The decor of this suite deserves lots of special attention – antiques, books, and knick-knacks are all souvenirs of your hosts' travels all over the world, meant to immerse you into a feeling of wanderlust as you explore the city of Cardiff from the comfort of a Victorian villa. Staying on Cathedral Road is about as close to centre as you can get while still staying somewhere with a tranquil atmosphere, putting you close to great restaurants, museums, and famous sights. But let's focus on the studio for a moment. Not only is every piece of furniture a statement, you'll also find that the smaller details deserve plenty of praise. Luxurious bedding, a Nespresso coffee machine, a huge four-poster bed with a pillow menu to match your preference, and high-end toiletries, all testify to the hosts' desire to make sure you have a fantastic stay.

Located on the ground floor of a converted Victorian house, this ground-floor apartment has arguably the best position at the address. This is down to the private terrace, accessible through the bedroom's glass doors, which is a lovely place in which to sit and soak up the sunshine on summer afternoons.

The interior escapes the gloomy fate of many a ground floor flat thanks to the skylight above the kitchen, which fills the space with natural light. There's a reassuring quality to the furnishings and fittings, especially the minimalist kitchen and the dark bathroom.

Located on the outskirts of Roath, the local area has a laid-back feel popular with families and young professionals. That being said, the bright lights of the Welsh capital aren't too far away — the restaurants and venues of Cardiff Bay take little over ten minutes to reach in the car.

Bluebird Feather

While this apartment only takes up part of the ground floor of a Victorian house, it still benefits from some of the architectural quirks from the period. The big bay window, for instance, is particularly generous when it comes to natural light, while the high ceilings and large rooms lend a sense of airiness.

The interior design completed in more recent years is bursting with characterful touches, like the bold pattern wallpaper, hanging bare lightbulbs and the flourishing house plant in the main living space. Along with these aesthetic considerations, the basics are nailed, too — one look at the dark, sleek kitchen and bathroom will show you what we mean.

The surrounding neighbourhood of Plasnewydd has a residential feel but many of Cardiff's main attractions, like the castle and Bute Park, can be reached in around half an hour's walk.

Patio / Terrace

Courtyard

Located in the heart of Cardiff, this cosy townhouse is a fantastic choice for exploring the Welsh capital. It's perfect for those who like to be in the mix of a city and close to all the action but far enough to be able to switch off and relax at the end of the day. 

Cloaked in light, neutral shades and contemporary interiors, this home is one that you'll love spending time in. We particularly love the open kitchen and dining room, ideal for socialising and spending time with family or friends, gathered around the stylish dining table for meals at home. 

There's so much to explore in Cardiff, you'll be glad you're just a seven-minute walk from the iconic Cardiff Castle. If you love museums, you're in luck – the Museum of Cardiff and the National Museum Cardiff are both less than fifteen minutes away by foot. You can even hop on a water taxi to Cardiff Bay, full of historical sites, beautiful scenery, and great restaurants.

When your feet can no longer carry you, head home to relax in the garden with a nice glass of wine. Your kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up homecooked dinners, or you're an eight-minute walk to Quay Street, where you'll find a string of delicious restaurants. 

The White Townhouse

Games Console

Hot Tub

Wellness & Fitness

This pleasant two-bedroom home is just five minutes from Cardiff city centre, and ten minutes from the M4, making it an excellent base for a visit to the area. Principality Stadium is just a twelve-minute car ride away, and you can be at Motorpoint Arena in eight minutes – if you’re in town for an event, the location of this home couldn’t be better. 

The house is comfortable and convenient with a local shop under a minute from the front door, and creature comforts galore. The in-ceiling audio is a particular favourite – you can listen to your music throughout the home. 

Visit one of the many nearby cafes or bakeries for breakfast, before heading into the city centre for a spot of shopping. Cardiff Bay is only ten minutes away and is jam-packed with restaurants, bars and shops, as well as offering activities like boat trips that explore Cardiff’s coastline. 
Beautiful Cardiff Castle is also within easy reach of this lovely property and is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Pack a picnic to enjoy in the grounds and make a day of it. 

