Cottage vacation rentals in Swansea

We all had a truly wonderful stay at The Dairy in South Wales. The cottage is charming, beautifully kept, and perfectly nestled among rolling hills and countryside walks — an ideal spot to switch off and unwind from the demands of everyday life. The surroundings are peaceful and scenic, with plenty of walking trails right on the doorstep perfect for our 2 dogs what where with us!Whether you're after a gentle stroll or something more adventurous, the area is a dream for nature lovers. Our hosts were absolutely fantastic — warm, welcoming, and always on hand if needed, without being intrusive. You can tell they really care about making guests feel at home. Even giving us milk that we forgot to bring with us-! Lifesavers! If you're looking for a peaceful escape with stunning views, fresh air, and a real sense of calm, I can't recommend The Dairy enough. I left feeling rested, recharged, and already planning a return visit! Thank you so much guys, see you soon!

We had an amazing stay at the cottage. The house was just perfect, the hot tub was divine and the only neighbours we saw were the 2 lovely horses, Saffy and Angel.

If you're looking for a place to stay in South Wales, this is the one! Margaret is a great host, very responsive and lovely! We had our privacy for the whole trip and the house and the surroundings are beautiful! There was rose prosecco, Welsh cakes and chocolates on arrival, everything was pristine and the bathroom was huge with a walk in wardrobe attached. There was so much land for my crazy spaniel to have a good run, he absolutely loved it on his first holiday. The evenings were peaceful with the log burner on under a thousand stars. 5*, thank you Margaret!

A wonderful warm welcome awaits in this picturesque corner of wales. Beautiful rolling countryside and utter peaceful surroundings. A lovely break away from it all where nothing is too much trouble for the host to ensure you have a great stay!

6 of us stayed here for taking part in the Dragon ride. Perfect location for this as it's a straight road to the start. The accommodation was everything you'd expect from a farm cottage, quirky, nice layout and great facilities. Easy check in and out, what more do you need! Thanks John/Liz for providing a cracking place to stay.

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

We booked this air bnb last minute after our previous air bnb booking fell through, and staying here was such an upgrade! The outside space is amazing, we loved sitting out in our private seating area, the shared dining area and the hot tub. The surroundings of the Gower are of course lovely and Adam had made very helpful guides of the local area. I would absolutely recommend staying here, it felt like such a privilege.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Good Life. The space was well maintained and felt like a home. We made the most of the hot tub and kitchen facilities during our stay. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet trip away with a partner or close friend.

This is probably the loveliest Airbnb we have stayed in. The cottage is beautiful, spotless and very comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring and the view from the terrace, lounge and bedroom is stunning. Everything we needed was provided and of excellent quality. Our dog was not just welcomed, but little touches helped him to have a lovely stay, too. The information folder was great, with many recommendations in addition to all the information we needed. Local treats on arrival were a lovely touch. The hosts clearly wanted their guests to have the best experience and were proactive in ensuring this. They were friendly and responsive and helped us out when I sprained my ankle. We were very sad to leave, even after a spending a week there, but we will look forward to returning as soon as we are able.

WOW!!!! Would highly recommend to anyone. And we will 100% return… Such a beautiful cottage with beautiful views. John was super helpful and we couldn’t ask for more from a host. Everything was perfect. We felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. And we found the neighbours very friendly also. Really looking forward to returning in the near future. Thank you John for making us feel so welcome and helping us have the perfect stay.

Lois’s Airbnb was a truly wonderful place for my friends and me to reconnect and spend a few relaxing days together. From the moment we arrived, Lois was incredibly helpful, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. She was an absolute pleasure to speak with and made us feel right at home. The cottage itself is beautiful—nestled in serene natural surroundings, with friendly cats and cheerful chickens roaming around, adding a charming and heartwarming touch to the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at Lois’s cottages if you’re visiting Wales. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the peaceful countryside!

We had a truly relaxing stay at Ducks Cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a peaceful break. One of the highlights was sitting in the lovely garden by the canal, watching and feeding the ducks— a perfect spot to unwind. Everything about the cottage made us feel right at home. Highly recommended.

Danielle's cottage was very clean and spacious with a small private courtyard at the back. The cottage has everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The TVs and heating controls were all very easy to use. The location was great, just behind the high street, there was a bakery around the corner with several cafes, shops, takeaways and pubs all within easy walking distance. Dinefwr park is well worth a visit for the castle ruins and the scenery, and the main entrance is just a 20 minute walk away (or 5 min drive).

Lovely clean spacious with great choice of bed linen. Soak and sleep white cotton. Comfortable beds. Great shower downstairs. I didn’t use the upstairs one to say. Well stocked kitchen Lovely coffee machine Peaceful with good outdoor space.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! A stunning place, with everything you’d need and more for a super homely, comfortable stay. Gareth left us some fresh milk, bread and cookies and had a fridge and kitchen full of essentials. The beds were so comfortable. What a luxurious stay! Parking was easy and communication with Gareth was great.

What a find!! ticked all the boxes. was looking for the perfect location for a toddler and a dog and I found it. Rhian's place was spotless and contained everything we needed. A great central location to explore Carmarthenshire. You really felt you were in the heart of the countryside and so gorgeous to see the lambs run around the fields. Rhian was a super host nothing too much trouble. We will be back x

We had a really lovely stay at the gower cottages. The cottage was fantastic, beautifully decorated with everything we could need- including the lovely shared garden. The location was perfect- very close to Port Eynon, Rhossili and Oxwich beaches. Would thoroughly recommend and will stay again next time we come to the gower. Thanks so much.

Highly recommend this beautifully presented cottage in stunning location with amazing views from the outdoor space! We came for some cycling which was great in such a scenic area, and some bonus Yoga led by Sian - if you get the chance and Sian is free - would highly recommend recommend taking her yoga class! Surrounding areas also have lots of good food and pub options. Sian was an exceptional host - thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay :)

Absolutely amazing cottage and location. I’m looking forward to booking my next stay:)

We had a fab stay at Hideaway! Everything was spotless clean, exactly as described and the dogs loved roaming around in a completely closed off garden - the front gate gives extra peace of mind they won’t escape. The place was beautifully decorated and perfect location situated between Swansea and Llanelli. Loads of walks around the local area and a fab dog friendly pub a 10 min walk away. The huge hamper of goodies on arrival was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to stay!

Stunning location. So peaceful. Great place to relax and unwind. Very friendly and helpful staff. The welcome basket was a lovely touch! All four of us and the dog absolutely loved staying here and we will definitely be back.

Glenn was so kind and helpful! Really enjoyed my stay😊.

Had lovely couple of days with friends at Limetree Cottage. It is a stones throw from Port Eynon beach with great walks on the doorstep. The cottage is clean and well equipped. Lee is a good host - good communications and lovely goodies waiting on arrival (TY ❤️). Also, it would be remiss not to mention Gower Gin tasting just up the hill - which was fab!

Lovely location off the beaten track and well equipped. Wifi wasn't working when we arrived and unfortunately Lyndsey was not able to resolve during our stay. Was not an issue to us and we simply enjoyed the walks and the scenery which were beautiful in the sunny weather we fortunately had.
