Kitchen had all items you could possibly wish for. Owners provide dog bowls and towels. Lots of games to play if you have poor weather. Bus stop outside the property, should run every half hour if you do not/ or can walk into centre.

Holiday home was exactly as described. Suitable for my family with 3 generations, down to 3 year. Plenty of appliances for the youngest child, step, high chair etc. Nice to have an airer, as well as the washing machine. There is a tumble dryer but we didn't use it.

Fantastic house for a family get together.

Great location for exploring the area. Loads of space, big rooms, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, great garden. Stayed with family who were over from New Zealand, the teenagers appreciated having their own space. Can’t recommend this house enough. A great find.

Easter Family Break

Really lovely house and so well appointed. Great family room and dining table for us all to use and kitchen was large with Nespresso machine and double air fryer. Overall a very high standard. Host had thought of everything to make a family stay so much easier. Plenty of information on local areas to explore as well.

Well appointed house with lots of extras

Our family ranged from1 to 91 years old and we all loved the house, garden and the surrounding area. We cooked breakfast, made pack lunches and cooked evening meals in the well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed our evenings chilling on the sofas. We would be happy to return and do it all again .

Roomy property in great location

Mumbles is a lovely place to stay and explore Swansea. We were unlucky with the weather but visited leisure centre pool with slides and wave machine. Shopping and Cinema in Swansea. The kids were very happy (ages 9-13) and lived the bunk beds. Managed to fit in a lovely walk to go on the Mumbles big wheel and arcade. The house is large for two families of four and very well-equipped. Good communication with owners.

Spacious family home!

We stayed here for 5 nights during my daughter's graduation from Swansea University. The property is really well set up with every amenity you would need. It was spotlessly clean. Location in Mumbles is terrific with a short walk to the center of town, be aware that like manyseaside locations the return walk in up a hill. There is a local taxi stand / Ubers should anyone not wish to walk back. Our host was simply wonderful, great communication and very accommodating. Thank you

Excellent!

This is a spectacular property, with 2 lounges, utility room, large kitchen, garden, 5 bedrooms, spread over 3 floors, it is a very large house and very impressive, with parking for 3 cars. It has everything you need for a break away, it comfortably housed 9 of us for our break, including 2 infants. The house is in a perfect location to venture out and explore. There are local shops are restaurants within walking distance, plus loads more further into town, or along the promenade. Dawn, the home owner is a pleasure to deal with, provides excellent communication, and is very helpful, and is easily reachable if you require any assistance, or recommendations on what to do while you stay, we had a lovely meal at the West Cross Inn which was just down the road from the house. The house is also just a 10/15 minute walk down the hill to the beach. Over all we are super happy with the house and the location, Dawn also provided tea, coffee, welsh milk and butter, some welsh cakes and a bottle of prosecco, which were all very much enjoyed! We are very happy and appreciative of the house and service provided by Dawn, the homeowner. We would not hesitate to stay here again in the future! Many thanks :)

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Pardoe

Host profile image
We love the area so much that we have bought our own piece of the Gower. I was born in London, my husband in Maidstone so to be away from the traffic is perfect. We plan on retirement to make the Mumbles our home.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to see and do. The best beaches surrounded by beautiful countryside. When the sun is out everyone goes to the beach, when it is cloudy - everyone goes to the beach. Bring your wetsuit. Enjoy the great outdoors and at night either kick back with a takeaway or walk into the Mumbles for a great night out.

Mariners House was built in the 1930s a time of great style. All the rooms are of grand proportions that even the tallest of people feel space to grow. The house is designed to have great sociable spaces together with quiet zones to escape with a book or the newspaper. It has a cooks kitchen which has a small table in the centre. The allows the children to eat earlier whilst the late supper or dinner is being prepared.

Mariners House welcomes the whole of your family including your dogs. They have a fenced garden to explore whilst you are sipping wine on the terrace.

This property is in the Mumbles , within 500 yards the coast path and the gateway to the beautiful Gower Peninsula. It is also only 5 miles from Swansea Marina and the hustle and bustle of city life . We can walk and run from the door, swim from just across the road and relax in one of the many local bars and restaurants. There are many independent and high street shops so we are well served by all amenities.

What makes this property unique

A huge house that can you bring all your family including your dogs.

Big rooms with space around the beds

Lots of light

Well appointed

Luxury furnishings

Space for 4 cars

One downstairs shower room for removing sand
