About
Enjoy exclusive use of this peaceful, beautifully restored Edwardian house, the birthplace of the poet Dylan Thomas. It can sleep 1 to 7 people across the 4 bedrooms. Swansea centre is 1 miles away and the start of the Gower Beaches is 5 miles away. The home which was originally owned by the Thomas family, has a retro Edwardian décor that includes a phonogram, books, newspapers of the day and games. Much of Thomas' published output was written in the house. Apart from Dylan’s bedroom, which has been described as the first World Literary Heritage Site in Wales, there are 2 double bedrooms and a twin bedded room. On the ground floor are 3 reception rooms and a kitchen. There is a garden to the rear of the house. Cwmdonkin Park is a short walk away. A guided house tour is undertaken on arrival and experienced guides are available for tours with Dylan Thomas Country.

Pros: The accommodation was like stepping back in time, terrific for those who have a great fascination in History and Dylan Thomas. All the rooms are decorated beautifully in style, and it is like sleeping...
Cons: There is not a shower in the bathroom, but a beautiful roll top bath - I guess showers we'rent around in 1914

Pros: This is a large Edwardian house where the poet Dylan Thomas spent the first 23 years of his life from 1914 to 1936. It has been renovated and furnished to fit the period and feels truly like stepping...

Pros: If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Swansea that's not the normal hotel, b&b or cottage, where you can experience history & atmosphere then this is the place to go. Granted this ...
Cons: Nothing it came up to my expectations.

Pros: The house was amazing and you get a real feeling for what life was like when Dylan Thomas was living there and what it was like to live there. We were pleased to have had the chance to stay ...
Cons: I don't think the house is really up to speed for guests staying overnight. For example there were no toiletries for the bathroom; no way of washing your hair or drying it (no shower or hair dryer...

Pros: Living in the very history of a great international poet, not just observing his traditional habitat on a museum tour type basis, was most compelling. Where else in the world can you do that?

Pros: This is an extraordinary property, lovingly restored to take you back to 1914, the year of Dylan Thomas's' birth. It's cosy, comfortable and authentic. Totally charming. Lovely continental...
Cons: If you like all your mod cons or have small children, this is not the place for you - there is so much attention to detail in the restoration it would be hard to relax with little ones running around!

Pros: The warmth of the welcome, the fact that the house had been restored to its Edwardian origins with painstaking detail .... and the fact that it was Dylan Thomas's birthplace and family home. The proprietor had left lots of excellent information and books to bring Dylan Thomas 'back to life'.
Cons: The 'hotel' was really good. The only reservation I have is the pricing policy. We paid £300 for 3 nights for the entire 4 bedroomed house, yet there was also a charge per person if we exceeded 2 adults. This is very confusing! I think the charge should either be based on rental of the property, or price per person - not both!

Pros: Dylan Thomas House is a work of art and you will never forget your stay. As soon as you cross the threshold you step back into Edwardian times and every room is truly fascinating. It is still a very comfortable hotel but also a truly different and memorable experience.
