We really enjoyed our stay at Cardiff Beach Cottage. It is a great location, directly facing the ocean, and it was lovely watching the waves. The cottage is charming. It is an older property, so the bathrooms/kitchen are not updated, but that gives it a quaint vibe and everything is spotlessly clean. It is located on a busy street, which can be a little challenging as parking is across the street. It could also be quite loud with the cars and the trains. As we stayed in winter, that was not an issue as the windows were closed, but in the summer with the windows open you might want to employ ear plugs. The location is perfect for surfing and walking. There is a trail in front of the house and you can do a loop along the cliffs. To surf, you will need to get in the car and drive 5 minutes either direction, as there is not beach access directly from the house. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the teenager with us just loved the loft bed and called it his eyrie ;)

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cardiff Beach Cottage! The location is great not only for watching the sunset over the water but also for walking to the beach, shops and restaurants. The cottage is wonderfully maintained and has a nice comfortable layout for spending time with family both outside and inside. Most importantly the hosts are very accommodating, friendly, helpful. Looking forward to visiting again! Steve & Karen

The charming 2 bedroom cottage was exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable. Parking for 2 car was right in front and parking across the street was always easy. Plenty of good restaurants were a short drive or walk away. The outdoor space looking west was great for sunsets and people watching. Family owners on site were very engaging. Highly recommend this charmer and Cardiff as a destination.