After a busy day out, what could be better than returning home to slip into a hot tub? Pop open a bottle of bubbly and get some R&R on the private terrace.

Nice to haves

Child Friendly

This walk-up, pet-friendly apartment in the heart of Cardiff’s city centre puts you in an ideal spot to explore the Welsh capital with many of the city's best restaurants, shops, entertainment, attractions, and landmarks within easy walking distance. While it’s certainly not the biggest home in our collection, it comes with plenty of thoughtful touches like Egyptian cotton bedding, Netflix and board games, and the desk space on hand is ideal for those looking to work remotely. With bike hire available and your host able to arrange car rentals too, sightseeing around town and further afield is as easy as can be. 


The Diff

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Set on the top floor of a unique Victorian conversion, this modern pad has everything you'll need for a Cardiff getaway. There's the sleek kitchen, where you can whip up breakfast before exploring or tasty dinners to enjoy with a glass of wine around the table. Fast wifi makes working from home a breeze if you're in town on business – the dining table can double as a desk – and the in-ceiling speakers make listening to your favourite albums or podcasts easy. Or just sink into the plush sofa and rest weary legs after a long day wandering as your favourite show streams on the smart TV. 

Location-wise, this is a residential neighbourhood popular with students. You'll find grocery stores, eateries and local pubs along City Road and Albany Road (both ten minutes on foot), with even more options in the city centre, a twenty-minute walk away. Whether you consider yourself a sports fan or history buff, a foodie or fashionista, Cardiff has something for everyone – plus, if you fancy a night on the town, you can't beat the vibrant bar scene, either.

Tomorrow's Surprise

Parking On Street

Bold and quirky, this apartment is perfect for a business trip, solo explorations or a romantic city break. Only a twenty-five-minute walk from Cardiff's city centre, you're close to shops, vibrant restaurants and museums. And if you time it right, you can also catch a game or live music performance at the famous Principality Stadium. The open dining, living and kitchen space is bright – thanks to the large windows – and comfortable for two. There are some free on-street spaces a short walk away – your host will be happy to point them out to you.

The Edwards

This attractive apartment is a great base for two in Cardiff. You’ll find this home in Pontcanna, one of Cardiff’s most popular areas, close to an excellent selection of great bars, restaurants, and cafes. Ideal for business or leisure, the cosy home includes a dining table that doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace, and a well-equipped kitchen. We love the charming decor – this is the kind of holiday home you can’t wait to return to. 

The Meadows

Swimming Pool

Looking out over the River Taff and the imposing Principality Stadium, this first-floor apartment places you right in the thick of the action. Whether you're in town to catch a titanic battle out on the pitch, catch your favourite band on the latest leg of their sell-out world tour, or simply explore the centre of Cardiff, you couldn't be better placed to experience everything the Welsh capital has to offer. Cardiff Castle, the cafe culture of pedestrianised Duke Street and the city's impressive covered market are all little more than half a mile away.

Contemporary and comfortable are the watchwords here, with an open-plan living space that's perfect for socialising with friends and family. At one end of the space sits an indulgent corner sofa where you can sprawl out in front of the TV, while at the other is a well-equipped kitchen, with a glass-topped dining table sandwiched between the two. Elsewhere, three snug bedrooms range from a twin-bed setup all the way up to a king-size double.

Taf Fechan

Board Games

Private Dryer

Lift Access

Bright, modern and conveniently located a fifteen-minute walk from the centre of Cardiff, this apartment is an excellent choice for weekend getaways and longer stays. Inside, a clutter-free living space is illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows. Watch day break from the comfort of your sofa as you sip an espresso then cook up a tasty breakfast at the sleek kitchenette.

Afternoons are for exploring your surroundings. Enjoy a gentle stroll through nearby Bute Park before moseying over to Cardiff Castle and the National Museum. Catch a rugby game at Principality Stadium, just ten minutes away, or jump in the car and head south to Barry Island for a dip in Whitmore Bay and a large portion of golden fish and chips on the promenade. 

