The apartment is within a few minutes of the beach, and the coastal path between The Mumbles and Caswell Bay (and beyond if you're feeling energetic). The apartment had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and comfy enough to be a home away from home. Some great places to eat and drink within a short walk. Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent place to stay

We stayed in this property for 2 nights whilst visiting the area for a family birthday celebration. The property is extremely comfortable - we all commented on how comfortable the beds were ! It was very clean and tidy, nice and warm given its the winter. It was also a pleasant surprise as there were a few essentials in the cupboard ( often places don’t do this any longer ). Lovely to have a sea view. I would definitely recommend this property and we plan to use it again another time.

Ideal pad for work and pleasure

Perfect spot to relax after working by day in Swansea. Idyllic view and heavenly to have walks along the coast path before and after work. Excellent selection of shops and restaurants on the doorstep. My daughters enjoyed swimming, the local and other beaches and trips to a National Trust property all within a 30 minute drive whilst I worked. The apartment and surrounding area was very quiet indeed. The apartment, linens and contents all super clean. Excellent WiFi and all the basics you could need. Can’t fault it and would definitely return and recommend it. Also the owner supplied a really useful info sheet with various recommendations which were spot on.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Breen

Host profile image
We love the south Wales coast and are delighted to be able to share its beauty with our guests, giving a front row view from the apartment.

Why they chose this property

We love eating on the balcony overlooking the beach and then being able to walk on the sand or swim in the sea in a matter of minutes. Alternatively, if we want to go into Mumbles we can be there in a short time and enjoy all that it offers.

What makes this property unique

The stunning view of Rotherslade Beach, the sea and the surrounding coastline while enjoying the comfort of the apartment, which is located in a quiet, peaceful setting.
