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.

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

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!

Harbourside, 2 bedrooms Great links to City Centre
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

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

In the heart of the city canal view,garden,parking
We had great time in such a cute little house of moon! Beautiful view of canal is complementary. The house was clean with all the necessary things including wifi, netflix, kitchen equipments, heating and hot water accessibility. My 3 year kid loved the playing on stairs and everywhere in the house. I would recommend this small cozy house to everyone who are visiting to cardiff. And i will surely visit again in future 🤗

*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

Big Windsor - Luxury 2 bed apt in heart of the Bay
Perfect for our weekend in Cardiff, I know the area and the flat is central to where we wanted to be….river taxi into town and restaurants that delivered what we wanted and my favourite pub of the last 40 years the PACKET!!!

Luxury City Centre Free Parking King Bed Fast Wifi
Very comfortable and clean with convenient parking close by. We took advantage of the close proximity to the downtown area to walk to shopping, pubs, and a huge selection of restaurants.

Belgravia Mansions - Peaceful Georgian 3BR Seaview
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.

Luxury 2 Bedroom waterfront apartment with balcony
Great stay in a beautiful apartment, a real home from home. The place is spotless, secure and totally hassle free. Next time I’m working in the area I will definitely look to book the same place again. Highly recommended and a great find.

Beachcomber Annexe with sea view
thank you for a wonderful stay. Koa our puppy enjoyed the home and the local area as much as we did. If we come back, we'd definitely stay there again.
