Buzzards Watch Reviews

Broken furniture, my partner sat on a chair and it nearly gave way. Kitchen looks tired and a little dirty, definitely needs some TLC. Very firm mattress in the room we used, couldn't use the other room due to the sonic mole repellent being used outside. One of the properties was being used as a long term let so we had children running around and cycling outside the property near our car.
Elizabeth
Beautiful, quaint cottage in an idyllic setting. Cottage had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds. Llandeilo is about a 15 minute drive. Gower beaches, surely some of the best in the UK if not the world, are drivable. All in all, a super holiday.
Philip
Really enjoyable stay and we had everything that we needed
Howard
Second stay at Buzzards Watch. Some great little upgrades with new TV and book case unit. New pans and kitchen equipment. Its a great place to stay. Reliable internet and the TV allows you to access range of apps for streaming. The open fire is fantastic and the wood provided is a lovely gesture as is the Bara Brith. The beds are super comfy and well appointed and the central heating keeps the place warm though its always nice having the fire going in the evening. Will certainly be back.
Malcolm
Very nice and peacfull
Howard
The cottage is situated in a beautiful area with walks close by and the stunning view of the ruined abbey when you step outside the door. Inside it is warm and well decorated and the open fire was fantastic. The Christmas tree was a nice bonus and loved it. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of pillows and well appointed. The blackout blinds meant it stayed dark so had a good nights sleep everytime. Was easy to find as well signed on the approach road. Pet friendly and was able to take my dog along and because of where it is lots of great places to take him for a walk just outside the front door. I plan to return next year.