When it’s time to call it a day, head back to your pad for a well-deserved glass of wine and an early night in the sumptuous beds. 

Dakota

Located just a short walk from Cardiff's buzzy centre, this bright home is pretty large when you take into consideration there's only one bedroom. The interior is quietly impressive too, with warm wood floors, big bay windows, and green views of the tree-lined suburban street outside. The sleeping quarters are dominated by soothing neutrals and the sleek grey bathroom has a tub for a relaxing soak last thing at night. The surrounding neighbourhood of Plasnewydd has a residential feel, but you don't have to venture far for livelier scenes. The Principality Stadium takes just over half an hour to reach on foot if you want to catch a rugby game or a concert, while National Museum Cardiff is a fifteen-minute bus journey.

Dragon Mountain

Throws

Perfectly positioned in the Welsh capital, this handsome townhouse is only a nine-minute walk from the ancient Cardiff Castle. In the vicinity, you'll find many restaurants, bars, and tea rooms dotted about, as well as riverside picnic spots and popular music events in Sophia Gardens. Across the River Taff, you could be watching a game of rugby at Principality Stadium within seven minutes of closing your front door – so this truly is as central as it gets.

Tucked away from the buzzing social scene outside, this renovated retreat has home comforts to help you settle in. Wake up in a comfortable king-sized bed, then wander down into your spotless kitchen for pod coffee and a fry-up. When the sun shines, we recommend eating alfresco in your private garden. After a fun day in the city, come back and pick a book from your dining room shelf. Or, bring some DVDs with you and enjoy a movie night in this snug living room.

The Hiding Place

Step-Free Access

Situated in the vibrant area of Roath, everything you need for a city retreat is on your doorstep. The apartment has more than enough communal space for entertaining and is a relaxing base for those exploring the city. You'll find plenty of restaurants and cafes on Wellfield Road, seconds away. Although if you do fancy cooking yourself – you'll find the famous Cardiff Market in the city. Located within walking distance of the centre – you needn't worry about driving or taking public transport. 

The Jones

Cafetiere

Free Parking

Secured Parking

Mosquito Net

Located in the friendly Pontcanna neighbourhood about twenty minutes' walk from Cardiff city centre, this attic flat is a daydream of cosy corners and secret spaces. Set over two floors in a large Victorian house, the home features lots of the owners' finds from across the globe, from crochet rugs picked up in Brazil through to wooden African masks. Pick up books from the shelves and leaf through next to the large sash windows, or simply curl up on the leather sofa for a Netflix movie night. Our favourite space is the attic, reached by a winding staircase with a cosy bed tucked under the rafters and draped in netting — sweet dreams are pretty much guaranteed. The expansive Portcanna Fields are just across the road, while the Principality Stadium is a quarter of an hour's walk if you want to catch a game of rugby.

Dancing In Daydreams

Balcony

Perfectly positioned in the popular area of Roath just by vibrant Wellfield Road – you'll have everything you need for a relaxing stay within walking distance. The interior is bright and contemporary, and if the weather's on your side the apartment benefits from a small balcony. The city centre around a twenty-minute walk away – however, you'll find plenty of restaurants and cafes on your doorstep on Wellfield Road. If you're looking to explore further afield – you're in the ideal location to jump on a bus to Cardiff Bay. 

The Thomas

Desk

Perched above a bakery, this apartment enjoys a prime position near Sophia Gardens. Since it's located on the first floor and spread over two levels, it won't be accessible to everyone. That said, you'll find a stylish interior with a traditional bay window that we love. Best suited to romantic city breaks, the open-plan layout is intimate. Plus, this home offers practical laundry facilities for longer stays. What's more, some of Cardiff's loveliest shops and eateries are only a stone's throw away.

