Fabulous cottage.
My husband and I (and our small dog) have just enjoyed a wonderful holiday. The cottage is situated in a lovely peaceful location, perfect for exploring coast and countryside.

New Year getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Berry Hall cottage. It provided us with the rural retreat that we needed. The cottage is lovely. The living space is a bit small so two couples might find the set-up a little cosy. For a couple, the accommodation was perfect. The bedroom is lovely and the fact there is both an ensuite and a family bathroom was a real boon. The kitchen was well-equipped with a very good oven, along with a fridge-freezer and a microwave.Mark and Wendy were on hand if we needed anything and were the perfect hosts.The area has lots of wonderful areas for walking and there are some great pubs and cafes around. Options for shopping are a bit limited so it would be as well to bring your own supplies if fully self-catering.

Pretty cottage, in a perfect location, with lovely owners
We loved our week-long stay at Wendy and Mark's cottage in Scurlage. The location is perfect for all the beaches (Port Eynon is less than a five min car journey away), and the cottage itself is really homely, very clean and full of character. Wendy and Mark are also really kind and helpful, and made our stay very comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Cosy cottage in a great spot for exploring south Gower
A lovely warm cottage with everything you could possibly need. Comfy sofas and beds, well equipped kitchen with plenty of cutlery, crockery and glasses. Enclosed, dog friendly yard. Wendy was very welcoming. Lots of great walks straight from the door, handy for all the delightful beaches. Very rural location but local shop less than a mile. Would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in your lovely cottage. The log burner was a real bonus! Very convenient for visiting the beautiful Rhosili and Port Eynon. The weather wasn't great but we still enjoyed the location. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal at The King Arthur Hotel and a tasty breakfast at the garden centre, just up the road. Many thanks

Lovely cottage in a beautiful area
The cottage was very clean and well equipped with thoughtful and helpful hosts. It is in a pleasant quiet location just a short drive from local ameneties and well situated for key visitor spots. The WiFi was excellent, the kitchen has everything one could need with the bonus of a dishwasher and washing machine (tablets and powder supplied) and the beds are my most comfortable. The owners really have put a lot of thought into everything you might need here, including leaving tea, coffee, milk and fresh eggs! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you Wendy and Mark!

Lovely Welsh Cottage
Lovely property. Nice secluded outside space. Rural setting on a lane with a few other private properties and farm. Everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Bedrooms were spacious and having one en-suite and another separate bathroom made it feel very luxurious. The cottage is only a 10 minute drive to a beautiful beach and coastal walks. Directions for local inland walks were in the information book compiled by the owners. I feel a return visit coming on.

Wonderful break from the city
The cottage was fantastic. We had complete privacy but Mark and Wendy were easy to contact and attentive hosts, even providing a makeshift sheet for the travel cot since I forgot to pack one. The safety gates for the stairs was an invaluable extra touch, especially given the clambering baby we had in tow. We had never been to Gower before and would love to visit again, it's a lovely little corner of Wales. The location couldn't be better. You can drive to Rhossili and other beaches in about 10 minutes, even pop over to Swansea in half an hour if you want. Would definitely recommend.

Comfortable & within easy reach of everything.
We travelled as two couples and had a lovely four nights at Berry Hall. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The bedrooms are very nice and of good proportions. The main bathroom is splendid with plenty of hot water. Wendy, the owner is very welcoming and helpful, very much the kind of neighbour we would all like to have. The cottage is set inland, but only an easy ten minute drive from Rossili Beach, which is an amazing place to watch the sun go down. Most places on the Gower are easily accessible from the cottage. It is ideal if you want a quiet stay. Parking for two cars is a bonus. All in all a nice property to stay in.

Lovely cottage
Berry Hall cottage is a beautiful place to stay. The little gardens are nice and private and secure enough to let our little dog wander around. Inside is a little gem. Fully equipped kitchen, just like being at home. Everything was spotlessly clean and well looked after. The bedrooms are a nice size with plenty of cupboard space. Beds were very comfy and a good size. The bathroom is big and the bath is what you call a proper size bath! The Gower has some beautiful beaches and this cottage is a perfect base to explore. It is a rural area but only a 5-10 minute drive to the nearest beach. It was lovely to meet Wendy and Mark who are at hand if you need anything. The eggs and milk that greeted us on arrival was a nice gesture. Thank you for such a lovely place to stay.

A peaceful rural cottage.
Had a good week at Berry Hall Cottage. Rural location short drive to some lovely beaches , Port Eynon & Rhossilli. We found the cottage to be comfortable & spotlessly clean. The only comment that I would make is that the downstairs living room/kitchen area was a little cramped for 4 adults & 2 dogs. This would not have been an issue if the weather had been kinder to us.

Lovely cottage in a good location to explore the south coast of Wales
Cottage was lovely with lots of space upstairs. The bedrooms were fantastic especially for two couples or friends. Outside areas were slightly spoilt by neighbours but you are on farmyard land. Did have a big tractor outside the bedroom windows one day. Shame about the rules of the wood burner, I would like that you could use at anytime of the year depending on the temperature rather than the month. Would have appreciated the cottage heating on for our arrival. Very comfortable beds and good quality bed linen. Slept really well every night. We were very lucky that even though pubs and restaurants could only cater for eating and drinking outside, the local pub, a short drive away The Ship Inn had under cover tables with heating. Several other good pubs in short driving distance too. Cottage had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Well equipped kitchen, toiletries provided, lovely soft white towels, excellent little touches but a few too many cleaning rules! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back and recommend to others.

Early Spring Break
We had a very enjoyable week. The cottage was beautifully situated in quiet countryside yet there was a local store about 5 mins drive away where we could get everything we wanted. It was was a traditional cottage, very tastefully converted with all mod cons. We had some lovely walks along the coast and in the unspoilt countryside and had some tasty meals, sitting outside local cafes. We highly recommend the cottage to anyone who wants to get away from the rat race.
