House vacation 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.

Emma was a fantastic host! Her house was amazing and we felt right at home! She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and we even had some little extras like access to the garden and a late check out. We want to come back as soon as we can! A perfect weekend away with our best friends and kids. 🥰😍

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 😊

We loved our stay in Cowbridge - our daughters were so thrilled to find the new play equipment and we all enjoyed our swims in the pool. The Quail was well appointed and very comfortable. Our youngest (5) particularly loved the toilet paper flowers and towel swans. Anita made us very welcome, thank you for having us to stay at your beautiful cottage.

Really nice caravan, well presented and really clean and tidy, the park is a little dated but they have lots for young kids to do. We bought the leisure passes and did actually use them as the pool is small and not many activities for older kids. We left the park everyday to visit different places so if that’s what your after this is perfect

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.

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!

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

Lovely property. Really clean and very well equipped. Clear instructions and helpful guidance provided. Rob was very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay.

A wonderful find for a walking break to the Gower area. Super easy to get to our walking routes by car, and also to get to the restaurants and shops of the Mumbles by foot. Very short walk to the sea. The cottage itself is lovely and very peaceful with a nice garden to enjoy pre or post a day out. Suited us perfectly and we found parking to be no issue at all. Sharon was friendly and helpful from the point of booking. Great find.

Clean, stylish and spacious home, great for meeting up with family and friends. Nice location only a short walk away from Uplands and some lovely parks. Good garden for the dog. Flexible, helpful and responsive hosts. I would recommened to anyone, thank you! 😊

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.

A great find! Set in a picturesque location. The property was well equipped, spotless and very comfortable. Anyone wanting to visit Wales should definitely consider this. We will definitely be back.

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.

Great place to stay in Swansea. Very easy to get to the city and can easily explore the local area. The house is great and has everything you need for a short stay. Thank you

A comfortable place to stay and a great base for exploring Swansea and the Gower.

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.

Such an interesting and curated place! It’s full of antique and meaningful details. Looks even better than the pictures! Only thing to improve is… we should have booked a longer stay, didn’t want to leave!!! 😄

We absolutely loved Matt’s place. If this isn’t the best Airbnb we have stayed at (it might be!), it’s incredibly close. Walkable to everything in the area (including fantastic coffee shops, restaurants, beaches, castle), spotless, spacious, extremely comfortable beds, phenomenal water pressure, well stocked kitchen (milk, orange juice, coffee, water bottles, jams, bread, welsh cakes!) I can’t think of anything to make it better. Parking is the only tricky thing about the place, but even with that we never had to park more than a 2-minute walk away. Matt was responsive to all our needs as well. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks, Matt!

Perfect location to get the family together for a long Easter weekend. Location is well placed for local beaches. Good sized table for board games and the outside pizza oven was fun to try. When the weather allowed we played boules and table tennis on the good sized lawn and we had a great time. Mark was helpful and made us feel at home. The Internet is a bit iffy and watching streaming TV had a fair amount of buffering and glitches but about do-able and fair enough for the very rural location. Would visit again. Thanks Mark. (The neighbouring cat is very friendly too)

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

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

64 is perfectly placed if you are looking to get away from the crowds. It's on the quieter side of the Mumbles with very easy access to the costal walk to Langland an Caswell bays. Also very easy access to the Gower peninsula without having to track back through Swansea. There are some restaurants within walking distance, which are perfect for your evening meal. Stewart was always very responsive to any message I sent. The place itself was very clean and had everything we needed for the week we spent there. Parking was easy with 2 allotted spaces right by the front door. The beds were comfortable. There's a cafe about a minute walk away. With a lively view over the bay. We had breakfast there on the last day and it was very nice the bacon was superb. All in all, if you're after a quiet get away, with no hassle the combination of Stewart and 64 is hard to beat. Thank you.

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