4/4/08 Julia and Glen (& Alfie), London
Always good to be first at something…so here we go..!! Dai and Heather were friendly, humerous and very welcoming. if you ever need anything!! just give them a knock. The compact warmly feeling cottage was ideal for our needs…”best not let your into too many secrets”. There’s everything you need and more. It felt like home from home…”but the cleaner lives next door”. I hit the surf at Caswell Beach for several days so didn’t do much sight seeing BUT!! We will be back probably in more ways than one. We are considering moving to S Wales after this amazing stay. All I can say is Good Luck to Dai and Heather may they prosper. Cheers guys you were a pleasure to live next door to…!! Love Julia and Glen (& Alfie), London, 2008. xx
12/4/08 Chris, Margaret, & Helena (Bramley nr. Reading).
What a lovely place Gower is! Dai and Heather were very helpful and Wagtails is a nice little apartment, well equipped. Helena (15 mths) enjoyed …scoffing ice-cream in Verdi’s (Mumbles). Toddling around Weobley Castle. Seeing all the animals and saying “Baa” to the lambs at the Gower Heritage Centre. Playing with her bucket and spade at Oxwich Bay. Mummy and Daddy enjoyed..walking to see Worms Head at Rhossili (fine with a pushchair). Rockpooling at Oxwich Bay (Starfish!). A lovely meal at the Britannia Inn. Walking at the sands at Rhossili Bay (from Hillend car park near Llangennith it’s fairly easy to get onto the bay). The super toys and gifts at the heritage centre craft shop. Hope you have a super time too!” Chris, Margaret, & Helena (Bramley nr reading).
20/4/08 Pip and Mick – Eccles, Salford.
Lovely week on the gower with blue skies despite the weather forecasts. We’d recommend (1) WALKING OVER Rhossili Downs to Worms Head and Sitting on the restaurant of the works head hotel watching the sun going down over the bay. (2) saying hello to the animals at the Gower Heritage Centre pettng farm; (3) cycling round the lanes – easier with the wind behind you than cycling into the wind. (4) walking through the (Cwm Ivy) woods and onto the beach towards the (Whiteford) lighthouse. Pip and Mick

We have been very pleasantly surprised at the whole aspect of our stay here. From the natural friendliness of everyone, particularly Dai and Heather of course! It has been a short stay more a fact finding than anything but it goes without saying it has been outstanding in every way. From the welcome we received the feeling of “coming home” every afternoon after a hard walk, the realisation that everything is to hand, with a really excellent local community shop providing all needs, s well as entertainment! We tried surfing which is a must if you feel brave enough. 01792 386426. The local footpaths to Whiteford beach are a must also, in fact you are surrounded by places to see and experience. We feel totally relaxed as we depart back hoe. But if it is a place never to be forgotten! We hope to be back in future. Laurence and Vanessa.
3/5/08 – Debbie And Nick, Hannah & Freya (And Millie) Gibson, Nailsworth, Gloucs.
Both the Wagtails and Gower has everything you need & more. There were plenty of gorgeous walks for Mille, the dog, and good surfing for our two girls, 10 & 8. Our stay was sadly short & wish it could be longer. Dai and Heather were extremely hospitable & have thought of everything! They have provided a very comprehensive guide of things to do and see, use it. Wagtails may be small but it provided us with everything we could have wished for – we will be back as there is so much more we haven’t seen.
15/5/08 – Lyndsey and Greg, Bassenthwaite, Cumbria
We have had a really enjoyable week here at Wagtails. The weather has been fantastic allowing us to explore the Gower fully! As this was our daughters first holiday (6 mths old) we were not sure how she (and we) would cope! Heather and Dai could not have been more accommodating and understanding during our stay. Wagtails is compact and bijou - but it ws more than enough for a 6 mth old baby (and all her baggage!), a new mum and dad and two smelly, friendly sandy Labradors!! Thanks for a very memorable holiday Greg, Lyndsey & Rosa (Nell and Harvey). P.s. Dai is happy to fix anything - anytime of the day!!
20/5/08 Nancy and Geoff, Milton under Wychwood, North Oxfordshire.
(Sorry I’ve missed two pages out of this lovely new visitor’s book). Only three days but we have really enjoyed our first (but surely not last) visit to Wagtails. The apartment is delightful and very tastefully and well equipped and the local area has been well explored by us on foot. We wanted to walk and relax and that is exactly what we have done. It has been a lovely place to have a choice of stting out areas and we enjoyed our first evening in the garden. During our stay we have felt that Dai and Heather were available yet unobtrusive. We were advised to sample the Britannia’s Hake and Chips and were not disappointed. The weather has been sunny and warm but rain this evening – a lovely rainbow though! Here’s to our next visit – thanks Dai and Heather we have loved it. Nancy and Geoff, Milton under Wychwood, Chipping Norton, North Oxfordshire.
31/5/08 Jill and Brian (Millsons Wood, Coventry)
Friendly people, nice cottage, lovely views, appalling weather (not Dai's fault) had a nice relaxing time. Beaches are great, Pembrey County Park is superb for dogs & kids (fried or boiled) and Llanmadoc Hill is a must for great views.
Hope to see you again soon, Best wishes, Jill, Brian and Pip the Pup.
14/6/08 Helen and David, Chelmsford, Essex
Many thanks for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Gower lived up to its expectations and we had fine weather. Best wishes Helen and David.
21/6/08 Judith and Ian T., Bletchingly, Surrey
We have been made very welcome at Wagtails and have enjoyed a relaxing stay here. The scenrey and beaches are second to none, although we can't quite say the same for the weather! We particularly enjoyed meals at the Welcome to Town and Castellamare at Bracelet Bay (Mumbles) and we shall miss Joe's Ice Cream! Gower Beaches are beautiful and the scenery here is great but we also enjoyed our venture further afield to Brecon Beacons. A truly great holiday -
Many thanks, Judith and Ian.
28/6/08 Barbera and Tony (Bollingham, Cheshire)
We've had a wonderful week in this lovely little cottage, very comfortable and warm to come home to when cool winds were blowing. The weather has been pretty good, we only needed waterproofs once. The walks are great around here especially the walk from Llanmadoc to Llangennith with a visit to the Kings Head to sample the local brew then back again via Bulwork on the top of Llanmadoc Hill with the wonderful views all around. The people in this area are very friendly especially our hosts Dai and Heather. The garden, is a lovely sitting area. The local shop is well worth a visit for the lovely homemade bread and cakes plus local chit chat. Thanks for a wonderful experience, Barbera and Tony. |
