Great Location - View - Beach and Walks
Review Submitted: 21 July 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
Stayed at this property for 4 nights 11 - 15 July 2011. What a fantastic location, the view from the lounge window is wonderful. Loved just sitting on the large sofa first thing in the morning and last thing at night looking out over the beach.
The apartment is as described:-
Comfortable/Modern Decor and comes with a full dishwasher, washer/dryer, cooker, fridge/freezer and microwave. The best thing is....they were in good condition and all worked efficiently.
The well fitted modern kitchen cupboards are amply stocked with crockery, pots, pans etc., Again, all in good condition.
The bathroom is tastefully decorated and the shower cubicle is large with a constant water temperature flow. Good quality towels provided.
The bedroom has a comfortable double bed and plenty of fitted cupboard space. The one disappointment is there is no window as it is located at the rear of the apartment.
Best thing is...we did not hear any noise from the other apartments in the block.
Caswell Bay was busy with day trippers from Mid-morning until about 4.00 pm but never crowded. The walk along the cliff to Langland Bay is spectacular. On getting there enjoyed a visit to 'Langland's Brasserie by the Sea' for a mid morning coffee and cake.
On the second day took the local bus (one an hour in the summer months) to Newton Road, Mumbles and then walked back across the cliffs via. Rotherslade, Langland eventually reaching Caswell Bay. Great walk with fantastic views. Plenty of seats to take a well earned rest. Plus a few Cafes/Ice Cream shops if you require refreshments along the way. Try the Salt Marsh Lamb Burger in the Cafe at Caswell Bay.
Walked around the Nature Reserve Woodlands Area in Caswell Bay, entrance is located at the rear of the public car park. Enjoyed it.
If you plan to visit the apartment, stock up on provisions before you check in - as there are no grocery shops in the immediate area.
Loved the area, friendly people, great views, good scenic walks - nature at its best, Plus the weather was kind to us. Plan to return and explore further.
