We had a private tour with Welsh cakes and tea from the fabulous owner, curator, restorer and host, Geoff Haden.

Upon arrival, Geoff detailed the history and significance of the house as well as its cultural importance to Swansea. I was struck at how nostalgic and comforting it felt when we sat down in the front room, as if it were a relative’s home. Geoff highlighted that feeling when he described the home as Dylan’s cwtch, his place he could always come back to with his mother there.

I was so in awe and overwhelmed at how painstakingly put back together it was. The time and effort and love that Geoff and co have put into making this home what it once was, to accurately piece together a Welsh home that birthed it’s most famous export, from disrepair to a real, physical time capsule of an era in Welsh history, all the while maintaining a sense of home and warmth, the essence of hiraeth, is nothing short of sensational.

A must visit for all Dylan fans and anyone curious. Thank you Geoff ❤️
