Mrs Baker
Another fantastic holiday at Oakland House! This is our third time staying there and we have already booked to go back next year. With two young children, we have found Mumbles to be an ideal destination with huge beautiful beaches like Rhosilli and Three Cliffs Bay nearby and the lovely Caswell and Langland Bay just 5 minutes away in the car. We love Rhosilli in particular with the spectacular views over Worms Head and the sunflower fields with activity trails for the kids. This year we also discovered the tennis courts at Langland Bay which were easy to book and newly re-surfaced offering another local activity. > > We all enjoyed the Blackpill lido and playground especially riding there and back on the little train! The Wales national pool and “family splash” was also a hit which we combined with a visit to “Secrets” restaurant right on the beach. Another fabulous meal at the Lighthouse at Bracelet bay - amazing views and great little playground for the kids. > > As usual, Mumbles itself did not disappoint with its great range of shops and cafes - Boo and Microlot cafe being favourites for the delicious coffee, cinnamon buns and blondies. > > After all this, we love returning to Oakland House - spacious, comfortable and very well equipped and with a lovely balcony - perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks overlooking the bay and castle. The owners were, as ever, very responsive and helpful to requests and queries about parking permits and offering discounts for some local businesses. All in all, another fabulous Mumbles holiday!

I am disabled and was looking forward to watching television in the bedroom. There was no remote so couldn’t turn tv on. Was very disappointed. The house itself with its many rooms was indeed beautiful and ideal for a large family.
