Oakland Road Reviews

Clive
A great property with plenty of space. Well equipped and comfortable. Itâ??s the fourth time weâ??ve booked this property.
Fiona
Great location for visiting shops, beaches, cafes & castle. Parking permits required on 3/4s of the road makes parking difficult & itâ??s quite steep so tricky for grandma to walk up/down. Well equipped house & a good size. We didnâ??t need the twin beds in the attic, then bunk beds & 2 double rooms on first floor. A lounge & a lounge-dining-kitchen, 2 bath/shower rooms. Not enough to do in the area for a full week with kids if the weather isnâ??t good enough for lots of beach time, though the castle is worth a visit.
Craig
We had the loveliest of times at the property! 15 Mins walk to beautiful beaches The mumbles restaurants and promenade just a short walk away. The Accomadationâ??s has all the mod cons you could wish for! Looks small from the front but all the rooms are massive inside and very well laid out living space, comfortable and relaxing! bedrooms lovely! Kitchen and kitchen utility room superb! Dining room a great space. We will definitely be back! Felt like a home from home! Could bot think of a thing wrong! 100%- 5-Star Stay!
