Efail Y Garn0

Efail Y Garn enjoys spectacular panoramic views in a quiet location and is ideally situated for visits to the impressive National Botanic garden, walking, challenging cycling or the sandy beaches of the Gower which are further afield. Richard is staggering fit and Rachel simply staggering. The two dogs Ivy and Reggie were equally welcoming. Ivy is a cutie and Reggie soon became my regular tennis partner. The hosts provide more than I have experienced at any other B&B. Guests enjoy total freedom albeit in the specifically dedicated sitting room complete with vinyl records and wood burner, or when they can raid the fridge and food supplies. I felt more at home there than I do here.

I found the wardrobe a little cramped to watch TV!

Our Hosts Richard and Rachael were fantastic and gave us and all their guests open access to all but their on private rooms. Their home is beautifully rustic and pituresque views.

For us the location was the original factor in booking our stay as we believed it was only 8 to 10 minutes from our family in Pontarddualis, but we did not realise how very narrow the road (lane) was and therefore we drove 30 to 35 minutes via and alternate route. None of this was our hosts fault, we did not do our research as well as we should have, and Richard was fantastic in coming with us the 1st time to make sure we did not get lost.

The room was very comfortable. Rachael and Rich were excellent host's. Location was very good for us .

Firstly we would like to say a massive thank you to Richard & Rachael for the most wonderful weekend, it was very special and you don’t get many of those. The check in was very easy and every thing was clearly explained. There is a safe and hairdryer in the wardrobe so no need to pack one. Breakfast is superb, everything you could ask for and more. Fresh berries for me, sausage, bacon & freshly laid eggs by Rachael’s free roaming chickens, for my husband. The views from the house are stunning and you really wouldn’t need to go anywhere else, if you wanted to sit and read a good book and just take some time out. However, there are so many beautiful places to visit and we did some fantastic walks, along deserted beaches and up some very steep hills. There really is something for every level. Richard will happily advise you on places to visit. You are close to the Gower Peninsula and the spectacular beaches of Rhossili & Broughton Bay and the lovely seaside town of Mumbles. This is a brilliant area for cycling and next time, and there will definitely be a next time, the bikes will come too.

I wish we had booked for longer.

One of the best b&bs we have ever stayed in! Every single room is tastefully and creatively decorated down to the smallest detail, all colour-coordinated. Lots of communal spaces, especially a living room for guests with a cosy fireplace and a gorgeous garden with two playful dogs. Rachel and Richard take perfect care of their guests, extremely nice, easy-going and always in a good mood. We had a fantastic time together and are sure we haven't seen the last of them.

we liked everything.

Excellent location with stunning countrysude views. Our host Rachel made us feel completely at home and was exceptionally accommodating. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend, with an evening in front of the fire, in this charming property. Kitchen and dining area for use by guests. Def a stay in evening, meal and wine then nestle in front of real log fire. The evening sunsets on the horizon are amazing. Help yourself to breakfast the following morning with freshly laid eggs from the chickens they keep. The host provides all you need and more. The most welcoming of places we have stayed.

Nothing to dislike.

Rich and Rach were so thoughtful and welcoming and friendly , lighting the fire for us when we got back from a day sight seeing so it was nice and cosy... they have a clean cosy welcoming home..and just because of who they are make you right at home.. They had a selection of things in the fridge and cupboard to be able to make yourself breakfast and were so helpful and kind showing us the best places to go, in the evening Richard let us listen to his vinyls on the record player while we snuggled in front of the fire ... This is a place you would always want to visit again you may get awoken by the over chirpy cockral cock a doodle doing but you'll get the best night's sleep and the views from the house are amazing.. This has been a relaxing, fun, warm welcoming time away for us all thanks to the lovely Richard and Rachel their two dogs and the beautiful Efail Y Garn thank you

Maybe the cockral in the morning but then if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have had the delicious fresh eggs so it's swings and round abouts

The stay was excellent, beautiful location with beautiful views. Welcoming reception by friendly couple. We had a great experience making our own breakfast in a beautiful, cozy kitchen. And they have 2 cute dogs. We wouldn't have wanted to miss it. Compliments for the beautiful furnishings and the cosiness in the living room. 

Nothing, it was excellent. Wish them all the luck for the future at that beautiful location.

I was made incredibly welcome by Rachel and Richard from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. The accommodation is gorgeous, cosy and comfortable, and having access to the lounge was such a bonus. I also really appreciated the generous and luxurious products available to use, especially the wonderful fire and fresh chicken's eggs for breakfast! I would highly recommend a stay at Efail Y Garn.

No complaints; I can't wait to book another stay!

The property was very clean, welcoming and located in a lovely quiet+safe spot out in the Swansea country side. Rachel was an amazing host, she made sure we had everything we needed and provided food and drinks (coffees, teas, juices) for us. The bedroom was very clean, spacious and comfortable to sleep in with our own bathroom right next to our room. The whole place was wonderful and had amazing decor everywhere. Would definitely stay again.
