This impressive property set over three floors is perfect for a large family or groups of friends with up to two faithful canine companions looking for a quiet getaway within easy reach of the heart of Swansea. Situated in a tranquil spot on a hill offering panoramic views over this bustling city, the property is less than 500 metres from pretty Cwmdonkin Park, where your pups can enjoy leading a morning or evening walk.

This is a splendid house with elegant furnishings and bold-coloured decor that make for a wonderful stay for you and your pups. The spacious hallway has oak flooring, an oak staircase and striking stained-glass windows. The home''s heart is the bright, relaxing lounge with comfortable seating, a TV, and French doors. A cinema room is available if you’re in the mood for a movie. The contemporary kitchen is stylish and makes meal preparation a cinch, while a dining area and shower room complete the ground floor features. Upstairs are a family bathroom and three bedrooms - one double, one king-size and one en-suite super-king-size, each with a TV. On the second floor, you’ll find two double bedrooms and a handy shower room. The front garden is great for children to play, and the rear garden has steps leading down to an enclosed patio, offering panoramic views over Swansea Bay. The patio features a hot tub, BBQ, and garden furniture.

For a day at the beach, head to Mumbles (5 miles) or Oxwich Bay Beach (11 miles), both of which welcome your pups to go mutts all year and offer numerous activities for water sports enthusiasts. Head inland to explore the beautiful countryside and learn more about the culture. King Arthur’s Stone (10.5 miles) or a walk around the 12th-century ruins at Pennard Castle (8 miles) will set tails wagging with. Alternatively, let your hounds sniff out adventures in the forest at Penllergaer Valley Woods (5.5 miles).

The images of the property on your website are inaccurate and misleading. When I raised the matter with your complaints team, I received a very dimissive response. I shall be posting a review on Trust Pilot.
