With its own separate entrance, double bed and en-suite shower room, guests can enjoy complete privacy. Located in a quiet yet convenient area, it is within easy walking distance of the beaches, coastal path and the village of Mumbles. Please read the FULL listing description carefully for important details about the limitations of this accommodation. The space Tucked away in a quiet setting, this welcoming rustic space is perfect for couples, solo travellers or anyone looking for a short, relaxing seaside escape The style of the space reflects our mid-century bungalow, with large glazed panels, eclectic furniture and a colourful interior. It may not be suitable if you favour beige! Our house wraps around a central courtyard with a swimming pool in the centre (it was built in the 1960s by an architect who was influenced by his time in California!) and the garden room is located at the back of the house in one wing. Your room is completely private, very quiet and safe with a lockable door and you’ll have sole access to the external door leading to the room. It is surrounded by greenery to give it privacy . There is a kettle, mini fridge, tea, coffee, and fresh milk in your room. There is also crockery, cutlery and glasses but no microwave or other cooking facilities. Please ask if you need anything. Please note that the entrance can be tricky for some people and there are other limitations with the accommodation so please read the ‘OTHER THINGS TO NOTE’ before booking. With private parking included, it’s an ideal base for exploring the local coastline, beaches, cafés, and nearby village attractions. We have been Airbnb hosts almost since its inception in the UK so I hope our experience over the years has led us to think of everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay! Hi Guest access Guests have sole use of the external door which leads directly to the garden room. You’ll walk down a narrow path at the side of the house to the external glazed door and enter your room via a tiled entrance lobby. The access can be a little tricky for people with mobility issues or if you are very tall as the path is narrow and there are 3 small steps with a low ceiling - you’ll need to duck - but once inside I hope you’ll find it beautiful, cosy, private and colourful! Parking is in our private space next to the blue wall on the road or you may use our drive (but please ask so we don’t block you in!) Our house is located halfway between the beach and village at the top of one of the many hills in mumbles! During your stay Although there is a key safe to give you flexible check in, we can also be available to let you in and we are really happy to help with any enquiries or recommendations. There is usually someone at the house who can assist you with anything to ensure you are always comfortable and enjoying your stay. You can also contact Caroline directly on her mobile. We’ve created a printed leaflet for you and is in your room with suggested itineraries, places to visit and a list of bars, cafes and restaurants. Please ask if you’d like any other information on the area. We enjoy interaction but we will also respect your privacy if you wish to be left alone. We don’t usually see our guests but there’s a chance we could bump into you on our drive! Other things to note PLEASE READ This accommodation is only available for short spontaneous getaways and the calendar is not usually opened more than 2 - 3 weeks in advance. The price and max length of stay reflects the limitations of the accommodation and although this will not impact your enjoyment you need to be aware before you book. Here’s the list - I hope I’ve thought of absolutely everything! Although the room is on the ground floor the entrance can be a little tricky for some people, especially if you are very tall or have mobility issues.. It is accessed via a narrow path, a shortish door then 3 small steps and a low ceiling - you’ll need to duck! The ensuite uses a macerator to get rid of water and waste (Like in a caravan bathroom) which prohibits the disposal of anything other than bodily waste and minimal toilet paper in the toilet. The waste water from the shower or sink are also on a saniflo system which sometimes makes a pumping sound whilst in use. Although the shower screen is full height there is a slightly sloping ceiling which may be an issue if you’re very very tall! The large glazed windows are partly frosted to provide privacy but allow the light in. The curtains have black out linings but may not be 100% light proof! The room is surrounded by trees which gives it privacy but also impacts the light in the room. There is no microwave There’s no outdoor seating area. We are located at the top of a hill - one of many in Mumbles - but this means we are equidistant between the village and beaches:) On the plus side, It is beautiful, clean and in a great location with free private parking directly outside the house and these limitations will not affect your enjoyment! Even though the check in is listed as 4pm - 2am we can often be flexible - just ask! Our price is for 1 or 2 adults and we don’t charge a deposit or extra for cleaning. Sorry but the space isn’t suitable for very young children or pets. If the limitations of this room don’t suit you we also have a self contained annex with more space and facilities that we let out on Airbnb airbnb.com/h/colourfulartistshouse