Begin the Moment

Located near bustling Wellfield Road, and just a twenty-five-minute walk from Cardiff city centre, this apartment in Roath offers a convenient base for guests looking to enjoy the city while staying slightly set back from the action. The home's open-plan kitchen, dining and living area provides a highly functional space where you can socialise or relax between days and nights in and around Cardiff. With a modern aesthetic across the apartment, getting a good night's sleep is pretty much guaranteed from this comfortable spot. 

The Bale

Contemporary and convenient, this Cardiff apartment makes for a handy base whether you’re travelling for business or leisure. The decor is simple but attractive, and this home comes with all the essentials so you can really call it home. The super-fast wi-fi is great for those working during their stay, and while there’s no desk, you can comfortably work from the dining room table. There are plenty of restaurants and takeaways nearby for when you don’t fancy cooking, and the sights and shops of the city centre are just a twenty-five minute walk away. 

The Warburton

Compact but practical and modern, this one-bedroom apartment is ideal for everyone from solo nomads on a tour of the UK's castles – Cardiff's lies only minutes away – to romantic weekends in the city and even business trips. The heart of Cardiff with restaurants – great for candlelit dinners – and cafes – for work meet-ups – is a short drive or twenty-five-minute walk away. Though the home is small, there's room enough to comfortably fit two, though we could caution taller guests to watch their heads around the sloped ceilings. Short-stay parking is available outside the home, but Westville Road is best for all-day parking and is a five-minute stroll from the flat.

The Bassey

This charming two bedroom apartment is located in "The Bank", a historic landmark building near the waterfront in Cardiff Bay. The property boasts new facilities with the character and charm of an old building. The apartment features a bedroom with a Super King bed and ensuite shower room, as well as a bedroom with a King Size bed and a family shower room. The open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area provides the perfect space for relaxation. Guests will have access to one allocated secure parking space. The location is convenient, as there are several supermarkets, independent and chain restaurants, bars, cafes, and pubs within walking distance. All national trains come into Cardiff Central, while Cardiff Bay station is just a five-minute walk away. Bookings are protected by a Deposit Guarantee, Guest Guarantee, and public liability provided by SUPERHOG, a risk management partner.

Bulrush Cottage

Shared Pool

Sauna

Parking On Premises

Check-in with your four-legged friends to this chic bolthole stood close to the water's edge of the newly generated Cardiff Bay. Offering up enough amenities to rival a hotel, this place showcases the best of Cardiff city living. Bank a workout in the shared gym or with some lengths of the shared swimming pool, then enjoy a soak in the hot tub.

Back upstairs, you'll love how pristine and light-filled this home feels. Fix up some drinks and nibbles in the made-for-action kitchen space, then curl up on the sofa to drink up the green scenes outside through the Juliet balcony windows.

If you don't fancy cooking, you're just a hop, skip, and jump away from the impressive Cardiff Bay with its tour of waterfront shops and cafes. Or take an early evening stroll along the River Taff bound for the city centre to the pedestrianised Duke Street. Home to impressive eateries and independents beneath its circa. 1902 shopping plaza arcade, it's an evening well spent. And make sure to bid the mighty Cardiff Castle a good evening – it's right opposite. You could even catch a castle ghost tour for legendary tales of Phantom figures and strange phenomena – we dares you.

Where Bluebirds Fly

Perfectly set up for longer stays as well as shorter ones, this smart and practical home is in a great spot close to the River Taff. Convenient for train stations, the city centre and the docks, it's in the heart of the city but your views will be of the tree-lined street and the riverside green space outside your door.

Set on the first floor, your living room's large bay window floods it with light. An open layout keeps everything sociable, with a small but well-kitted-out kitchen in one corner of the room. Elsewhere, two comfy bedrooms and a bathroom make for a home perfect for a family, a couple of friends or indeed for a solo traveller – there's a desk in the second bedroom so it can easily double as an office.

Tourmaline City

This modern executive apartment puts you within easy reach of Cardiff University, Cardiff Castle and the city centre. While it’s not the most characterful pad in our collection, it’s equally suited to business travellers thanks to the desk on hand as it is to those looking for a practical fuss-free stay. It’s pet-friendly too with dog-walking services available for an additional fee, and your host is happy to arrange cleaning services, laundry, and fridge fills to make sure your stay is as carefree as possible. 


