Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cathays

Victoria was incredibly communicative, couldn’t ask for any more. The property is clearly the family home, in a lovely area of Cardiff - conveniently located for an 8 minute train journey into the city centre.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Lydia was amazing and super response we got stuck in traffic and arrived later than expected but Lydia was still happy to greet us. The hot tub was lovely and warmed up for our arrival 😁Everything we needed was there for us 🙌🏻 We had the most relaxing and peaceful stay to celebrate my partners 40th. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back 🥰

Great house in the best possible location in Cardiff ideal for a long weekend/break. Sian was extremely helpful, making the arrival process extremely easy and always willing to assist with any request/question that we had. Very happy to recommend the house and host!!!

Fantastic stay, would definitely recommend if you’re ever in Cardiff. Location was spot on, only a 15 minute walk into central. The hot tub was also a lovely touch! 10/10 would recommend

Great location with lovely views. We stayed for our wedding and Lucy was very accommodating with deliveries etc dropping things off in the morning. Lucy's place was very clean and had all the amenities you could want. A great place!

We’ve just returned from the most delightful short break in a beautiful college cottage tucked away in the heart of Wales. The cottage itself was a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort — tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean, and full of character. Surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful sounds of nature, it felt like a true escape from the everyday. This little haven gave us the peace and quiet we craved, along with the warmth and welcome of a truly special place. We left feeling rested, inspired, and already dreaming of our return xx

What a lovely little country retreat, peaceful and restful yet with plenty to do on your doorstep. The walk to the country pub, through the village was a highlight. The kids loved the horses, rope swing and of course jacuzzi. We will definitely stay again.

lovely little get away with friends. house has everything you needed including tea coffee etc.. would definitely go back. Brian also very friendly and communication was fab. thank you Brian!

Very comfortable house. Nice touches with milk, chocolate, shampoo , shower gel. Sports weekend so all accommodation was expensive in Cardiff. House sleeps eight comfortably. Good value with more people.

Mike was the perfect host, very friendly and helpful, even gave us a bottle of wine as we arrived very late and to save us from having to find the nearest Tesco Express which was due to close. The accommodation is spotless spacious and even though you are sharing his place you only see Mike if you want to. There was some milk and fresh orange juice in the fridge on arrival so coffee in the morning great. Mike is a wonderful host and I’m sure everyone who stays with him will have a very pleasant stay

We’ve stayed in lots of Airbnb places over the years and Oak Farm is up there with the best. We had a fantastic week with Alicia & Chris being excellent and friendly hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay extremely comfortable and they were very generous with their time and the extras they provided. The location is superb with outstanding views across the hills, we spent many happy hours sitting in the Sun loungers reading. It’s also a great location for exploring the wonderful hills around Abergavenny . Our dog loved it too with a secure area of woodland for him to play and explore we would love to return one day and will be recommending this place to our friends and family . Thank you Alicia and Chris.

Lovely quirky place , homely , Charlotte was very accommodating as we needed late check out and we had 2 dogs, would definitely recommend if you need a base for going in and out of the city

Robert was welcoming and gave us some Welsh cakes on arrival. Will visit again if in the area for a weekend break. thanks again James & Charlotte and the dachshunds

Great location, perfect for walks and plenty of options for food and drink. Comfortable, clean and quiet accommodation.

Needed a place to stay for our group of friends to watch the rugby, Danny's place was just what we needed, room for us all, & within walking distance, weather permitting, of millennium stadium, large taxis cheap enough, if not. Like staying at a mate's house but your mate's not there 🤣 Great pub about 10 minutes away, The Lansdowne. Easy check in & out. Danny was very responsive to all our needs.

A beautiful cottage in lovely peaceful surroundings. A superb stay and would recommend to others.

Had a great stay here. Very homely and comfortable beds. Would recommend and stay again when I next visit Cardiff. Thank you

absolutely lovely place to stay, amazing veranda and garden, nice and friendly hosts, would definitely go back.

The barn is beautiful, and we immediately felt at home. Everything you need to feel comfortable and enjoy your stay is provided, and there's plenty to do with Cardiff being close by. Highly recommend!

Great place plenty of space inside. Kitchen was done lovely bathrooms nice. Location great for the front near beach and close to restaurants at hill street. Comfortable beds quiet in the evenings. Parking was a problem very difficult to park near the house would be better with permits as so close to front. Otherwise a fantastic stay in good location.

Amazing location, Mike was super helpful, friendly and communicative. Wouldn't hesitate to book and stay again. Thank you 😊👍

We felt right at home during our 2-week stay. Lively neighborhood with several grocery stores, lots of restaurants and a bus stop nearby. City centre is about 25-30 minutes away by walking. Cathy and Donna were quick to answer all our questions. Hot water in the shower was a bit inconsistent sometimes, but otherwise, no complaints.

This was our third stay at the lovely barn and I’m sure we will be back in future. Lots of character, beautiful, peaceful surroundings with a few pubs within a couple of miles walk. Diana was a great host as ever, overall another very enjoyable stay.

You can't beat this location ! Our stay was absolutely amazing from the moment we booked. The host was incredibly accommodating and friendly for us since we arrived, which we really appreciated. The place is tucked away in a charming, friendly neighborhood that felt both peaceful and convenient. It’s close to everything we needed. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and cozy. The thoughtful touch we loved was Emma’s charm —she really made us feel at home. I highly recommend staying here. It truly made our trip to Cardiff even more special and enjoyable :)
