With Mumbles' beautiful beach just 50 metres from your door and its characterful coffee shops and galleries even closer, the setting of this charming fisherman’s cottage is hard to beat. After a little more bustle? The centre of Swansea is just a short drive away. Although with a cosy fire waiting back at this dog-friendly cottage, you might decide to stay put. If we're being picky, there’s only one bathroom and not much of a garden to speak of here other than a small backyard. But with the beach so close, we don’t think you’ll mind.

Home truths
This home is laid over two floors with internal stairs between them. All three bedrooms are on the upper floor, so it may not be the best choice for those with reduced mobility.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you at this home, but your host asks that you not leave them unattended.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
You won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Given the home's central spot, you may hear some street noise.
This home offers self-check, but there’s 24/7 guest support should you need anything during your stay.
