Not what we expected
Older cottage. No heat except for wood-burning stove, which is no good for people with respiratory conditions. Electric blanket on bed is nice. Only has washer, no dryer...must hang in sheep pasture (watch where you walk). Lots of millipedes invaded. Beautiful grounds; well kept. Lots of flowers and fruit trees. No wi-fi. Supposedly free in town...never found it. Very quiet.

High price, low value
The website looks amazing, but this is right on the highway -nowhere to walk. We never saw a real person and there was no internet. It was difficult to make plans.

Short stay at Swansea
Very vintage cottage. Many new/ well maintained furnitures and appliances are in the house. Awesome collection of DVDs as well. However, probably due to the age of the apartment, some tiny worms can be found on the floor. Bathtub is one of the best highlights.

Cute little cottage
Lovely little cottage. Nice for a romantic weekend. We found it a bit too far from the town center, 30 min walk. However if you didn't enjoy the wineries as much as us and could drive that'd be fine.