The Chaperone

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. This sunny south-facing ground floor apartment opens up to a private sheltered courtyard garden through trifold doors. The apartment is located close to the city centre, provides free parking, and offers a super comfy Super King Bed. Please note that the property has a narrow walkway for access, with the narrowest point measuring 46cm, limiting larger items from entry. Situated in Plasnewydd, Cardiff, this retreat is not suitable for children. Guests have complete access to the property, and check-in and check-out times can be adjusted subject to availability and a fee. With no pets allowed, this urban oasis ensures a peaceful stay where respect for neighbors is highly appreciated. This is your home away from home in Cardiff, so please treat it as such by caring for it during your stay.

Sunny City Retreat

In a prime spot just a stone's throw away from the city centre, this smart apartment is the perfect place for a getaway in vibrant Cardiff. Fresh, modern and minimal, we love the nods to the building's heritage in the original fireplace and vintage-style tiles in the bathroom. Though on the smaller side, the all-in-one living/dining/kitchen area still feels bright and roomy. Two extra guests can sleep on the contemporary sofa bed, but we'd say this home is a better base for two. Begin your mornings with breakfast in the bay window before immersing yourself in history at Cardiff Castle, exploring the shops and cafes along the Victorian arcades or taking lunch waterside at Cardiff Bay. For dinner, we recommend grabbing a bite at one of the excellent restaurants, pubs and bars close by, then finish off the evening with a glass of wine in the lounge.

Little Cloud

Bright and bold, this apartment isn’t for the faint of heart. But as long as you’re not in the market for neutral tones, there’s a lot to like about this quirky home. It’s ideal for groups of friends visiting Cardiff, as there’s lots of communal space – we’re especially fond of the balcony area for summer evenings around the barbecue. Best of all, it’s not too far from the action – vibrant Wellfield Road is a 5-minute walk, Cardiff city centre is ten minutes away by cab, and Principality Stadium is just over 3 miles away. 

The Welsh Dragon

Blender

Fenced Property

With its hand-picked collection of contemporary furnishings, fully-equipped kitchen and sumptuous beds dressed in crisp white linens, this Cardiff abode feels just like home. Downstairs, a medley of blue and green hues come together to create a calming atmosphere – the cosy living space was our favourite place to end the day, especially with a glass of wine in hand.

Start your mornings with breakfast in the dining space before enjoying a moment of stillness with a cup of tea outside on the patio. If you’re in the mood to explore, take the thirteen-minute-drive into the heart of the city for a trip back in time at Cardiff Castle. Watch a rugby game at Principality Stadium or shop around the Morgan Quarter. Should you fancy a day at the seaside, Barry Island Beach is a forty-minute car ride away. 

Blue Medley

Shared Washing Machine

Shared Dryer

This apartment in south Cardiff is the perfect spot for a business trip, a family holiday or a couple’s getaway. Plush velvet furniture and a moss green colour palette create a cosy, relaxing living area, which is filled with natural light. Step through the balcony doors for a magnificent view of the calm waters of Bute East Dock. You’ll find a little table on the balcony which is the perfect spot for breakfast, or relaxing in the sun with a book. The kitchen is well equipped for whipping up home cooked meals, and the dining table doubles up as a handy workspace. There's super fast wi-fi, in case you need to get some work done. 

The apartment is in Atlantic Wharf, a neighbourhood placed conveniently between the city centre and the sea. Cardiff Bay can be reached in twelve minutes on foot, where you can admire the grand russet exterior of the Pierhead Building, or get a dose of culture at the Norwegian Church Art centre, a beautiful gallery set in a 19th century church with views across the bay. After a day of work or exploring, draw yourself a bubble bath, and then settle down for a movie night together. 

