Cool for Kids

There’s time to book a summer break in one of our 250+ holiday cottages in the Swansea, Mumbles and Gower areas of South Wales. We’ve got you covered. At Home from Home we promise we can make it easy for you and take care of all your needs. You’ll be guaranteed a hand-picked bolt-hole by the sea and miles of unspoiled sandy beaches in the UK’s first ever designated area of outstanding natural beauty.

What we can’t guarantee is the weather; but fear not, we’ve got bags of boredom-busting days within easy reach of your cottage, for kids with grown-ups in tow.
