Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

This is a property that is extremely hard to beat in terms of it's location. It is isolated, but does not feel lonely. The sky and the sea, and nature in all it's great beauty, dominate. This is not a place for the technophobe, but a place to unwind, relax and rejuvenate. Just a few yards from from the cottage is the coast path, with stunning views of the little coves and beaches nearby, and endless potential for walking and exploring. Rhossili beach nearby is magnificent, the sight of which never ceases to lift the spirits with its beauty.
The property is accurately described, and warm, cosy and comfortable.
My daughter, son in law and year old baby enjoyed staying in the roof bedroom, and so long as you are careful and fit, the tiny staircase would not pose too much of a problem.
All the amenities one could wish for are not far away in the little village of the Mumbles, including lots of lovely little shops to suit all the family. The Italian restaurant Verdi's has wonderful food and specially ice cream, but that just may have been superseded this year by the discovery of Joe's coffee crunch ice cream.......delicious! If all that a city centre can offer is required, Swansea is just along the bay, but really, for me, nowhere beats just being at Clover Cliffe cottage; it's just perfect, but please don't tell too many people!

"Us" is: a Mum, two grown-up sons (21 and 18) and their teenage sisters (16 and 14). We all enjoyed the place so much. The biggest compliment is that even the beloved computer was not missed!
It is obvious that the location is for nature lovers - we recommend hiking boots. We had warm and sunny weather but could also imagine the place to be very cozy in less favourable conditions. The personal information provided regarding the history of the house and the surrounding landscape was much appreciated and contributed to the fact that we felt well and at home and - for the short period that we were there - also responsible for the preservation of this wonderful spot on earth.
So good luck to Clover Cliff, Liz, Oliver and Gail and all the future guests.

Clover Cliff Cottage felt like home from the minute we arrived. It felt welcoming and warm, and had absolutely everything we needed. We also enjoyed not having a television, it made our break relaxing, and we played games, (lots of which are provided), read (a good variety of interesting books and maps are also provided), but probably spent the most time watching the light change over the most spectacular view. The view is just stunning, and on full display from all the main living areas of the cottage, and a couple of the bedrooms. On misty mornings it was quite hypnotic watching the view reveal itself as the sun burnt off the mist. In the evenings we sat outside and watched the sun set with a glass of wine...bliss !
We walked a lot, directly from the cottage on the Coastal Path. We walked to Rhossili, The Worms Head, Mewslade Bay and to Port Eynon 6 miles along the Cliffs, the dog was exhausted ! We did need the dogs lead though, the cliffs are steep and sheep plentiful !
In all, we had a very peaceful and relaxing week at Clover Cliff, we unwound completely and were very sorry to leave. It casts quite a spell on you .. We loved it and will be going back as soon as we can.

We (4 adults, 3 kids (aged 3,5 and 5)and a dog) had fabulous week at Clovercliff in sunny Wales (it really was sunny almost every day and in the mid 20s). The house worked really well for our two families with the adults in the two rooms downstairs and the kids in the room upstairs. So what was so good?
1. The support from the owner Liz before we arrrived (she answered my numerous questions almost instantly).
2. The location- amazing views of Worms Head, right on the costal path for dog walking and running and really quiet (you can hear the waves).
3. The garden - perfect for children to play in, ideal for a dog to be contained in (as long as your dog can’t climb stiles) and there is an outside tap to rinse wetsuits, body boards etc before hanging them on the line.
4. The house - well equipped for cooking, enough storage for a weeks worth of shopping, a table big enough for us all to eat at, a separate toilet from the bath/shower, a small washing machine for little people’s clothes and comfy (in a lived in kind of way) sofas. I imagine it would be cosy in the winter too with a log burner though we spent every evening sat on the back porch watching the sun set and hardly sat on the sofas.
5. The beach - Rhossili beach is beautiful and perfect for digging sandcastles, body boarding/surfing and taking your dog to (year round). We walked there from the cottage some of the days - about 2.5km along the coastal path and other footpaths then fetched one car to drive the kids home. There is an uphill walk from the beach each day but the ice cream shop at the top of the hill was a great bribe! There is also a great cafe at the top which sells good coffee and cake - a pit stop on the way to the beach if you walk there.
6. The lack of TV and WiFi - lots of playing and conversations were on the menu instead. There was some 4G if you stood in the right place so you could send a WhatsApp or check the weather but not much more than this.
Very few negatives, however :
1. The lane to the cottage (especially past the farm) is full of potholes and very rough. Our car is a Volvo R Design and quite low to the floor so we tried to drive as little as possible as we were worried about damaging it.
2. The stairs to the upstairs are narrow and steep - our kids (almost 4 and two 5 year olds) were fine but you might want a stair gate for any younger.
3. The recycling system is a bit complicated - read carefully.
All in all I would definitely recommend!

A lovely little rustic bungalow on the cliff top close to Rhossili Bay. Well stocked with information about the history and geology of the local area together with maps and books for walking. Good bird watching and very tranquil! With no TV or wifi it's a great place to escape from the bustle of everyday life!

Set in beautiful surroundings, this property is perfectly located for stunning cliff top walks. Due to its remote location and its tranquillity, Clover Cliff feels like you're safely tucked away far from the rest of the world (though there is a village nearby). The perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and (in my case) to focus on my writing.
I visited in late February and the house wasn't particularly warm overall (it only has night-storage heaters), however it was lovely to warm up by wood-burning oven in the evenings. As other reviewers have mentioned, the drive through the farm needs to be approached carefully due to the potholes in the road, but the property managers warned of this issue prior to arrival.
All in all, I had a fantastic stay and would visit again.

Oh my goodness, what a find, what a gem of a place! We wanted cosy isolation with stunning views, and walks for the dogs on our doorstep and the cottage did not disappoint.
We had good days walking, with breath taking views at every turn, spaces for the dogs to run free and be regular dogs, and hang up their super hero Guide Dog capes.
The gardens were fenced in (but doesn't impede the view from inside)and they loved being able to run right around the property and play chase!
The cottage is very thoughtfully kitted out, with minute attention to detail. The bed was so comfy, and the evenings by the roaring fire capped off wonderful days.
One word of caution....if like the rest of my family you need maxed out central heating, all your electronics to work and a shop / take away close by, then this cottage is not for you......but that leaves it for the rest of us to luxuriate in!
Liz and Delyth have very thoughtful notes, that are just where you need them to answer any queries without having to speak to anyone...bliss again!
Needless to say, we will be back, in a heartbeat!
