Packing Tip: UK weather can turn quickly, so pack layers whatever the forecast. A waterproof and sturdy shoes mean the whole group can head out whatever September throws at you.

What to Expect Through the Year

  • ✓ May - September: Warmest, longest days - ideal for big group days out, gardens and BBQs
  • ✓ October - November: Crisp autumn colour, cosy evenings by the fire, quieter attractions
  • ✓ December - February: Perfect for a snug winter escape - great for Christmas and New Year gatherings
  • ✓ March - April: Spring blooms, longer evenings returning, wildlife becoming active
🌧️
Rainy Day Tip: A large cottage comes into its own on wet days - board games, a long lunch and a film with the whole group beat a cramped hotel any day. Check the tabs here for nearby pubs and attractions with indoor options.

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!
Clive
Spacious property was well suited for our family holiday.
