Three bed home forest view home
Absolutely lovely house, amazing communication with Abbi who was helpful and allowed flexibility on check out time (even though we didn't need it in thr end). House was lovely and clean and really spacious, we would 100% recommend and use again!

*Luxury Coastal Retreat* Family friendly sleeps 10
Clevedon is lovely and this Airbnb is in a particularly nice part. A block from pier and foreshore, and a few doors from a quaint traditional suburban pub. Best though is 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants on Hill Road. Nice decent local shops that are not chains. Junior Poon, Vintage and Vine, Scoozi and Le French corner all good. The house is spacious and well kept … a great base to explore locally area and beyond.

RJs Beautiful 2 bedroom house which sleeps 5
Lovely stay, the house is lovely and location is perfect as I was using the train station. Despite being so close the the station you don’t even notice it. Host were lovely and when I had a problem operating the heating they were over within 20 minutes and found the issue and fixed it. Would 100% recommend.

Easy access to city 2 bedroom whole house
Emma has been a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful and even posted the keys to us as she was away. The house was very homely and had everything you could need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Very helpful notes left around and all in all a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely stay at Emma’s house again.

Entire Modern Home
Great place to stay with beautiful surroundings. House was as described and clean, and the host was responsive and friendly. Would recommend anyone travelling to South Wales - 5 Star

The Croft
We were on a weekend trip to South Wales and stayed at Amanda’s place for a night. It was incredible! The place was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including a barbecue.

Luxury Boutique 5 bedroom House in Cardiff
Beautiful house, great city centre location & lovely helpful host.

Ty Pentref - Village House
We had a lovely stay Ty Pentref. The house is light and airy, with lots of space. It is full of all the essentials, and then some. A comfy bed, clean kitchen and big sofa. The garden is a lovely suntrap in the afternoon too. Ty Pentref is walking distance to Cwmcarn Forest as well as plenty of other beautiful walks, just on your doorstep. We will definitely be back again!

The Apple Store, Gileston Manor coastal retreat
We stayed here for our wedding night. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, lovely touch of petals on the bed. Grounds were stunning and I even had a cuddle with the resident ginger cat. Would love to stay again.

Cosy apartment Cardiff bay 5 mins to centre
Fabulous location and easily walkable between both the exciting city centre and the culturally inviting Bay area. This accomadation quite rightly boasts its remarkable views of the river, is peaceful and private, modern, comfortable and yes, as cosy as stated! Seriously, the underfloor heating in the bathroom is a joy! This was my first visit to Cardiff and as a writer and tourist I can absolutely say my inspirations were tweaked! The hospitality of Gemma and Shaun was friendly, accomodating and respectful! Perfick!

Carriages Studio At Gileston Manor Coastal Retreat
This property is just perfect, could not recommend staying here enough!!

The Coach House At Gileston Manor Coastal Retreat
Lovely weekend break at the coach house. Accommodation was great, perfect for self catering, very comfortable beds with great quality bedding! 15 - 20 min walk to the beach, same distance (in the opposite direction) to the local pub and shops.

Beautiful 4 Bedroom Apartment - Sleeps 12 people
Tucked away there's no way you'd find this apartment without knowing it was there - luckily we were sent directions which meant we could find this gem! the apartment is spacious in the living areas and bedrooms with each bed being a double. there are 2 rooms with 1 double bed in, and 2 rooms with 2 double beds in, which was perfect for our needs. parking was about 10 minutes walk but there were lots of spaces available (at the library) which was perfect. we got ubers into town but it's probably walkable in 25mins if you were that way inclined! really communicative and friendly host, and I would definitely look to book again

1-Bedroom Apartment by the sea
Beautiful apartment with everything u need. Right next to the ocean, u could hear the waves in the night coming in. Would recommend :)

Seaside Bliss:1-Bedroom Apt with Sea Views
A perfect short-stay getaway with dreamy views across the water. The lounge and bedroom overlook the sea making it the perfect place to wake with coffee and watch the sunrise. The flat is well equipped. We cooked amazing local produce from the excellent butcher and greengrocer during our stay. The shower was a great way to relax after a long day exploring Penarth and the surrounding area. It's about a 10 - 15 minute walk into the town centre through a beautiful and peaceful park and Cardiff is a short train, bus or taxi ride away! Initially we were concerned that the flat might smell of fish and chips because of the takeaway below, but it doesn't. We can heartily recommend them - especially if you have food allergies and they also cater for vegans. Similarly the ice cream parlour on the pier were able to cater for celiacs and vegans. The customer service team were highly responsive. We would love to stay again if we attend events in the local area. BeachCliff is amazing

Hawthorn Lodge with Jacuzzi, sauna and play area
Felt right at home and loved the place. it was great watching the stars and planets from the hot tub. Joe kept us stocked with firewood. local pub friendly with excellent real ale. never got the opportunity to eat there but heard the food is good.

Forest Ride Retreat cottage at Cwmcarn Forest
I really enjoyed my stay at 25 Coronation Place. The living room was light and spacious which adjoined a fully integrated kitchen. Plenty of space in the utility room and the downstairs bathroom was superb with an excellent bath and shower. Upstairs the main bedroom provided the most comfortable night's sleep with plenty of storage space. The twin bedroom was cosy and quiet which had a view to the hills in the distance. The houseplants were lovely to see throughout and a choice of books to read. It was a place to unwind - it provided peace and relaxation.

Welsh Mill as seen in House and Garden
A truly magical, cosy, and charming cottage! It was perfect for us, our daughter and our dog - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely visit again.

Garden Suburbs Cottage
We had a lovely stay in this cottage. It was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and there was plenty of space for a family of five. We were only in the area for a very short time, as we were en route to somewhere else, and this was the ideal place to stay to break up the journey. We would happily stay here again and would like to explore the area more. This would be a lovely place to stay for longer. Highly recommend.

Ty Carreg - a refurbished former miners cottage
This is the third time we have stayed here and it's been brilliant every time. Everything you need is in the house, it's very well equipped and Martyn is very helpful and responds very quickly. House is lovely and clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the beautiful scenery. Thank you Martyn, I'm sure we'll be back again soon!!

Modern miners cottage close to the brecon beacons
Sean's place is lovely. Very comfortable, spacious and excellent amenities. the pictures do not do it justice. Sean was super friendly with lots of local information. Parking was not a problem at all. I would not hesitate to return.
