about the accommodation was of very high quality. The location was ideal for exploring the area being about 40-45 minutes from the Mumbles and about 30 minutes from the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. The owners were very helpful and friendly during our stay giving advice on places to visit. We hope to stay again in the future.

Mr Parker

July 2016

Ysgubor Hir is a beautiful house in a great location. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Ms Moorhouse

A very peaceful location but with easy transport links for exploring the area. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the property and the high standard of décor and furnishings. The owner was friendly and welcoming and on hand the first evening to answer any questions.

Mrs Andrews

June 2016

A really nice barn conversion that is very well equipped throughout. The sizeable open plan kitchen/dining room makes it a very sociable space to enjoy time with family or friends. The bedrooms we found were very comfortable and the sun-trap of a patio and garden was splendid to enjoy the lovely sunny week we had. The owner has put a lot of thought in to the cottage and was very welcoming.

Mr Harris

May 2016

A lovely cottage finished to a high standard and furnished to a similar standard. Highly recommended.

Mrs Atkinson

The cottage was beautifully furnished and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need. There was a great selection of games for the children and lots of leaflets with ideas of local attractions. Having wifi was great and the underfloor heating was lovely. Very peaceful location but close enough to amenities. The owner was lovely and very helpful, but not at all intrusive. Overall a wonderful stay in a beautifully kept property. Thank you.

Mrs Locke

October 2015

The holiday cottage was superb in every way, a real home from home. Such a lovely place to return to after days out visiting the area. The location was excellent as it felt like you were in the middle of nowhere with fields all around, yet in fact we were close to all amenities. We would highly recommend this property.

Mrs Pratten

September 2015

The barn conversion is absolutely gorgeous, so much more than a holiday let, it really feels like a home. It is perfectly located for exploring either Pembrokeshire to the west or the Gower to the east - and the coast in this area is spectacular. At the end of each day it was lovely to return to the cosy calm of Ysgubor Hir. Highly recommended, we would very much like to revisit.

Mrs Waterhouse

August 2015

Mr Blanchard

Mrs Coton

An excellent property in a wonderful location, and we were made to feel very welcome by the owner. The cottage felt like home from home and we would highly recommend it to everyone.

Mrs Allen

June 2015

The location of the cottage was perfect. Very spacious cottage and gardens, 6 people stayed but we never felt cramped and like we were on top of each other. The kitchen was fantastic; well equipped and allowed us to cook each day with ease and no need to eat out. The outside was perfect with ample room for parking, and the children had plenty of space to play football, swing ball and with the toys provided by the owner of the cottage. The views were fantastic, looking out at the mountains and fields of cows. This cottage was the ideal getaway and although we went out every day you could quite easily stay in with the lovely views, games, DVDs and books left. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anybody wanting to stay near Swansea, and if we want to return to Wales this would be the cottage we would choose.

Mr Beardsley

June 2015

The owner was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We have stayed in many holiday cottages over many years and this one was undoubtedly the best. Everything one could want was there with many unexpected extras, especially in the kitchen. We loved the peaceful location.

5 star property and 5 star host. In a very nice part of the UK with lots to see and do.

Mr Overy

January 2015

This property is far better than the brochure would have you believe. The sitting room and kitchen are a lot bigger than they appear in the brochure. Had very efficient under floor heating. The best one we have ever stayed at.

Mrs Stephenson

August 2014

The property was modern and homely. The owner had gone over and above what was expected. The barn was in a lovely location and was ideally placed to tour South Wales.

Mr Pearce

July 2014

The property was bigger than expected and we particularly liked the extra touches. Mrs Richards was very solicitous, friendly and helpful.

Mrs Bolton

June 2014

This accommodation should be 5 star, it's in a great location close to the m4 motorway, pubs and shops and is also on a bus route. The facilities were just great, we had a BBQ for my welsh family, 19 in total, and there was enough room for us all without feeling cramped. Cooking was easy, it had everything you could wish for, it was a home from home. We will book again when we return to Wales, wouldn't go anywhere else now we have stayed here.

Mr Stuckey

June 2014

The cottage was well furnished, tastefully decorated, clean and very relaxing. In a quiet position with a very large parking area. Certainly worth a visit.

Mrs Sergeant

April 2014

The property was spacious and warm. Plenty of parking space. Location was nice and quiet but convenient for getting to places of interest and to local shops in Pontarddulais. The property was particularly convenient for us as we were also visiting friends in nearby Ty Croes. Hope to return soon.

Mr Jones

March 2014

We liked the fact that the cottage was secluded and on its own, but close enough to the beaten track.

Ms Jones

December 2013

The cottage was to a very good standard. It is was very peaceful, but central to motorway if you wanted to go anywhere.

Louise313

November 2013

My husband and I spent a week here, accompanied by my cousin. We hosted a family and friends reunion (five people) here one afternoon, and the cottage was large, nicely furnished, and had a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for our special event. Dawn, the owner, could not have been nicer and more helpful. Things that mattered especially to us besides the obvious: good wi-fi, heated floors, good insulation, meaning that this cottage would be comfy even on the coldest days. Be sure to get good directions. It is not far off the M4 but is tucked away a bit.

Mr Williams

October 2013

Cottage and warm welcome were fantastic. Very comfortable and well equipped.

Mr Pike

August 2013

This was a fabulous cottage. The cottage was spotless, and had everything we could wanted, it was home from home, what more can you ask for. We almost wished for a wet day so we could stay in, but we were fortunate and had gorgeous weather. We will certainly return.

Mrs Thomas

August 2013

The cottage was very recently refurbished into a holiday home, and this had been done to the very highest standard. It was well located to be able to visit Carmarthenshire attractions.

Mrs Axtell

August 2013

The warm welcome from the owner, with a tour of the property, including local information. Was fantastic. The property is beautifully presented with a thoughtful welcome basket.

Mr Patterson

July 2013

My family and I loved our stay at this cottage, it was really comfortable, very well equipped, and was in an ideal position for everything that we wanted to visit in this beautiful area. The house is very well presented, and the surrounding area, made for a wonderfully relaxing holiday. Our kids thought this was their best holiday ever

Mr Brough

June 2013

Ysgubor Hir was chosen because of its convenient locality to our needs of touring the Gower and Beacon areas and we were not disappointed in any way. The high spec of the property made it a delight to share with our friends and helped make our stay a wonderful experience. The owner made us feel very welcome and her little extra touches were appreciated.

Mrs Phillips

June 2013

Our holiday accommodation was spacious, well equipped and situated in a lovely part of the country, ideal for the areas around Llanelli, Swansea and the Gower. The owners were nice friendly people. We enjoyed the the welcome basket and cakes. We should like to think we would use this facility again should our health allow.

Mrs Rudman

June 2013

Very well situated - just off M4. Convenient for Swansea, the Mumbles, Gower Peninsula etc. Beautiful scenery. A must is a visit to Laugharne, Dylan Thomas home/inspiration. Pub within walking distance and has very good dining offers. Wonderful welcome at the cottage from Dawn. Superbly equipped cottage. Welcome pack a real bonus.

January 2013

We stayed here over the New year period. The cottage has recently been completed and was therefore in excellent condition. The owners have finished the renovation to a high standard, whilst retaining traditional cottage features. Most of the cottage is on one level (with only a couple of steps), so was great for letting the children run free. The owners met us personally on our arrival and left a lovely hamper for us filled with locally sourced produce, which was a really nice touch. We would love to stay here again and would recommend it to friends.
