Bliss at Blacksmiths

Bali St is conveniently located a short walk from Blacksmiths Beach and kid-friendly Grannies Pool, making it a great base if you have young children. The neighbourhood is quiet and the house has everything you need for a casual beach holiday. We had 8 people sleep comfortably for a week.

Awesome summer holiday

This property was amazing. Plenty of room, spotless, comfortable fittings. We had a great time, kids loved it. It was hard to think of anything that we needed for our holiday that was not there for our use. Would definitely recommend this property and happily stay there again. Owners were wonderful.

Charming and well equipped

We enjoyed our 2 night stay in winter. A cosy cottage quickly warmed by air con and plenty of spare blankets . The hosts have thought of everything a family might need. The cottage has a lovely retro feel. The location is excellent - if you have young children with you Blacksmiths Beach and park are just a few minutes walk down the road, and there is plenty to look at in Swansea channel which is a stones throw away.

Spotless, quiet, walk to surf beach

We had two very comfortable nights here. Spacious for two families, shaded outdoor area and the cleanest holiday rental that I have visited. Easy walk to Blacksmiths beach and grannies pool and a short drive to groceries in Swansea. We would love to come again.

Fantastic stay in a fantastic location

The house is in an excellent location, walking distance to Blacksmiths beach and to a nice cafe/yoga place. The house is so well equipped for friends and family. They even have children’s facilities such as sand and beach toys, kids cutlery and board games. All the nice extra touches was so thoughtful. The house is very well equipped. We will definitely be back.
