Marina View Apartment
Beautiful beaches and countryside on the doorstep for all the family to enjoy
The a comodation was quiet, clean, warm and well equipped. There was a convenience store adjoining the site. The bus service was good and we used it to get from Swansea to the property and to get to the start or from the end of coastal walks. We were very happy with the stay.