Dockside Dreaming

This newly built Cardiff townhouse may have crisp, contemporary exteriors, but inside, it's a more homely picture. Out with the minimalist and in with curated antiques and artwork, this bolthole suits those looking for a more characterful, lived-in feel. With bedrooms spaced apart over two levels, it's perfect for friends or colleagues who appreciate a little more privacy. And set just a lazy ten-minute stroll from Cardiff's centre, its location is spot on – as is that private parking space when it's time to say adieu.

Paint a Picture

A pet-friendly pad within easy walking distance of Cardiff’s city centre, this comfortable apartment is all about practicality. Its fuss-free design isn’t the most wow-worthy of our collection, but it’s perfect for business travellers or families looking for a place to rest their heads between sightseeing ventures. Your host is happy to share their thoughts on the best restaurants, bars and dog-friendly spaces nearby and you’re a hop, skip and jump from Cardiff University and Cardiff Castle. With comfy mattresses, black-out blinds and even a small outdoor space to soak up the sun (we’re optimists), there’s plenty to enjoy at this city stay. 


Drawing the City

Heated Towel Rail

Access to Gym / Spa

This chic Cardiff Bay apartment is perfect for a couple, a couple of couples or even a small family. Boasting a lovely, light filled open plan kitchen cum dining cum living area courtesy of near floor to ceiling sliding doors which open out onto a glass fronted balcony, this wonderful home in the Welsh capital is comfortable, cosy and characterful.  Perfect for solo or social occasions, you’ll love cooking up a storm in the kitchen, sitting down to dinner with a bottle of wine, stepping out onto the balcony or chilling out on the lounge worthy L-shaped sofa for movie night. Yours for as little or as long as you please, you’re sure to feel at home with ease. 

If you fancy getting out and about, why not go twitching in the Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve, the site of a former salt marsh, get your geek on at Techniquest, peruse Pierhead or head out on a boat trip to historic Flat Holm Island.


Sliding Glass Doors

Immerse yourself in local life at this charming two-bedroom townhouse, set in a residential area of the city. Sandwiched between bustling, student-friendly Cathays, and the open green spaces of Roath, this charming home offers easy access to everything Cardiff has to offer. 

Beyond your family-friendly surroundings, Cardiff's bustling City Centre – with its vast covered market, grand Victorian shopping arcades and ancient landmarks – is approximately 1.5 miles away. Alternatively, head a few miles south and explore Cardiff Bay's impressive regenerated waterfront, with its wealth of restaurants, bars, cafes and shops.

On the ground floor, an open layout encompasses a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable seating area – perfect for rustling up mouthwatering homemade meals while ensuring there are always some willing volunteers to help out when needed. Head upstairs and you'll find two snug and stylish double bedrooms, plus a sleek shower room. Skylights in the second bedroom and shower provide plenty of natural light, while the main bedroom benefits from double doors that open out to a Juliet balcony overlooking the road.


New Manor

Catching our eye with its colourful living area and terrace, we think this flat in hip Pontcanna is perfect for two style-conscious couples. If alfresco dining is out of bounds due to drizzle, the breakfast bar can squeeze everyone around it for indoor meals. While the bedrooms are a little snug – the second requires one guest to climb over the bed to reach their side – they are cosy spots to rest after a day exploring Bute Park and Cardiff city centre (twenty-five minutes on foot or ten by bus). Closer to home, you'll find quaint eateries and cosy pubs just a short stroll away.

The Wild Flower

Right in the centre of Cardiff, this apartment is ideal for city explorers who want a practical base with all the necessary comforts. Though the space is on the more minimal side, we love the amount of natural light that floods in, while the balcony is a great spot to share a glass of wine at the end of the day. The location is the real perk of this home – right in the city centre, you can walk to The Museum of Cardiff, Cardiff Market, Cardiff International Arena and Cardiff Castle.

Return to Cardiff

This apartment in south Cardiff is the perfect spot for a business trip or a couple’s getaway. The cosy carpeted living space has a squishy sofa for movie nights, and a glass door that opens out onto a little balcony. The kitchen is well equipped for whipping up home cooked meals, and the glass dining table doubles up as a handy workspace. Throw the curtains open in the morning and let sunlight stream into the bedroom through the large windows. Pets are welcome here, and you’ll have a secure designated parking space. 

