   Like stepping back in time. We loved our stay as a family. My 2 daughters, 9 and 5 loved the opportunity to experience living in the past. The house is beautifully decorated and felt true to the period. Great communication and welcome. Location is very good, peaceful yet close to amenities and the famous Cwmdonkin Park. Felt like a hidden world on our own doorstep as we live fairly close but wanted to experience living history.

   A "hidden gem" where we had a truly memorable visit followed by an enormous afternoon tea served by Geoff whose warm welcome and obvious love for the house only added to the experience. We were surprised to be the only two visitors on the day. Please spread the word about this lovely place.

   Whilst visiting our grandson at university in Swansea, my wife and I made a trip to Cwm Donkin Park and Dylan Thomas' house. It proved to be a wonderful experience . The. park is very well maintained and exactly as we imagined and after spending about an hour there, we moved on to Dylan's birthplace for the house tour . What a treat was in store for us! We were met by the owner, Geoff, who sat us in the front parlour and proceeded to give us an illuminating history of the house and the time Dylan spent there. We were then left to investigate the whole house in our own time and see how the family lived there. It was a real priveledge to be looked after so well by Geoff, a remarkable man, who made us feel most welcome and was so knowledgeable that we learnt much more about Dylan's life - a totally unique experience.

   An amazing experience! Geoff and his team have done a wonderful job refurbishing Dylan Thomas' birthplace. During our stay, we were able to imagine how the family lived and how the young Dylan grew into a poet and writer. We deeply appreciate your painstaking efforts—both in the historical research and in the actual renovation. Since even modern singers appreciate DT, I hope this house will continue to endure for many years to come.

   The experience of a lifetime. A week in the house where Dylan Thomas grew up and got the memories that he later shared with all of humanity. The house is not an Airbnb. It's a return to the 1900s. The location is stunning.

   Best for a tour rather than staying there. The bathroom is of its period and l am used to the home comforts of plenty of hot water and convenience of a shower.

   We enjoyed a very comfortable night at this living museum. It is a splendid homage and faithful reconstruction of the home and early life Dylan Thomas.

   We visited Dylan Thomas the poets house.a couple of months ago, and kind of stumbled across it really, we were driving nearby and saw signs to the house. We decided to visit and were really pleased to meet the chap who had purchased restored the house the way it was when Dylan Thomas lived there. He gave us a tour of the house and it was great. It was really interesting to see how he must have lived and where he was born. The chap who showed us around was very passionate and you could tell it was a labour of love. Visiting the house got my and my partner interested in knowing more about Dylan Thomas and his fantastic poems such as the Dying of the Light. Very much worth a visit.

   Stunning restoration which makes for a very evocative experience - Dylan's early life is easily imagined here, in his childhood home where a vast amount of his work was written. A real gem of a place!
