Cardiff holiday cottages

Self-catering cottages near Cardiff

Cardiff, or Caerdydd in Welsh, is the capital of Wales and offers its visitors top-class entertainment, fantastic shopping and a rich history.

Abundant in ancient history, sporting excitement and a romantic ambience which can only be found in Wales, this is a modern city mingling with an ancient castle and a rich, passionate and proud history. Cardiff has added some world-charting architecture to its arsenal in recent years, with the Millennium Stadium playing host to national and international sporting events – and the Wales Millennium Centre for dining, shopping, entertainment and idling away afternoons with a chardonnay in hand, in front of stunning views over Cardiff Bay. This stark modernity nestles beautifully alongside the ancient structures and proud historic icons of Cardiff Castle and Cardiff National Museum.

Close to the expansive green hills of South Wales, it takes no time at all to venture out of Cardiff’s vibrant city centre and find yourself immersed in verdant valleys, with nothing but the tweet of birdsong as your companion and the odd sheep interrupting the expanses.

If you’d like to holiday further afield and perhaps stop by Cardiff as part of a trip exploring the wider, enchanting region of South Wales, you could take a look through our South Wales cottage collection or our beautiful Brecon Beacons retreats.