The apartment is in Butetown, a neighbourhood placed conveniently between the city centre and the sea. Cardiff Bay can be reached in twelve minutes on foot, where you can admire the grand russet exterior of the Pierhead Building, or get a dose of culture at the Norwegian Church Art centre, a beautiful gallery set in a 19th century church with views across the bay. Silurian Park is on your doorstep, and there are plenty of local shops, cafes and supermarkets within easy walking distance. After a day of work or exploring, head home, draw yourself a bubble bath, crack open a bottle of red and relax. 

Butetown Blues

Newly built and immaculate throughout, this contemporary apartment is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a bolthole set equidistant from the city centre and Cardiff Bay. Take your pick from the must-see sights, all within walking distance of this home, starting at the newly regenerated Cardiff Bay. With breathtaking views over the Bristol Channel and a tour of waterfront shops and cafes, you could easily while away an afternoon here. Or take a stroll along the River Taff, just moments from your door, bound for the city centre for a mooch about the pedestrianised streets of Duke Street. And no visit to Wales’ capital would be complete without calling in on Cardiff Castle.

When it’s time to put your feet up, you’ll love how light-filled and inviting this home feels. A great choice for friends or couples sharing, bedrooms are spaced apart for a little extra privacy. While over in the living space, there’s heaps of room to spill out in style for movie nights (Sky TV is at the ready) or lazy mealtimes around the dining table as you hatch plans for another adventure in the city. 

The Taff Next Door

Ideal for business travellers and those looking to be within walking distance of Cardiff’s city centre, this bright apartment may not be the most characterful in our collection but it ticks a lot of boxes for a practical, comfortable stay. With a desk on hand and your host able to provide a scanner or printer, it’s well-suited to those looking to work remotely – especially given the ample coffee available and well-stocked kitchen. It’s pet-friendly too and comes with thoughtful extras like black-out blinds, comfortable mattresses and a Sky TV package. Your host has plenty of recommendations on restaurants, bars and places to bring your clients and furry friends, and with Cardiff Castle and Cardiff University nearby, there’s plenty to see and do.  


Sage Panther

Stair Gates

By renting in this luxury two-floor apartment, you can rest assured all your needs have been met and a comfortable, memorable stay awaits. Just ten minutes from Cardiff city centre, this luminous home also enjoys all the perks of Penarth's seaside setting.

It won't take long to settle into the generous open-plan living space, featuring a seventy-five inch smart TV that gives the room a cosy cinema feel after-dark. A recently renovated kitchen comes with the essential modern mod-cons, ensuring that cooking meals here is a joy from start to finish. Through to the bedrooms, the boutique-style furnishings are colourful and mood-boosting – all the more welcome in the drizzly winter months – and each leads to its own en suite bathroom.

Make the most of this idyllic location and saunter towards the coast, reachable in just fifteen minutes. If a city experience is what you crave, drive into Cardiff proper and wind your way up to the impressive motte and bailey castle, built in medieval times. Once you're suitably warmed up, fit in a quick workout back at the building's gym, followed by a relaxing soak in the bath.

Quality of Life

There's something effortlessly sophisticated about this apartment in the Welsh resort town of Penarth. The huge window that runs across one side of the home across both floors means that the interior is never short of natural light and the design choices have been made to accentuate this gift, especially the sleek kitchen surfaces, white walls and parquet-style flooring.

As well as being gloriously modern in style, there's a whole host of perks that come with this address, too. On the second floor, you'll find a small balcony that overlooks the complex's courtyard with room to sit and enjoy some peace. The building also has a gym taking up the ground floor, for which guests get complimentary access during their stay.

Penarth has plenty of coastal attractions to keep you occupied, including a pier and marina both fifteen minutes' walk away. The centre of Cardiff takes a similar amount of time to reach on the train, while Barry Island and its beach can be reached in just over twenty minutes' drive.
