Bay View Apartment, by Solace Stays
We enjoyed the stay, loved the location and the apartment was clean, welcoming and had all you needed for a comfortable stay.

Cardiff bay spacious 1 bed in private complex
This was our first visit to Cardiff in many years and the apartment was lovely and spacious. The location was walkable to the city center and Cardiff Bay. Amanda was a great host and very welcoming and responsive. We will definitely come back!

Central Studio w/ Roof Terrace
Was amazing, would stay again

Sunset seven 1 bed flat with sea views
This flat had the most incredible view. We enjoyed our time by the sea and watching the stunning sunsets. This flat is a short walk to shops and restaurants on Hill Road and at the Beach. Helen and Michael were excellent hosts. They were incredibly helpful and responsive.

Emerald Flat Cardiff Bay/City Centre- 2Bed & 2Bath
The apartment is very well located right along the water and close to many shops, restaurants, and walking paths. The weather was gorgeous during our stay which made the visit even more enjoyable.

Cardiff Bay comfortable 2-bed flat
A perfect place for our weekend trip away for the rugby. The flat is a 10 minute walk from Cardiff Bay and the City. Secure parking on site, key pick up and drop off was simple. Everything was well communicated and clear. The space itself is a home from home, with a good amount of space for a two bed flat. The outdoor balcony overlooking the river was lovely. If you need a base to explore Cardiff and arrive by car, look no further! Thanks Huw!

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!

Ty Mor Studio Apartment Penarth

Harbourside, 2 bedrooms Great links to City Centre
We really enjoyed our stay at Alex’s place. It was extremely clean and comfortable. We were also in a prime location to the main parade at Barry Island. Alex very kindly gave us some pointers for food and drink places. Would definitely visit again.

Welsh Miners Cottage
Great location, in a lovely cottage. 40 minutes from Waterfall country, which was lovely walking. Morning and evening dog walks from the door into countryside. Cottage well equipped and very clean

Caithness Holiday Home
A wonderful house to stay in, me and my friends had the best time! The house was immaculate and Alex was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, with lots of useful information cards/books in the house too!

Woodbank
We spent 2 weeks at Woodbank House and had the best time. The highlights are the kitchen and the grounds. The skies at night are amazing. Bess is a terrific host, perfect communication and so helpful. Thank you so much, I hope we get a chance to stay again! X

Canal view,parking,garden in the heart of the city
Loved the location which was superb for visiting the city centre or the Bay. It was lovely and quiet in the evenings which is amazing for such a central location. Would recommend and would love to come back another time.

*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.

Wharfinger's Cottage
Wharfinger’s Cottage is an idyllic sanctuary! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to be back!

Dock view
Gareth was a great host. Lovely house in a good location for the beach and town. We really enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend. Thank you

A fantastic luxury apartment in a brilliant location. The apartment was spotless thoughout, seemed almost brand new in fact. Very high-end finish & comfortable beds. Surrounded by great restaurants.

Belgravia Mansions - Peaceful Georgian 3BR Seaview
Wow thank you Lucy. We spent the weekend in Weston for my 50th and my Mums 80th family gathering. The photos of this gorgeous property and the location with a sea view were what drew me to book. On arrival it was even better than expected immaculate and spotless ♥️
