Spent a lovely relaxing weekend here. The Cabin itself is really comfy, great facilities and an amazing location. First time in Wales, definitely coming back, but for longer next time. The views and peace and quiet are second to none - stunning. Definitely the place to go for a perfect relaxing break. Thanks for having us

The Cabin is located in the middle of some fields and quiet farm land with stunning views. The owner's house is the only thing near by but far enough to still be very private. The building itself if very clean, warm, cosy and very well equipt with an excellent kitchen, relaxing lounge, large shower room and comfortable bed. The hot tub is amazing! It is a short drive (around half an hour) to the coast with some nice beaches (including Bracelt Bay which is a great spot for rock-pooling) and resturants. The owners were very polite and helpful. It is an ideal short break location!

Booked this cottage as a birthday present for my husband and I can honestly say that it did not disappoint.. The cottage is a beautiful place to stay with amazing views of the country side. The hosts were amazing and provided everything you could need. The hot tub is a wonderful addition. The whole weekend was truly amazing and would definitely recommend this cottage

We had a warm welcome from the owner....making us feel relaxed. There is a welcome pack with info for during your stay, plus a few basics to help such as tea/coffee, wash cloth etc. The lodge now has a fence put up for further privacy and a gate in front of the entrance to the hot tub, great for those with dogs of smaller children for safety. We had a wet week...but it was actually lovely to sit in the hot tub in the rain, and relaxing to hear the rain on the roof. We were never disturbed by the owner, but knew they were on hand! The lodge is beautifully decorated and u feel at home straight away. Phone reception not good, but the lodge has wifi. this is a perfect romantic retreat!

The cabin was amazing in a beautiful setting and although the host couldn’t do enough we were left alone as we liked.. Would definitely recommend this to others!

Booked this as a birthday present for my boyfriend, and although we had absolutely horrific weather, there was nothing better than coming back to this toasty, inviting cabin! I was surprised to find how high spec everything is! From the beautiful kitchen sink to the super comfy bed and bedding, everything was above and beyond perfect. I really hope to re-visit this quirky little piece of heaven in summer and get some use of the hot tub. Thank you so much!

We have been with Sykes several times and one thing we felt was missing from The Cabin was a welcome pack.. We had travelled a long way and it would have been nice to make ourselves a drink and a biscuit. We have had amazing welcome packs in the past but there was nothing at The Cabin apart from sugar and a tiny bit of tea and coffee. Apart from this we had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back.

Absouletly stunning property. Views and hot tub are incredible. The property has everything you'd need. Very secluded and relaxing to get away from it all.

We loved this place, we stayed for 3 nights for a relaxing couples break. The cabin was cosy and warm, and had all the facilities we needed. We definitely want to come back soon.

The cabin is fantastic.. Already recommended to family and friends and definetely considering returning during summer. The owners of the property have thought of everything to make it homely and everything you'd need already there for you. WiFi was nice and speedy, extra cables for connecting your own devices, plenty of sockets, board games, music Dock, even left a bottle of milk in the fridge for us (even though we'd brought our own). The view and the hot tub are definetely the outstanding features though.

We stayed at The Cabin for 1 week (18th-25th Jan), and it certainly did not disappoint! The host’s was lovely, and couldn’t do enough for you. The views form the hot tub was to die for. Everything you could need and more was at The Cabin. Easily accessible to Swansea and surrounding areas. Would certainly recommend to all (you will not be disappointed), and we are looking to book again for next year

I booked the the cabin to take my girlfriend away for a couple of days of relaxation, and we got just that and more.. The cabin was lovely and well furnished, enjoyed spending time in the hot tub and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend.

Sykes cottages were very helpful and informative.. The owners at the cabin were also very helpful and offered lots of info to ensure we got there safely from the town centre. The cabin was beautifully located and had everything we needed, we will be returning. Highly recommend both.

The Cabin was a delight.. It felt luxurious, well equipped, and in a beautiful place. We loved it, especially the hot tub.

The cabin was a lovely rural location and we received a warm welcome.. Unfortunately there were dogs on a neighbouring farm that barked all night every night we were there, which interrupted our sleep. The facilities were good except shower was low pressured which let it down. We left at 10am as requested but there was no one around to say good bye too which was a shame. We enjoyed the stay and was a lovely location if a little dark on the drive down into the farm.

Stunningly beautiful cabin.. Exceptionally well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more even including bath robes, slippers and fluffy towels. Great communication from owners, will definitely be returning

The Cabin was everything we expected and hoped for.. It was beautifully clean, well equipped, the heating was easy to control, hot water was plentiful, shower was good, nice high spec TV. No mobile signal, we didn't expect one, wi-fi signal was great.

The cabin was absolutely amazing, the view and cabin itself were stunning, it was cleaned to an extremely high standard, had everything you could possibly need, the lovely people provided some basic supplies on arrival, the whole experience exceeded all of our expectations and we had an amazing holiday! ! We loved everything about the cabin, our lovely hosts, the location, layout, facilities, everything was absolutely perfect! We will definitely be making another booking to stay here again and we would 100% recommend this cabin for a perfect holiday

From the contact before we arrived, clear directions, friendly greeting to the attention to every detail in the cabin, our expectations were surpassed! Privacy but support if you wanted it. A gem of a find which allowed us to unwind and enjoy time as a family. Well done and thank you so much.

We have just had a wonderful short break at the cabin.. The photos do not do it justice, a very tranquil place overlooking fields and hills all you can hear are horses and sheep. Very secluded with no intrusion from the owners. Would definitely recommend and will definitely 're book.

This is a wonderful cabin set in amongst the countryside - a very remote and peaceful location making it easy to relax.. After busy days exploring the neighbouring towns and beaches, the hot tub provided a great way to end the day looking over at the sunset. Everything had been thought of and the hosts were always on hand if we needed any help. Will definitely be returning in the future!

The extremely remote location on the side of the mountain plus the view was was a rewarding bonus, being remote but only 5 minutes from the nearest town, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful, the facility itself (THE CABIN) was exceptionally well presented we will be returning ☺..

What a wonderful idyllic hideaway nestled in the beautiful hills around Pontardawe.. The cabin is immaculate in all respects and furnished to a very high standard. The views are second to none. Approximately 4 miles away is a huge Lidl which has everything you could possibly want. The hosts are super and friendly and very welcoming. I would certainly recommend this Log Cabin to anyone looking for a totally relaxing break.
Mr Hill

The cabin was luxurious, much more than we expected.. everything was perfect. everything was top notch and of a very high standard. The views over the valley and night sky's are to die for, we were sad to leave and cannot wait to go back!! Absolutely peaceful location where you could hear a pin drop, well in between the sheep and horses. The owners could not do more to make this a perfect place to stay.

Such beautiful decor and furnishings throughout and the surroundings are really tranquil.. The views from the hot tub are amazing an so nice to watch the sunset. Safe and secure for the dog as fully enclosed outside. We enjoyed a trip to the nearby Mumbles Pier which was a great day out. It would be a real pleasure to come back and stay at The Cabin. Thank you Michaela for making us so welcome

Beautiful cabin with stunning views and everything you could possibly need! Hot tub was a great extra! Especially great that dogs can come along too. Window in the bedroom a is a great extra touch and meant the views could be appreciated from every where. Hosts were lovely and very helpful ☺️ Brilliantly located for either peaceful walks within the National Park or visiting South Wales. A great find for a relaxing weekend away, Hope to come again soon x
