The ‘Gateway to the Gower’ seaside town of Mumbles is a hip and happening spot for a family getaway and Mumbles Cottage enjoys a prime, central location, with sea views from the luxurious master bedroom. This white-washed end terrace is deceptively spacious for a family of 6 and, whatever the weather, children will be happy for hours in a big and bright basement play room, with floor cushions, play mats, a rocking horse, play tent and lots more toys and games. Helpfully for the little ones, the basement also has a WC in a shower wet room, plus there is a utility area with a washing machine, sink and additional storage.
Bay windows and French windows flood the cottage with sunshine, especially in the beautifully finished living room, with stripped wood floors, squashy sofas, a wood burning stove and a large flat-screen TV which has children’s programmes pre-recorded on the Sky Planner. Even if the kids hog the TV in the living room, there’s a wall mounted TV in a dining area too and parents can linger at the table, grazing on goodies from the Mumbles’ delis and listening to music on a digital radio or through an iPod dock. Adjoining the dining area is a roomy, country-style kitchen which is well equipped for family self catering and includes a double range cooker with gas hobs, an American fridge freezer, a Belfast sink, microwave, toaster and ample cupboard space.
Like the living room, the master bedroom at Mumbles Cottage is spacious and sunny, with great views across Mumbles and Swansea Bay that parents can wake up to in a luxurious, king-size sleigh bed. Next door is a twin bedroom and the third bedroom has a sturdy wooden bunk for two children. The gleaming family bathroom has cool, ocean blue walls and a heated tiled floor, a large walk-in shower and a Victorian style roll top bath with a shower attachment.

Location Information
The former fishing village of Mumbles, has become one of the most buzzing seaside towns on the south coast of West Wales and the gateway to the famously gorgeous Gower Peninsula. A fun-packed promenade stretches all around the bay, lined with arcades, family attractions and ice-cream parlours, while criss-crossing streets climbing up from seafront are crammed with funky shops, cafe bars, gastro pubs and delis that have put Mumbles on the map as foodie heaven.
Mumbles Cottage is in an ideal location for families, being at the very heart of ‘Mumbles village’ with all its amenities and attractions on the doorstep. Just a short stroll from the cottage, families can hop on a fab little land train that runs along the several miles of seafront to a newly renovated lido, specifically dedicated to little ones and with a playground and a funky wine-bar that makes it perfect for lazy Sundays!
Armed with a bucket and spade, families can spend days in the nearby coves of Limeslade Bay and Bracelet Bay, or on the vast sandy beach at Langland Bay. When the sea air has whipped up an appetite, Limeslade Bay boasts a cafe and Italian restaurant, with spectacular views over the bay, while Bracelet Bay has a retro-style ice cream parlour and cafe. Langland bay also has a great little wine-bar bistro with a kids menu. The sand, surf and scenery of the Gower are certainly a major attraction and the peninsula was the first region in Britain to be listed as an official 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' back in the fifties. Its stunning coastline has been protected ever since with very little development, just mile upon mile of golden sands backed by green fields and hills.
Even when West Wales is ‘wet Wales’, families can have fun in the amusement arcades and on Mumbles pier which has ten-pin bowling. The new 'LC2' swimming pool, (5-10 mins. drive) also has a large indoor splash area with slides and fountains for little ones, huge flumes for older kids, plus a soft play area and a climbing wall.
Some of Wales' best family attractions are within an hour’s drive including Folly Farm with its petting farm, zoo and indoor funfair. Similarly, Anna Ryder Richardson's highly acclaimed Manor House Wildlife Park, manages to combine great design with well planned conservation. Literary enthusiasts can hop on the Dylan Thomas trail, with the a museum dedicated to his life being a short drive away in Swansea, and his former home, The Boathouse, being about 20 minutes away in Laugharne.

James DamaaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They provided a great service helping us select a family holiday which ended up being amazing! Will use again! Colette SintonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were lucky enough to have Vicki's expertise and support in finding our family holiday in Zakynthos this summer. After finding out exactly what we hoped for and needed, Vicki was able to find our perfect holiday - we were so looking forward to it and couldn't have been more delighted. Vicki's communication was informative and proactive throughout - our happiness with the arrangements was of the utmost importance to her and I felt I could get in touch with any queries. These were addressed swiftly and efficiently. I really felt like she went the extra mile in helping us plan our holiday and ensuring we were comfortable with all aspects. Highly recommend!! MAGGIE OAKLANDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used baby friendly bolt holes to book a trip to Portugal. Tori was really helpful in helping us book, manage transfers, etc. On our departure day we had unexpected passport issues - Tori was straight on to the hotel and arranged for us to stay a couple of days later than planned. She was brilliant and really diffused the stress of a heart sink situation. Would definitely book with these guys again. Hannah RoseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since our daughter was born 2.5 years ago, we have booked every single trip away with BFB. We have never been disappointed, and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to holidays! They respond so quickly to every query and have got us some great deals. I trust them fully with what are such crucial decisions about our much needed holidays and recommend them to every parent I know! I would be lost without them! Tom DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The matching service was really useful Chris ReddingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I submitted some basic details on their form on a Sunday evening and Tori got back to me the next day. We exchanged several emails and spoke on the phone. Tori was well informed, responsive and thorough. I was able to book a place that looks great with her help. It was great to have help from someone who specialises in family holidays, as our requirements are pretty different now compared to before having kids. I don't actually think I've ever had a personal service to help book a holiday before. Maybe this is what it was like when people used to go to the travel agent on the high street... Thanks Tori and BFB, would recommend and use again. Jessica TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Baby Friendly Boltholes by doing a Google search, and completed their online form with my holiday requirements. They got back to me very quickly with some great recommendations which were also very cost effective. Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances we're unable to book at this time, but I will definitely go back to Baby Friendly Boltholes when we're in a position to move forward with our booking. Thanks! Joel DaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really fast and easy, available on a Sunday to complete our booking. Highly recommended Samantha ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Juliet at babyboltholes enough, from our initial enquiry right through to booking, she was responsive, understanding and patient. I didn’t even know where to start booking our first family holiday, Juliet took onboard all our needs and found us our dream trip. 5 star service for busy parents! Kirsty SpellmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great to deal with, very responsive and able to find us a suitable option at the last minute.
