House holiday rentals in Swansea

I cannot overstate how amazing this place is. I was looking for an escape into the woods and it was exactly what I wanted. The setting of the cottage is stunning, right on the river and surrounded by trees. It feels remote, even though it's only a short walk into the village. The welcome was really friendly, you can tell that the owners are very active in their community and have put together loads of local info. I particularly liked the map of the community forrest which made me feel confident enough to explore walks by myself. The cottage itself is beautifully kept, with everything that you need, and then some. I didn't want to leave.

We had a great stay at Emma's house over Easter. We were party of 8 made up of 4 adults, 4 children & a dog. The house was clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is really well stocked with a lovely table where we could all eat together. We all loved the pool and the hot tub. We found the location was good for getting to different beaches around the Gower and enjoyed exploring the local castle ruins. Emma is a super responsive and friendly host. We would love to come back!

Was a great place to stay when we visited the Urdd Eisteddfod which was held in Margam Park this year. The house was very clean and Yan was very easy to get in touch with if we required anything. We have 4 young children, who loved the added bonus of the toys that were in the house. Everything you would need for a short stay was in the house. Thank you 😊

A wonderful place with great views and lots of activities to do around. The property was equipped with all the essentials. It’s a nice place for family as there were lot of toys and fun board games to play for kids. There was a special treasure hunt created by the host which my son thoroughly enjoyed doing. I think finding the treasure was his highlight of this trip all thanks to the host for arranging it. It’s said that we couldn’t use the swimming pool as it’s only from 7 to 5 pm and we were out exploring the nearby places so could never make it back by 5 pm. But I am surely going to book this place again with a larger group just to enjoy the experience ! I highly recommend this place for large families as you would enjoy everything that this place has to offer and would not get bored a bit !

Wonderful place and fantastic hosts which made everyone feel so welcome and were brilliant at communicating with us. Location is perfect to walk to the pubs in Cowbridge then is perfect for a quiet nights sleep just away from the main high street. We will certainly be back! Thanks so much :)

A glorious few days here! Steph's place: immaculate with thoughtful touches like tea bags, coffee, and sugar beside the kettle. Parking was right outside the door so easy unloading. I'm familiar with the area, I lived nearby as a child, we knew where the great walks are: when the tide is low, walk to the next secluded cove and back over the cliffs, also from Duke's Drive there is a footpath that goes up a deep wooded valley following a stream, eventually you come out on the hills above next to a wind turbine. And exploring caves just around the headland on the beach. I couldn't get a good wifi connection in situ, which was actually a bonus; instead of doing work and hobby stuff on my laptop, we had evening walks to the beach (a ten-minute walk, to watch the surfers in the setting sun). Cafes/pubs we visited all had good free wifi. Steph very generously allowed me to charge my car, which saved the hassle of public chargers, and she would not take any payment for the electric used.

A fantastic few days away. The house is beautiful and in a gem of a location. Definitely would visit again!

Such a lovely place for our multigenerational family to enjoy the long weekend together. The highlights were definitely the pool and the large lounge where we spent lots of time together but didn't feel ontop of each other! Richard's excellent communication added to the overall positive experience. We highly recommend this cottage!

We had a lovely stay here. Rob was brilliant- very helpful. Property was as the pictures show and we would definitely return! 🙂 Thanks again Rob.

Lovely, cosy cottage with big garden in a great location. 10-15 minutes walk to the town and all of its great restaurants. Really nice walk through the castle grounds, pub and shop that also does great breakfast and lunch 30 seconds walk away. Wonderful Gower beaches a short drive away. Parking directly outside the cottage is permit only, but we always got a space just a bit further up the road. Owners were helpful with local suggestions and in answering any questions before our stay. Will definitely recommend and return in future.

We had a great weekend exploring the coastal paths of Gower peninsula and Lucy's place was the perfect base. The house is comfy and cozy and the little conservatory was lovely for a morning coffee. We had a very restful sleep both nights thanks to absolute silence of the neighbourhood. The off street parking at the back of the house is also very handy.

We had a lovely comfortable stay in Mumbles at Grace's place and the location couldn't have been better. We were able to walk to everything locally and there were plenty of options for food and shopping within walking distance. Parking isn't the easiest, but between the local car parks and free overnight street parking, we managed easily. Just be prepared for the cost of the car parks.

Absolutely nipping clean & spacious with all mod cons Definitely use again when working in area

Great location and a very comfortable stay. The accommodation had everything we needed and everything was very clean.

Amazing place to escape from the city noise. Highly recommend!!!

Nice place, matched description and photos. Lisa is very responsive to questions and proactive with information about local area.

Lovely long weekend at Driftwood. Good location in walking distance to city centre, university and beach. Hopefully will be able to book again for our next trip to Swansea.

Chantal’s home is very comfortable and smartly decorated. The outside space and washing machine with heated drying rack were special extras. They provided clear instructions and good recommendations. We would highly recommend staying here if stairs are not an issue.

Matt’s place was perfect. We were visiting for the wedding of very good family friends, so needed a base. It is very clean, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. There were a lot of little extra touches which went above and beyond - and we really appreciated all the little treats! My daughter had a migraine on Sunday and Matt, very kindly let us stay longer so she could sleep it off. We have another wedding in the area later this year and would have booked this place again, if it had been available! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely house, clean, comfortable and homely. Well stocked for self-catering. Comfortable beds. Great location for enjoying the local beaches. Well stocked for toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets etc.

Owain's place is very spacious and light. The kitchen is excellently well equipped and the bedrooms are generous. The beds are really comfortable and there is plenty of hot water for welcome baths after our walks. We all really appreciated how accommodating Owain was in allowing us to gain access early to drop off our stuff. We were also very glad of a parking space, which was the envy of our friends who had places without off street parking. Owain gave us very helpful instructions and I found it very easy to communicate with him

We booked Rachel's place really last minute and she was so accommodating. It is a gorgeous cottage with everything you need. A short walk down the hill leads to a small park, which is where you can get onto a cycle path that takes you to Blackpill. The cottage is well kitted out for children with lots of board games, toys and a trampoline, which our little one loved. We'll definitely come and stay again. Thank you.

The place was easy to find as the instructions were clear and check in was easy. It was definitely a home away from home , there was everything you could ever need - crockery, cutlery, pots pans, toilet roll, washing up products, clean towels etc . The central heating was so good it made the house warm and cosy within seconds (the weather was a cold and wet when we visited). Everything was spotless and fresh. The view from the kitchen balcony was absolutely beautiful. We had a great time staying here and would love to return sometime in the future. Thank you so much Larisa!

The property is very clean and was perfect for our short stay. Leigh was very responsive and kind enough to let us check-out a little later which we appreciated greatly. Highly recommend staying here!
