Lighthouse Retreat

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.

Mother Bear

Just a fifteen-minute walk from Penarth's seafront, beach and pretty pier, this stylish modern home is part of a period building with a surprising past. A landmark in the town for the past century, it was once a motor repair shop and petrol station. Recently converted to luxury apartments, there's plenty of the Art Deco exterior left for fans of design and architecture – nowhere more so than the communal courtyard to the rear.

Set over two floors, this home boasts panoramic rooftop views from its huge living room windows and a really high-end finish. Styled to perfection with parquet flooring, sumptuous furnishings and a contemporary kitchen, it's a classy home with plenty of room for up to six. We particularly love the bright bedrooms, with their comfy, oversize beds and ensuite bathrooms, and there's even a small balcony so there's somewhere to sip your coffee in the sunshine.

Just a ten-minute drive from the bright lights of Cardiff, there's plenty to see and do just here if you're looking for a seaside break, and there are all sorts of places to eat and drink in the neighbourhood. And if you're missing your fitness routine, this place has the perfect solution thanks to an arrangement with the gym on the ground floor.

The Old Motor Shop

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

If you're on the hunt for a serene stay in South Wales then look no further than this cosy lodge, based in the picturesque town of Cowbridge. This home is perfectly placed just a short drive from Barry Island, the fun-filled seaside resort that you may recognise from the TV show Gavin & Stacey, where you can enjoy thrilling fairground rides, relax on sandy beaches and go on merry walks along the rugged coastline.

This home is ideal for those who want to get back to nature – it's surrounded by five acres of lush green shared gardens that you can explore, including a barbecue where you can grill up summertime feasts, as well as a communal outdoor pool that's fantastic for cooling down on summer days. Inside, you'll find cosy lodge-style interiors that make the home feel really welcoming, along with all the mod cons you need for a fabulous stay. You can cook up full Welsh breakfasts in the fully-equipped kitchen, or relax with a glass of wine by the log burner fireplace – and all in absolute peace.

Welsh Toffee

Channelling the art deco architecture of Penarth Pier Pavilion into its design, this two-bed apartment is located conveniently close to Dingle Road train station (with trains into Cardiff every fifteen minutes). It offers a cool modern flat well within striking distance of some of south Wales' headline attractions.

An open-plan communal space is well-lit thanks to plenty of windows, with light wood parquet flooring, a white granite worktop, and mirrors to bounce the light around. The clean lines of the grey kitchen provide an uncluttered space to unleash your inner chef, and the seating area is perfect for stretching out in front of the TV.

Both generously proportioned bedrooms have a good amount of storage space, so you can unpack and feel right at home, while the en-suite bathrooms add a touch of luxury.

A communal yoga lawn provides a sanctuary of outdoor calm, and the sea is only a few minutes' walk away if you fancy listening to the soothing sound of waves lapping at the shore. It's close enough to Cardiff to see it across the water, yet far enough away to retain plenty of charm – it's easy to see why Penarth frequently tops lists of the best places to live in Wales.

Bear's Head

Wake up to sea views every day with a stay at this Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, lying just a ten-minute stroll from the coast in the sleepy seaside village of Newport in Pembrokeshire.

Pop around the estuary to the dog-friendly Newport Sands Beach (a nine-minute drive) for kite flying, sandcastle building, and picnicking - or up the ante with board boarding and kayaking. Mosey around the galleries or find a sunny spot at one of the street cafes or gastropubs in the village (a ten-minute walk). Or jump in the car for a day trip to Pembrokeshire's other hotspots along the western coast, including St David's and Tenby.

Back at the beautifully restored townhouse, the stunning kitchen extension leading out onto the pretty walled garden is the heart of the home here. Flooded with natural light thanks to the bifold doors, it's a wonderful spot to gather everyone. Cooking is a dream in the matt-black shaker-style kitchen, with everything you'll need to whip up feasts. Dish up inside at the dining table in the sunroom with views out over the garden  –⁠ the underfloor heating keeps things toasty in the winter months. Or dine alfresco and catch the last of the sun from the raised patio in the summer months.

Upstairs, the elegant bedrooms spread out over two floors, and each commands the most spectacular vistas of the beach, estuary, and sea beyond. Trust us  –⁠ it's a scene you'll never tire of here.

Wild West

If you’re seeking a home that offers both urban and rural living, this first-floor apartment within walking distance of Peterston-Super-Ely may just be for you. Sitting 7 miles from Cardiff yet surrounded by tranquil countryside scenery, you’ve got the best of both worlds here. While the decor inside is a little underwhelming, the large windows let the green views do the talking and you’ll have access to a communal patio and barbecue area that’s shared with the downstairs apartment. You can also take advantage of the impressive 240-acre farmland with its small lake for ample walking opportunities and wildlife spotting, while children will love feeding the ducks, visiting the sheep and playing on the expansive lawn areas.
