Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cardiff Bay

We wanted a peaceful place to rest after a busy day with the kids, somewhere we could feel like we were on our own. This was perfect a fantastic safari style lodge with everything we needed, a beautiful lake with many different birds and other wildlife, and all in a short drive of bike park wales and Pen-y-fan. The hosts were great they never bothered us! But they were always just a phone call away. Can’t wait to return for next trip.

Amazing host she went above and beyond even giving us ibuprofen and snacks for our hangovers!! The house was easy to find, quiet even on a match day, very clean and had everything we could possibly need. Thank you for such a lovely stay we couldn’t possibly ask for more. 10/10 would recommend

Perfect place to stay for a group. Has everything you could want. Nice and quick walk into the centre. Manon is a fab host and checked in with us after the first night to see if we needed anything :) all round extremely happy and we all agreed we’d stop in the property again if in Cardiff

We had a really lovely stay. Such a beautiful place with everything you need! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable

What a lovely little country retreat, peaceful and restful yet with plenty to do on your doorstep. The walk to the country pub, through the village was a highlight. The kids loved the horses, rope swing and of course jacuzzi. We will definitely stay again.

Had an amazing stay. The apartment is much bigger than the photos and was such an easy walk into the centre of Cardiff. Would definitely stay here again!

Firstly, our host was very responsive and friendly and even checked in after our first night to see if we needed anything! The bungalow was beautiful and homely and the location couldn’t have been much better with the town a 5 minute drive away and a lovely park 5 minutes in the opposite direction! The board games, blankets and tea and coffee were lovely extra touches that made it homely! The cinema room is great and so cosy. The only thing that didn’t meet our expectation was the hot tub because it’s in a pergola that needs some tlc and only one of the jets seemed to work! (Maybe it was just us not working it properly!) it also wasn’t very hot. But either way we loved our stay and it was only 15 minutes from zip world which is what we travelled for! Thanks for having us! :)

Beautiful property with everything you could need. The house was absolutely immaculate and Sam was quick to answer any questions that we had and made us feel at home. Will definitely visit again

Very homely welcoming feel. Well stocked fridge and generous breakfast provisions. Very pet friendly and accommodating of our dogs. Spotless and clean and well kept and home from home vibe. Charming decor. Hosts couldn't be more generous and considerate. Ivan and Jaine were so helpful friendly and welcoming. So quick to respond to anything extra we needed. We had such a great new year with our family living in the area which was made even better by this brilliant Airbnb. Thank you

The house was very convenient and big enough for the guests. it had parking for two cars which was useful! The house looked exactly like the photos with plenty of space. the road where the house was looked nice. We walked to the centre and found it wasn't too far.

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.

Lovely little cottage attached to the host’s house in Taff’s Well- great location for getting into Cardiff. Felt very comfortable- yes it is next to the railway but the trains rush by in a flash and the bedroom’s on the furthest side of the property away from the tracks, so you don’t really notice it and it didn’t stop us getting to sleep. Robert was really responsive and very welcoming- we’d definitely consider staying again!

We spent a month in the house. Geraldine and Steve are very friendly and responsible landlords. They helped us a lot with garbage disposal. The room is consistent with the pictures, and the kitchen and bathroom are clean and tidy. The living room is large and the broadband speed meets the needs of the four of us. The parking space is also something we like. The almost unlimited space satisfies me, a novice driver with poor parking skills. In general, all of us are very satisfied with this stay.

Ideal place for us to stay for a family event - there were a number of us staying in the area, some from Australia and New Zealand as well as from Norfolk and Wales. Whilst quirky and a bit unusual it worked well for family to visit and for us to gather around and relax together. Everything we needed was provided and the space worked well. The views are spectacular and worth the challenging drive up. The track is a bit bumpy but manageable - great spot and we could imagine how amazing it would be in the summer. Thank you for letting us stay in your very unique property!

We are very grateful that we chose to stay at Myrtle Cottage. The cottage is spacious and well proportioned. The furnishings and decor are perfect. Stylish and comfortable accommodation with all the amenities that you could want. The outdoor space, parking and countryside location are wonderful and yet access to shops and restaurants is a short walk away. Despite being easily accessible from the M4 motorway the cottage is peaceful and tranquil. Amy is an amazingly helpful host. She was very responsive and friendly. She couldn't have done anything more to make our stay any more special. This has been one of the best stays in 9 years of using Airbnb, which includes some pretty special properties and hosts.

What a stunning place!! The Stella cottage was beautiful, cosy, warm and very clean. It had everything one could need, a very well stocked up kitchen, great toiletries, comfy beds, good shower! We had a wonderful treat bag left for us to enjoy as well. The Welsh Coastal path is literally on your doorstep so plenty walks around in both directions with lovely old pubs on the way. The whole area and the lighthouse itself is stunning!

Had a wonderful stay at Janine’s place very cosy and homely. Very clean with a nice comfy bed and a good welcome hamper. We were staying for a wedding at St Fagans so the location was ideal and the local taxis service was brilliant. Highly recommend Janine’s place to stay.

We had a lovely stay.The accommodation was perfect for a family of 6 and has everything you need. Gareth & Kristina were excellent with instructions and any questions that we had. Everything is within walking distance but is up a steep hill which was excellent for working off the lovely food we ate. Best restaurants are Pavillon, Michelangelo which are 5 minutes away also Bere Grills and the Mexican opposite the pier are really good. If we returned to WSM we wouldn’t hesitate to stay to at The Beach Seaside Retreat.

This was our second visit and we stayed in Pine tree . We had a lovely relaxing stay and thoroughly enjoyed it . We had the pleasure of meeting Rita and thought she was a lovely friendly lady . Pine Tree had everything we needed for our 4 night staycation . We will definitely return again .

We went to watch the 6 nations rugby and the location is so accessible to the city centre. Mary told us all the good locals near to her for food and drink so when we came back after the game we knew exactly where to head. Great host wonderful weekend. I would recommend any future rugby goers to book this place such a great find.

Thank you for an enjoyable stay. Was in an ideal location, lovely spacious property and a friendly host! Very clear instructions throughout our stay and always responsive.

Thank you so much for hosting me! You have an incredible place close to most of the groceries and ammenities! Awesome view of Cardiff Bay. I’ll definitely come back!

Thomas is a great host, extremely responsive to questions and helpful. The house is perfect, a 10 min walk to the centre and perfect for the Tramshed which was our destination. All rooms were spacious and clean with all the basic requirements including milk. tea and coffee. We will definitely use it again.

Ideal place to stay to get into Cardiff, Sasha was very helpful, excellent communication throughout and very welcoming, would recommend
