House holiday rentals in Uplands

I cannot overstate how amazing this place is. I was looking for an escape into the woods and it was exactly what I wanted. The setting of the cottage is stunning, right on the river and surrounded by trees. It feels remote, even though it's only a short walk into the village. The welcome was really friendly, you can tell that the owners are very active in their community and have put together loads of local info. I particularly liked the map of the community forrest which made me feel confident enough to explore walks by myself. The cottage itself is beautifully kept, with everything that you need, and then some. I didn't want to leave.

Emma was a fantastic host! Her house was amazing and we felt right at home! She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and we even had some little extras like access to the garden and a late check out. We want to come back as soon as we can! A perfect weekend away with our best friends and kids. 🥰😍

Was a great place to stay when we visited the Urdd Eisteddfod which was held in Margam Park this year. The house was very clean and Yan was very easy to get in touch with if we required anything. We have 4 young children, who loved the added bonus of the toys that were in the house. Everything you would need for a short stay was in the house. Thank you 😊

Wonderful place and fantastic hosts which made everyone feel so welcome and were brilliant at communicating with us. Location is perfect to walk to the pubs in Cowbridge then is perfect for a quiet nights sleep just away from the main high street. We will certainly be back! Thanks so much :)

Really nice caravan, well presented and really clean and tidy, the park is a little dated but they have lots for young kids to do. We bought the leisure passes and did actually use them as the pool is small and not many activities for older kids. We left the park everyday to visit different places so if that’s what your after this is perfect

A glorious few days here! Steph's place: immaculate with thoughtful touches like tea bags, coffee, and sugar beside the kettle. Parking was right outside the door so easy unloading. I'm familiar with the area, I lived nearby as a child, we knew where the great walks are: when the tide is low, walk to the next secluded cove and back over the cliffs, also from Duke's Drive there is a footpath that goes up a deep wooded valley following a stream, eventually you come out on the hills above next to a wind turbine. And exploring caves just around the headland on the beach. I couldn't get a good wifi connection in situ, which was actually a bonus; instead of doing work and hobby stuff on my laptop, we had evening walks to the beach (a ten-minute walk, to watch the surfers in the setting sun). Cafes/pubs we visited all had good free wifi. Steph very generously allowed me to charge my car, which saved the hassle of public chargers, and she would not take any payment for the electric used.

A fantastic few days away. The house is beautiful and in a gem of a location. Definitely would visit again!

Such a lovely place for our multigenerational family to enjoy the long weekend together. The highlights were definitely the pool and the large lounge where we spent lots of time together but didn't feel ontop of each other! Richard's excellent communication added to the overall positive experience. We highly recommend this cottage!

We have stayed here now for a number of years the location and the property cannot be faulted in anyway. Alex the host ensures that everything is taken care of and runs smoothly during g the stay. Would throughly recommend.

Lovely long weekend at Driftwood. Good location in walking distance to city centre, university and beach. Hopefully will be able to book again for our next trip to Swansea.

Lovely property. Really clean and very well equipped. Clear instructions and helpful guidance provided. Rob was very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay.

My partner and I stayed at the flat for only one night as we were passing through. We wish we could have had longer to enjoy the space better. The space was perfect for what we needed as it was spacious and cosy. Andrea had recently been adding to the space, we wish we had time to cook in the space and relax with a film. We will definitely be staying again next time we pass through. Thank you again!

Such an interesting and curated place! It’s full of antique and meaningful details. Looks even better than the pictures! Only thing to improve is… we should have booked a longer stay, didn’t want to leave!!! 😄

We had a lovely comfortable stay in Mumbles at Grace's place and the location couldn't have been better. We were able to walk to everything locally and there were plenty of options for food and shopping within walking distance. Parking isn't the easiest, but between the local car parks and free overnight street parking, we managed easily. Just be prepared for the cost of the car parks.

Great location and a very comfortable stay. The accommodation had everything we needed and everything was very clean.

Dear Lauren and Lucy We all loved your place. It was just amazing, we all had a great time. Thank you Best wishes Dipti

We needed to stay in the area for regular hospital treatment and Sharon and Mark were so kind and helpful fitting the dates around us. Cosy little cottage with a lovely, peaceful garden in a great location. The cottage was clean and tidy with plenty of hot water. Walking distance to the centre of Mumbles with all that has to offer so despite the reason for us being there we were also able to think of it as a bit of a holiday. Comfy lounge to watch a bit of Netflix in the evening and lovely comfy beds. Thank you Sharon & Mark

We had a lovely stay at Linda's house! The house was spotlessly clean and well-stocked. She very generously provided us with tons of food, which we really enjoyed! The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Linda herself was very kind and we enjoyed meeting her. The house is ideally positioned to enjoy Gower!

We absolutely loved Matt’s place. If this isn’t the best Airbnb we have stayed at (it might be!), it’s incredibly close. Walkable to everything in the area (including fantastic coffee shops, restaurants, beaches, castle), spotless, spacious, extremely comfortable beds, phenomenal water pressure, well stocked kitchen (milk, orange juice, coffee, water bottles, jams, bread, welsh cakes!) I can’t think of anything to make it better. Parking is the only tricky thing about the place, but even with that we never had to park more than a 2-minute walk away. Matt was responsive to all our needs as well. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks, Matt!

A great find! Set in a picturesque location. The property was well equipped, spotless and very comfortable. Anyone wanting to visit Wales should definitely consider this. We will definitely be back.

Lovely cwtch - thank you - clean and inviting . And, of course, the most amazing bed and bed linen - so comfy . Loved the walk from the back onto the marsh road and along the salt marshes to the two pubs in the next village Llanrhidian - just a shame it was a scramble over a fench to get on the footpath - no gate. Had to carry Flo the Viszla over ! Unless, course, we got it wrong ?!!

We were really impressed with Rachel's place - very comfortable, it had everything we could possibly want, and the (secure) garden (with trampoline) was a definite bonus for both our toddler and Spaniel (who found an old ball in the hedge and obsessed over it for the rest of the week). The kitchen and laundry room were very well provisioned, everything we needed for cooking was there. The location was great for seeing the Gower, it had plenty of local dog walks along and around the old railway track, and Rachel gave plenty of local recommendations for activities, restaurants etc. Check in / out was seamless, and Rachel's communication was brilliant throughout. The Welsh Cakes on arrival were very gratefully received.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mumbles. The cottage was lovely with sea views. It was well equipped with everything we needed and our host, Emily, responded quickly to any questions we had. I would certainly recommend this cottage and would book it again on a future visit.

We had an excellent stay. The house was a perfect base for us (two adults, three children age 10 and under) The annex suited another family member joining us but having the chance to have their own space. House was spotless and homely, with a fantastic view of Swansea bay, Mumbles and beyond.
