Cardiff Bay comfortable 2-bed flat

MatthewRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

AmandaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Harbourside, 2 bedrooms Great links to City Centre

JodieRating, 5 stars4 days ago
It’s lovely to stay in an Airbnb that’s modern & not crumbling down, which they usually are! It was very clean and the beds & sofa were comfy so have rated it 5 stars! Alex was also super responsive . Do have some suggestions though as the bedrooms desperately need some thick curtains. The large room is flooded by the street lights as the blinds are only thin plastic & you just can’t get any sleep. The smaller room is a bit better but was still too bright. The bath is incredibly shallow (maybe it’s a Welsh building reg requirement) so bear in mind if you like a deep bath. In terms of the dining table, you need to move the couch and table in order to get 4 round it, I think a square one would be easier with 4 chairs rather then 2 chairs & 2 stools. Some information on the recycling would have been helpful as it was hard to know what went where & we need a non-recycling bag for nappies (which are available in Wales as my SIL has one). A welcome pack would have been nice too! Xx

We had great time in such a cute little house of moon! Beautiful view of canal is complementary.

*Luxury Coastal Retreat* Family friendly sleeps 10

BradRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

Belgravia Mansions - Peaceful Georgian 3BR Seaview

AdeleRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Lucy's property was exactly as we had hoped and there was nothing that could be improved upon. It has a beautiful decor and is very clean and comfortable with all amenities that we needed. It was lovely to have a balcony which had a partial sea view. The location is ideal with parking nearby and it is easily within walking distance of the seafront and its bars and restaurants. We will definitely try to book again if we revisit Weston-super-Mare.
